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.
