The Xerox 490/980 employs dry toner, xerographic imaging and flash-fusing technology—a process that does not use heat or pressure or make contact with the paper, allowing the device to print on a much wider array of substrates.

Non-contact flash-fusing fuses the image using high-intensity xenon lamps instead of the conventional method that uses heat and pressure to adhere an image to the paper. Flash fusing only heats the toner; there is no direct heat or pressure contact with the substrate.
