    Abstract: An image is accurately recorded by a light beam on a PS plate wound on a drum which is rotating at a constant speed. A rotary encoder detects information of a recording position in a main scanning direction by the light beam that is emitted from an optical unit to the PS plate. Based on the detected information, a PLL circuit of a recording synchronizing signal generating unit generates an original clock. Pulses of the original clock are counted by a decimating counter, which outputs a decimating instruction to decimate a pulse from the original clock each time the count reaches a preset count. Based on the decimating instruction, a pulse is decimated from the original clock, and a decimated clock is frequency-divided at a fixed frequency-dividing ratio by a frequency divider, which outputs a pixel clock for recording the image. Since the frequency of the pixel clock is varied by decimating the original clock based on the preset count, the image can accurately be recorded on the PS plate by determining in advance the preset count depending on the positional relationship between the PS plate and the optical unit.

    Abstract: A memory read control unit (606) reads out image data of one pixel from a memory (603) in synchronism with a clock signal. On the basis of the image data of one pixel, a converting unit (604) converts the density of a corresponding pixel into digital data of a plurality of bits and stores the digital data in a shift register (606). A pixel-piece insertion and deletion control unit (607) inserts data of one bit into the shift register or deletes data of one bit from the shift register. The pixel-piece insertion and deletion control unit (607) estimates a data storing state in the shift register and controls image data read-out from the memory (603) in accordance with the estimated data storing state.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a light generator (e.g., laser) generating a scanning light beam and a driver driving the light generator depending on a drive signal to be provided. In this apparatus, data formed of image information at each pixel of each line along a main scan direction of an image to be targeted are distributed into a plurality of strings (i.e., channels) of data (e.g., two strings). Concerning each pixel provided by data in each string, information indicative of both a start and an end of modulation (e.g., PWM) is then produced. By using the start and end information, a modulator performs modulation depending on the data of each pixel in each string, providing a modulated signal. The modulated signals from the plural strings are mutually synthesized at synchronizes timings, being provided as the drive signal and given to the driver.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a latent image carrier that includes an effective image region which has a predetermined width along a main scanning direction; a latent image forming unit that has a structure in which a deflection mirror surface makes a light beam scan in a second scan region which is wider than a first scan region which corresponds to the effective image region, that modulates the light beam in accordance with an image signal within the range of the first scan region for every scanning cycle, and that guides the modulated light beam onto the effective image region, thereby forming a line latent image which corresponds to the image signal; an optical sensor that detects a scanning light beam, which moves outside the first scan region within the second scan region, to output a signal; and a write timing adjuster that controls the timing of start modulating the light beam and accordingly adjusts a write start position for start writing a latent image along the main scanning direction, based on a time difference between a first detection signal, which the optical sensor outputs as a first light beam scanning away from the effective image region moves passed the optical sensor, and a second detection signal, which the optical sensor outputs after outputting the first detection signal when a second light beam scanning toward the effective image region moves passed the optical sensor.
