An apparatus and method (200) that detaches media from a fuser in a printer is disclosed. The method includes feeding (220) a media sheet through a fuser member and applying (230) gas from an air knife to the media sheet on the fuser member to detach the media sheet at a detach point from the fuser member. The method also includes asserting (240) tension on the media sheet using a set of rotational members and continuing to apply gas from the air knife to the media sheet until the set of rotational members asserts (250) tension on the media sheet.
