Abstract
A thermal processor for thermally developing an image in an imaging media. The thermal processor includes a drum processor and a flatbed processor. The drum processor forms an arcuate transport path and is configured to move the imaging media along an arcuate transport path. The flatbed processor forms a generally planar transport path and is configured to move the imaging media along a generally planar transport path. The flatbed processor is coupled to the drum processor such that the arcuate transport path and the generally planar transport path together form a processing path through the thermal processor along which the imaging media moves from the drum processor to the flatbed processor during development.
