Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 7:
8. A device comprising:
a media processing device;
an input media management device;
the media processing device including a media processing zone for processing a portion of continuous print media; and
a motorized drive roller to receive the continuous print media for transport through the media processing zone,
wherein the media processing device is couplable via an interface to the input media management device, the media processing device further comprising:
an output media interface to receive the continuous print media from the input media management device, wherein a tension in the continuous print media at the motorized drive roller is isolated from tension in the continuous print media at an external media source using the input media management device to allow control of the continuous print media in the media processing device to be isolated from conditions at the external media source, and
a nip defined in relation to a motorized nip roller of the media management device, wherein the continuous print media is received by the nip from the external media source and is supplied from the nip to the motorized drive roller of the media processing device, and wherein the motorized nip roller of the input media management device has a lower coefficient of friction with respect to the continuous print media than the motorized drive roller of the media processing device.
