An improved fuser includes a heater which provides uniformity at the surface of a fuser roll that contacts an imaged sheet. The heater is configured to include a single resistive element shaped to heat multiple sheet sizes with independently controllable conductive traces connected to outer segments of the resistive element and adapted to supply electricity to separate sections of the resistive element in accordance with the size of sheet being fed through the fuser center registered and without the need for cold spot compensation.
