Abstract:
A lens unit (U15) includes a housing (45), an upper and a lower lens arrays (A1′, A2′), and a first and a second prisms (4A, 4B). Each of the lens arrays includes a plurality of lenses, a light-shielding member (4), and a plurality of positioning projections, all of which are integral with each other. Downwardly traveling light which enters the housing (45) through a first slit (45c) formed at an upper portion of the housing (45) is directed upward by the first prism (4A) to pass through the two lens arrays (A1′, A2′). The light is then directed downward by the second prism (4B) to exit the housing through a second slit (45d) formed at a lower portion of the housing (45).

An erecting equal-magnification lens array plate includes: a first lens array plate provided with a plurality of first lenses arranged on a first surface and a plurality of second lenses arranged on a second surface opposite to the first surface; and a second lens array plate provided with a plurality of third lenses arranged on a third surface and a plurality of fourth lenses arranged on a fourth surface opposite to the third surface. The first and second lens array plates form a stack such that the second surface and the third surface face each other. The erecting equal-magnification lens array plate receives light from a linear light source facing the first surface and forms an erect equal-magnification image of the linear light source on an image plane facing the fourth surface. An annular slope is formed around each second lens and each third lens.

Abstract:
A lens array 4 is formed as an erect 1:1 imaging lens by superimposing two lens plates 40 and 40 together. Each lens plate 40 consists of a number of micro lenses 41 which are regularly provided at a predetermined pitch and in a two-dimensional manner. This lens plate 40 is for example made by press molding the ultraviolet curing resin in a soft condition using a transparent mold and by irradiating the ultraviolet light on the ultraviolet curing resin from outside for hardening. Since the lens array 4 is provided with micro lenses 41 in rows in a sub-scanning direction, deterioration of an amount of light level resulting from the displacement between a light axis of the lens and an image sensor 6 is not generated.

Abstract:
To make it possible to improve a printing speed.When printing a plurality of printing sheets 14, it is possible to decrease the time for generating correction data by using a pair of correction data values to print the printing sheets 14. Therefore, it is possible to decrease the time for printing each printing sheet 14 even compared to the case of a method for generating correction data for each printing sheet 14. As a result, even when the number of sheets to be printed is large, it is possible to improve a printing speed. Moreover, when meandering states of the printing sheet 14 are changed, it is possible to prevent disorder of a printed image due to meandering of the printing sheet 14 for a long time by newly generating correction data. Furthermore, by generating (updating) only a part of correction data when newly generating the correction data, it is possible to decrease the time for generating the correction data and improve a printing speed.
