Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0629930A2] An electrostatographic printer includes an imaging station (A, B, C, D, E) for forming a latent electrostatic image on the surface of a drum (24), a toner development station (32) for developing the latent image to form a toner image, and a toner transfer station (34) for transferring the toner image onto a moving web. An image-fixing station (16) for fixing the toner image on the web comprises two pairs of radiant heat sources (92), the peak energy output wavelength of which lies in the non-visible part of the spectrum. The radiant sources (92) may be located in hingedly mounted pairs of housings (80, 81, 82, 83) in such a manner that the housings may be moved into a closed position to shield the radiant sources (92) from the web when the speed of movement of the web falls below a predetermined value. Damage to the web when movement thereof stops is thereby avoided. <IMAGE>
