HIGH EFFICIENCY NON-CAVITY RADIANT METHOD AND APPARATUS Flash fusing method and apparatus for fusing toner images onto flexible support material in which the support material is transported in a cylindrical path encircling the flash fusing lamp. The support material is a web or alternatively is in the form of copy sheets tacked onto a transport belt either by electrostatic tacking or by a vacuum transport and then advanced in a circular path around the flash with the toner images facing the flash lamp and receiving a uniform radiation therefrom.
