Abstract
Apparatus for fixing toner images electrostatically adhered to copy paper or other suitable support material. The apparatus is characterized by the provision of a plurality of radiant energy sources through which the copy paper having the toner images thereon is moved such that the radiant heat energy softens the toner whereby the toner becomes impregnated in the paper fibers. The apparatus is further characterized by the provision of paper transport structure for moving the copy paper intermediate the radiant heat sources without physically contacting the sources, said transporting means comprising a first transport disposed adjacent the inlet to the fixing apparatus and a second transport disposed adjacent the outlet thereof.
