Abstract:
An image forming apparatus comprises a fuser to fuse a print sheet having a surface on which toner is developed, the fuser including a heating element, and a controller to control a number of waveforms of an alternating current (AC) power to be supplied to the heating element, within a control cycle to control the fuser to fuse the print sheet at a target temperature and to vary the control cycle, according to a temperature of the fuser.

Claim (Index 3):
The image forming apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the controller is to:\n determine a conduction duty and a cycle to which the conduction duty is to be applied, based on the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor, and supply the AC power to the heating element based on the determined conduction duty and the determined cycle.
