Claim:
A media tray assembly for a printer comprising: an input tray having two opposing side walls, each side wall being provided with a sliding slot; a removable output tray having two opposing side edges and two rotating members integrally formed at two opposing corners of the output tray, each of said rotating members having an arcuate surface to enable rotation, wherein said sliding slots are configured so as to enable the rotating members of said output tray to slide into engagement or slide out of engagement therewith, and when said rotating members are engaging said sliding slots, said output tray is pivotable between a substantially horizontal position and an inclined position relative to the input tray; and a pair of flexible projections disposed at locations above the sliding slots so as to come into engagement with the opposing side edges of the output tray when the output tray reaches said inclined position after being pivoted away from said substantially horizontal position, wherein said pair of flexible projections deflect in response to engagement with said pivoting output tray so as to then hold and to retain the output tray at the inclined position, wherein said output tray is manually pivotable from the substantially horizontal position and latched onto the projections in one continuous motion by a user.
