A handoff mechanism for use with a media stacker of a media production apparatus comprises a plurality of kicker units () arranged across a width of the handoff mechanism. A common drive mechanism () is provided to move the plurality of kicker units () between a closed position and an open position. Each kicker unit (), when in the closed position during use, applies a pressure to any media sheets that are already stacked in a stacker tray () while a new media sheet is being fed to the stacker tray. The pressure provided by each kicker unit () is independent of the pressure provided by the other kicker units ().
