In a copier or printer manufactured by the Xerox Corporation, the charge is placed on the photoreceptor by passing it under a charged wire. No flash is used for that purpose. Some copiers do use a flash lamp to illuminate the document to be copied, but that is quite a different thing from "spreading the charge."
How does a camera flash work?
With older cameras, flashbulbs or flash cubes were used. Then, strobes were developed that used a flash tube. This gave almost limitless flashes. These work by using a battery to charge a capacitor. When the voltage on the capacitor is high enough, it is fed to a xenon (or similar) flash tube, which then fires, giving a very short duration, high intensity flash. It then takes a small amount of time for the capacitor to recharge, before it is ready for the next flash. Some cameras use a dual flash, which has an LED flash as well as a xenon flash.
What is the origin of the phrase flash in the pan?
This phrase stems from the 'flintlock' small arms (hand-held weapons) of the 17th to 19th centuries. The ignition mechanism of these weapons involved a small quantity of gunpowder in a small dish (the 'pan') being ignited by sparks struck from a metal plate by a flint. This gunpowder would then send a flame through a small hole into the main charge that had been loaded into the barrel. Occasionally the main charge would not ignite following the burning of the gunpowder in the pan. Hence the phrase 'a flash in the pan' refers to short-lived activity that fails to lead to more substantial or sustained action.
What is a priming pan?
In a flint-lock firearm, the priming pan is where the spark from the flint ignites a small amount of gunpowder, which then ignites the main charge. If the firearm misfires, after having its primer ignited, you have a "flash in the pan."
