Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a fuser configured to fuse printing paper where a toner has been developed; and a fuser driver configured to provide power being provided from an external AC to a heating element inside the fuser so that the fuser has a predetermined temperature, wherein, in response to an operational state of the image forming apparatus being at a waiting state, the fuser driver performs a phase control on the power being provided to the heating element using AC power of sections other than a phase angle of a range predetermined based on a peak voltage value of the external AC power.
