    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a rotary developer unit having a developing roll opposed to the image carrier when located at a developing position and an exposure device for writing a latent image onto the image carrier, wherein an optical path from the exposure device to the image carrier passes within a circumscribed circle of the developing roll with the center of rotation of the rotary developer unit as the center of the circle. The image carrier is located so as to provide the developing position above a horizontal line passing the center of rotation of the rotary developer unit, and the exposure device is located so as to provide a beam exit position below the horizontal line.

    摘要: The optical scanning device of the present invention which handles plural light beams reduces the number of the optical components to the minimum, and thereby intends to reduce the cost, shrink the size, and secure high performance. The optical scanning device of the present invention minimizes the number of deflectors that deflect light beams with a constant angular velocity in a direction corresponding to the main scanning direction to one, and also minimizes the number of polygon mirrors included in the deflector and the number of rotation drive units of the polygon mirror each to one. Further, the device makes up two f&thgr; lens systems for converging the light beams into a specific size and scanning the beam spots with a substantially constant speed with two pairs of the f&thgr; lenses each, and disposes the f&thgr; lens systems on the both sides of the deflector. Two light beams each fall on and go out from the f&thgr; lens systems, and the deflector performs the main scanning of these four light beams.

    摘要: A light scanning device deflects a plurality of light beams by a deflecting means performs divided scanning on a single scanning line on a photoconductor with the plurality of deflected light beams. When the scanning line is scanned, a detecting means detects a light beam passing through a predetermined position in front of a position where the light beam first strikes an image forming range on the photoconductor. An oscillating means oscillates a specified number of clocks in a time interval from when the light beam is detected by the detecting means until it is detected thereby again. An adjusting means makes adjustments so as to irradiate a plurality of light beams based on clocks oscillated by the oscillating means. In a time interval after the light beam is detected by the detecting means until it is detected thereby again, a plurality of light beams are irradiated based on the specified number of clocks. Therefore, even if unevenness occurs in the deflecting speed of the deflecting means, dots can be formed at the same intervals in scanning a plurality of scanning lines. Thus, it is possible to prevent discontinuous joints occurring in each of the images formed with a plurality of light beams.
