マルチビーム光走査装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4497577
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A multibeam scanning apparatus having a light source with multiple light emitting sections arranged at intervals in the sub-scanning direction, a light deflector for deflecting light beams emitted from the light emitting sections, and a photosensitive drum to be scanned in the main-scanning direction by the deflected light beams. The deflected light beams strike the photosensitive drum with an angle of inclination relative to the normal of the surface of the photosensitive drum as viewed in the sub-scanning direction in order to scan the drum at predetermined intervals. The intervals between the light beams are selected to be smaller than the predetermined intervals based on the angle of inclination.
