A laser imaging apparatus is provided with a laser source, a relaying optical system, a deflector having at least one deflecting surface, an imaging optical system that converges the laser beam to form a beam spot on a surface to be scanned. An optical axis of the relaying optical system and an optical axis of the imaging optical system intersect at a deflection reference point which is located in the vicinity of a deflecting surface on which the laser beam is incident. The laser imaging apparatus further includes first and second adjusting systems that compensates for an inclination error and a positional error of the laser beam incident on the deflecting surface, respectively. The first and second adjusting systems are provided in the relaying optical system.
