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 19):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the generating the driving signal further comprises:\n generating the driving signal to control the number of waveforms of the AC power to be supplied to the heating element within the control cycle that is varied to be a first control cycle, in response to the temperature of the fuser being in a first temperature range, and generating the driving signal to control the number of waveforms of an AC power to be supplied to the heating element within the control cycle that is varied to be a second control cycle shorter than the first control cycle, in response to the temperature of the fuser being in a second temperature range higher than the first temperature range.
