    Abstract: An example fuser includes a flexible fusing belt, a backup member located outside the fusing belt to form a fusing nip with the fusing belt, a heater substrate having a first surface including a heating element pattern and a second surface, opposite to the first surface, to heat the fusing belt in the fusing nip, and a heat conduction member in contact with the first surface of the heater substrate to distribute the heat of the heater substrate. The heating element pattern includes a first heating element having a first length greater than a width of a first print medium, and a second heating element having a second length greater than a width of a second print medium and greater than the first length.

    Abstract: A heater for a fuser includes a substrate, a first pair of heating elements provided on the substrate, and a second pair of heating elements provided on the substrate. The first pair of heating elements and the second pair of heating elements extend in a length direction of the substrate. The second pair of heating elements is provided between one heating element among the first pair of heating elements and the other heating element among the first pair of heating elements. A distance between the heating elements of the second pair of heating elements is greater than or equal to a value obtained by adding widths of each of the first pair of heating elements and the second pair of heating elements at a center in the length direction of each of the heating elements from the first and second pairs of heating elements.
