A media drive may include a media drive member, a shaft, a pick arm rotationally supporting the media drive member and a transmission operably coupling the shaft and the media drive member such that rotation of the shaft in a first direction drives the media drive member. A one-way clutch may be coupled to the shaft so as to be operably disengaged from the shaft in response to the shaft rotating in the first direction, wherein the one-way clutch is to rotate with the shaft in response to the shaft being rotated in a second direction opposite the first direction. A torque limiter may be connected to the one-way clutch to rotate with the one-way clutch, wherein the torque limiter is coupled to the pick arm to pivot the pick arm and the media drive member in response to the shaft being rotated in the second direction.
