Abstract
A divider separates an enclosure into separate compartments that are shaped and sized to maintain sheets of media. A connector is positioned at a first end of the enclosure and the connector is shaped to connect to a document handler. The compartments are positioned to supply and receive the sheets of media to and from the document handler when the enclosure is connected to the document handler. A cover is positioned at the first end of the enclosure. The cover is adapted to open and close and allows access to the compartments. A lock is connected to the cover. The lock maintains the cover in a closed position when locked.
