Abstract:
1. A media processing device comprising: a main frame; an openable unit that is attached to the main frame pivotably on a first pivot axis through a range from a closed position to an open position; a media transportation path that is formed between the openable unit in the closed position and the main frame for conveying a recording medium, and becomes open when the openable unit opens toward the open position; a lock member that is attached to the main frame movably between a locked position where it locks the openable unit in the closed position, and an unlocked position where the lock is released; an operating lever that can rotate relative to the main frame on a second pivot axis that is parallel to the first pivot axis at a different position than the first pivot axis, wherein the operating lever pivots about the second pivot axis at differing pivot positions along the operating lever through a range from a first pivot position through a second pivot position to a third pivot position; and a first cam mechanism that is disposed between the operating lever and the openable unit,
