Abstract (en)
A fusing station (25) of an electrographic apparatus fixes in a single pass a duplex resinous powder colour image (8, 18) to a support material (9) as this is moved over a predetermined path (7) through the fusing station. A symmetrical fixing operation on both sides of the support material is provided. Hereto, the station comprises means for applying hot air to both sides of the support material, and hot air is heated by heating sources with substantially identical operational characteristics. Further, hot air is enforced in substantially equal flows (21, 31) to both sides of the support material and the flows of hot air are heated to substantially equal temperatures. <IMAGE>
