    摘要: In a printer head constituted by a large number of linearly arranged LEDs, a lighting time designator receives image data at a period corresponding to one scanning period, designates a lighting time of each LED within one scanning period in accordance with image data corresponding to each LED and the lighting capacity of each LED, and outputs lighting time data. A lighting mode designator determines a lighting mode for designating a timing, within one scanning period, at which each LED is caused to emit light, on the basis of image data, and outputs lighting mode designation data. A light timing controller divides one scanning period into a plurality of time intervals and supplies the lighting time data to the printer head a plurality of number of times within one scanning period at the time intervals on the basis of the lighting mode designation data, thereby selectively causing the respective LEDs to emit light.

    摘要: In a digital copying machine using a multi-beam optical system, a light beam position detector situated on a line extended from the surface of a photosensitive drum detects the passing position of each light beam scanned by a polygon mirror rotated by a polygon motor. A CPU calculates control amounts for galvanomirrors by using a beam position detector output processor, on the basis of the detection result of the beam position detector. Based on the calculated control amounts, galvanomirror drive circuits drive the galvanomirrors, thereby to control the positions of the beams in a sub-scan direction. The passing positions of the beams can be precisely detected with no special precision in assembling the optical system. In addition, the positions of the beams in the sub-scan direction can be controlled at predetermined positions, even if some change occurs in the structure of the optical system due to a variation in ambience or a variation with the passing of time.

    摘要: There is provided an image forming apparatus which can implement digital control of a laser beam scan (analog amount) that moves at high speed, without using any high-speed, multi-bit A/D converter. Upon executing a digital process on the basis of analog detection value Vo corresponding to the passage position or light beam power of a light beam with which a photosensitive drum is irradiated, comparator CMP0, comparison reference value (threshold value) Vr of which changes in correspondence with detection value (integration output) Vo, is used. New comparison reference value Vr is supplied to comparator CMP0 on the basis of digital data BMDA corresponding to output CMPOUT of this comparator.

    摘要: A light beam is made to scan and expose a photosensitive drum in the main scanning direction and the passing position of the light beam in the sub-scanning direction is sensed. On the basis of the result of the sensing, the light beam is shifted in the sub-scanning direction when the beam is made to scan by a scanner so that the passing position may come in a target range, which brings the passing position to the proper position. After the position control, the passing position of the light beam is confirmed and controlled so that the passing position may fall on the proper position a specific number of times consecutively. When the light beam is shifted in the sub-scanning direction, the passing position of the light beam is brought into a final target range in such a manner that the target range is forced to converge stepwise in a first range and then in a second range narrower than the first range.
