    Abstract: In a photosensitive member and a developing portion are in a separation state and in a start-up period, a first light emission is performed in an image region and a non-image region; when light is detected at least twice during a period when the first light emission is being performed, a second light emission is performed in the non-image region; when a prescribed period of time has elapsed from the start of the second light emission, a third light emission is performed in the image region in a third light emission amount that is smaller than a second light emission amount during a period in which the photosensitive member makes at least one revolution; and, after the third light emission is performed, the photosensitive member and the developing portion are switched to a contact state.

    Abstract: An apparatus has a detection unit, a rotating polygonal mirror and a generation unit. The rotating polygonal mirror has reflecting surfaces and configured to deflect light. The detection unit outputs a first signal in accordance with detecting the light. The generation unit, based on the first signal, generates a second signal which is a main scanning synchronization signal for controlling a write start in a main scanning direction. The second signal has a first waveform and a second waveform. The first waveform does not correspond to a reference reflection surface. The second waveform corresponds to the reference reflection surface and is different to the first waveform.
