    摘要: In an image-forming apparatus, an optical scanning device that is adjustable in a turn available manner around a turn axis line parallel to an axis line orthogonal to a main scanning direction of a light beam is attached to an image-forming apparatus body. The image-forming apparatus body has a shaft support that supports the optical scanning device in a turn available manner around a turn axis line and a holder facing a housing at a position different from that of the shaft support. The optical scanning device is held by the image-forming apparatus body in a state in which an elastic member is sandwiched between the housing and the holder in a pressed manner.

    摘要: A CPU is provided which controls a first light emission state in which a light source is controlled to emit a light beam to scan a full-scanning region and a second light emission state in which the light source is controlled to emit a light beam to scan a non-image region in a period from start of activation of a scanning motor to when the number of rotations of the scanning motor reaches a target number of rotations. The CPU acquires BD cycle values of BD signals generated by a main-scanning synchronization sensor, determines a second timing for changing from the first light emission state to the second light emission state on the basis of the two serial BD cycle values, and changes the semiconductor laser from the first light emission state to the second light emission state according to the second timing.

    摘要: An optical scanning device includes plural light sources, a light deflector including a deflecting-reflecting surface, and a scanning optical system including plural folding mirrors and plural scanning lenses, wherein the plural scanning lenses have the same shape, at least one of an optical surface at the incidence side and an optical surface at the emission side has an asymmetric shape with respect to a sub-scanning direction, and has an asymmetric shape in the sub-scanning direction with respect to the main scanning direction, and a difference in a number of folding mirrors disposed between the corresponding scanning lens and the light deflector between light incident on the light deflector from a direction inclined to one side relative to a virtual surface including a normal line of the deflecting-reflecting surface and light incident on the light deflector from a direction inclined to the other side is an odd number.
