    摘要: Apparatus that forms an image according to image information includes density sensors that detect image density variations in main and sub-scanning directions. A processing device generates correction data for correcting a light source output to suppress the density variations based on detection results. The processing device modifies the correction data such that the light source output after the correction is at least a minimum rated output at a position at which the output after the correction is lower than the minimum rated output, in the relation between a position on the surface of the photosensitive element in the main-scanning direction and the output after the correction, and modifies the correction data such that the light source output after the correction is at most a maximum rated output at a position at which the output after the correction is higher than the maximum rated output.

    摘要: An output device is disclosed that includes an impedance matching section including an impedance adjustment section, and a dummy circuit section having the same configuration as the impedance adjustment section and adapted to calculate an adjustment value for matching an output impedance to a characteristic impedance of the transmission line. The impedance matching section sets the adjustment value to an impedance adjustment section, thereby matching the output impedance to the characteristic impedance. The output device further includes a switching transistor configured to be turned on/off so as to switch the output between an H level and an L level, and a constant current driver configured to add a constant current to the output.

    摘要: An optical scan device having an optical deflector reflecting a light beam from a light beam source so as to deflect the light beam and having a surface to be scanned on which information is written such that the light beam deflected by the deflector scans the surface is disclosed. Optical detectors are arranged at least in two locations, a start side of writing and an end side of writing, which locations are outside an effective writing area. A measuring part measures a scan time required by the light beam deflected by the optical deflector to scan a range between the optical detectors. A correcting part corrects each dot position of image data in the effective writing area to an arbitrary position based on a variation amount of the measured scan time.
