Abstract
Fusing both small and large image areas of dry resinous marking particles supported on the surface of a receiver member by irradiating the particles with energy to at least partially melt the particles at the interface between the particles and receiver member. Fusing is accomplished by directing the energy from an energy source toward the surface of the particle-supporting receiver member along a path having a major low-angle component relative to the receiver member. The particles are irradiated over a substantial portion of their surface area, with energy which is not reflected by the receiver member and with energy which has been reflected by the receiver member. A sufficient amount of energy is thus received to at least partially melt the particles at the interface between the particles and receiver member so that the particles adhere to the receiver member.
