Abstract (en)

[origin: US2003030718A1] An image forming apparatus includes at least one image forming mechanism configured to form an image based on image data. Each image forming mechanism includes an optical system, a sensor, an electronic circuit, and a controller. The optical system scans a photosensitive member with a light beam based on image data. The sensor detects the light beam and the electronic circuit stores a correction data table containing light amount data of the light source and corresponding start position shift amount data. The controller controls a light amount of the light source and adjusts a start position of image recording on the photosensitive member in accordance with a sync detect signal. The controller includes a write start position correction unit that adjust the start position of the image recording based on a start position shift amount data when the light amount varies.
