An image generating apparatus is provided which can maximize the throughput without causing thermal damage of the fusing components. An example of such a fluid dispenser includes a member configured to define a plurality of orifices through which a fluid is ejected and a manifold including a plurality of fluid passageways each of which is configured to have a different angle relative to the member. The one or more passages may include a retaining portion elevated above portions of the fluid accumulator andor the hydraulic valve actuator.
