    摘要: A scanner includes: an acquiring unit that acquires determination result information based on a determination result of whether a target dot of a target pixel of a plurality of pixels constituting image data is a first dot or a second dot; a light source control unit that, if the target dot is the first dot, causes a light source to emit a light beam during a corrected lighting time with a light source characteristic time based on a characteristic of the light source being added to a predetermined lighting time that is preliminarily determined with respect to the target dot, and if the target dot is the second dot, causes the light source to emit a light beam during the predetermined lighting time; and a deflecting unit that deflects the light beam in the main scanning direction.

    摘要: An image-forming apparatus includes a first opened/closed signal generation unit for generating a first opened/closed signal indicating an opened/closed state of the open/close member by using polling detection; a second opened/closed signal generation unit for generating a second opened/closed signal in which a state indicating the opened state of the open/close member is latched when a second signal via the switch is cut off; and a power-supply failure detection unit for detecting a power-supply failure based on the first and/or second opened/closed signals. The second opened/closed signal indicates in an initial state the closed state of the open/close member, and is returned to the initial state by an initialization command, and the power-supply failure detection unit detects the power-supply failure based on the second opened/closed signal during an image forming period, and based on the first and second opened/closed signals during a period other than the image forming period.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus is provided. The image forming apparatus includes a light source including a plurality of light emitting units to emit light corresponding to image data, and a light source controller to independently control lighting of each one of the light emitting units. The light source controller switches activation and deactivation of one or more of the light emitting units when the number of to-be-used light emitting units is smaller than the total number of the light emitting units included in the light source.
