1. A plate stability apparatus for a media separator, comprising:
plates to handle media for a media operation;
vertical members on which corners of the plates are interfaced to move each plate up or down the vertical members to a vertical position for the media operation;
wherein once a given plate reaches a corresponding vertical position along the vertical members, the corners of the plates are locked into place to prevent tilting and movement of the given plate;
wherein the vertical members are rails with sidewalls, and wherein each plate includes a plate bearing extending adjacent to a corresponding corner of a corresponding plate and attached to the corresponding plate, each plate bearing fits snuggly inside corresponding sidewalls of a corresponding rail;
wherein the sidewalls pinch against plate bearings locking each plate bearing in place at the corresponding vertical position for the media operation.
