Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image carrying body, a driving unit which rotates the image carrying body in a medium supplying direction, a light scanning unit which comprises a light source and a beam deflecting unit to scan a light beam from the light source to and fro in a main scanning direction to form a scanning line having an image section and a non image section, and a controller which stops the driving unit if the light beam from the beam deflecting unit is on the image section, and drives the driving unit if the light beam is on the non image section.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for controlling an optical power level are provided. The apparatus includes a power supply unit supplying power in response to an exposure control signal corresponding to an input image signal and a light scanning unit driven using the power and irradiating light having optical power corresponding to an input sample-and-hold signal onto a photosensitive drum.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a revolution speed of a spindle motor in an optical disk drive. Target RPMs and actual PWM signal values for maintaining the target RPMs are calculated according to recording linear velocities of an optical disk, and stored in a memory. The spindle motor is controlled by a PWM signal value greater than an actual PWM signal value for maintaining a desired target RPM, until an RPM of the spindle motor reaches the target RPM. Further, the spindle motor is controlled by the actual PWM signal value for maintaining the target RPM, when the RPM of the spindle motor reaches the target RPM.
