Patent ID: 8262083

Claim:
A media cassette including a body coupled to a removable lid, the media cassette comprising: a housing defining a closeable pick window at a picking end; a floor spaced from a lower side of the housing for supporting a stack of media items, the floor including a detent aperture; an urging plate slideably mounted on the floor and biased towards the pick window for urging the stack of media items towards the pick window; a detent located distal from the pick window for engaging the urging plate between the urging plate and a non-picking end opposite the picking end to limit movement of the urging plate away from the pick window, the detent including a stub in a first position protruding through the detent aperture in the floor; and a detent moving mechanism operable to move the detent to a non-protruding second position when activated, thereby allowing the urging plate to move away from the pick window and to exert less force on the stack of media items.
