Abstract
A printer media cassette includes a movable arm which defines a desired path for media stock to facilitate insertion and removal of the cassette from a printer. The cassette also includes a tensioner arm for providing slack in the media path within the cassette to account for slippage between a feed roller of the printer and the media. Latching mechanisms on the cassette cooperate with latching mechanisms on a printer to assure proper installation of the cassette within the printer.
