Output Hopper for Media Processing Devices

A method of collection for output media units from a media processing device, wherein the method comprises:

• receiving a plurality of media units from the media processing device into an output hopper, wherein the plurality of media units forms a stack in the output hopper;
• retaining the plurality of media units within the output hopper via a first door of the output hopper, the first door of the output hopper having a cutout in a top edge of the first door, wherein as subsequent media units are received and included atop the stack, the stack approaches the cutout;
• and
• spilling out media units from the top of the stack through the cutout once the height of the stack exceeds the height of a height of the first door, reaching the cutout.
