1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a feeding unit configured to feed a recording medium into the image forming apparatus; an image forming unit configured to form an image on the recording medium; a fuser configured to fuse the image formed on the recording medium; a discharging unit configured to discharge the recording medium out of the image forming apparatus; a motor including
a rotor including at least one pair of permanent magnets, anda Hall sensor that outputs a signal indicative of positions of the permanent magnets; and a controller configured to drive the motor based on the signal output by the Hall sensor, to thereby rotate the rotor and thereby drive at least one of the feeding unit, the image forming unit, the fuser, and the discharging unit.
