An apparatus, comprising:

• a carrier adapted to perform rotational motion about an axis of rotation;
• a pick arm lever comprising an abutment surface affixed to the carrier, wherein rotation of the carrier in a first rotational direction about the axis of rotation places the pick arm level in an abutting relationship with an elected item of media, wherein rotation of the carrier in a second rotational direction about the axis of rotation places the pick arm level in a non-abutting relationship with the elected item of media allowing the elected item of media to be picked and transported by rollers;
• and
• the rollers comprise an upper nip roller and a lower nip roller, wherein the lower nip roller is a partial truncated roller that is not a whole roller, wherein the upper nip roller is driven in an opposite direction of the lower nip roller and driven at a different speed from the lower nip roller.

A method, comprising:

• continuously rotating an abutment surface of a pick arm lever forward and backward against an elected item of media in a clockwise and anticlockwise motion about an axis of rotation;
• inducing motion of a first end of the pick arm lever based on the continuously rotating against the elected item of media;
• separating the elected item of media by activating a vacuum source situated on the first end of the pick arm lever;
• terminating the vacuum source releasing the elected item of media to rollers;
• rotating the rollers in opposite directions and a different speeds, wherein the rollers comprise an upper nip roller and a lower nip roller, and wherein the lower nip roller is a partial truncated roller that is not a whole roller.

A system, comprising:

• a pick unit comprising a gear, a carrier, a pick arm lever, an upper nip roller, and a lower nip roller;
• and
• a media cassette comprising media items;
• wherein the pick arm lever further comprises an abutment surface having a suction element on a first end and fixedly attached on a second end off center to the carrier;
• wherein the gear drives the carrier in a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction causing the abutment surface with the suction element to abut an elected item of media from the media cassette, separate the elected item of media, and release the elected item of media from the suction element to the upper nip roller and the lower nip roller;
• wherein the upper nip roller comprises a first diameter that is different from a second diameter of the lower nip roller;
• wherein the upper nip roller is driven in a clockwise direction while the lower nip roller is driven in an anticlockwise direction;
• wherein the upper nip roller is driven at a first speed in the clockwise direction that is different from the lower nip roller driven at a second speed in the anticlockwise direction;
• wherein the lower nip roller is a partial truncated roller that is not a whole roller.
