Claim 0:
1. A media management device, comprising:
an input media interface to receive continuous print media from an external media source;
an output media interface to supply the continuous print media to an input roller of a media processing printing device comprising a printzone for deposit of printing fluid; and
a nip defined between a first roller and a second roller, wherein at least one of the first roller and the second roller comprises a motorized roller, wherein the motorized roller has a lower coefficient of friction with respect to the continuous print media than the input roller of the media processing printing device, and
wherein the continuous print media is received by the nip from the input media interface and is supplied from the nip to the output media interface;
wherein the motorized roller is controlled to isolate a tension in the continuous print media at the input roller of the media processing printing device from a tension in the continuous print media at the external media source to allow control of the continuous print media in the media processing printing device to be isolated from conditions at the external media source.
