Abstract

An improved fuser includes a heater that enhances uniform heating by altering the localized resistance which alters the localized power output of a resistive trace at the point of contact with a conductor trace in order to provide extra heating and thereby compensate for heat loss at the resistive trace/conductor trace junction.
