An attachment mechanism of an optical scanning device includes a frame body provided with a supporting base having engaging parts; and a position fixing member arranged between the optical scanning device and the supporting base to have an erection plate, a first supporting plate and a second supporting plate. The first or second supporting plate includes a fitted hole fitting with a positioning boss of the optical scanning device. The first and second supporting plates respectively include first engaged parts and second engaged parts. The position fixing member is attached to the supporting base by engaging one of the first engaged parts and one of the second engaged parts with the engaging parts. The position fixing member changes a plane position of the fitted hole by engaging positions of the engaging parts with the first and second engaged parts and changes a height of the fitted hole by inverting.

Provided is an image forming apparatus that performs smoothing in conversion of pseudo high resolution without using a large translation table. A smoothing process part performs smoothing based on a density of a peripheral pixel that adjoins a target pixel on edge. When a density change between both sides of the target pixel in a sub scanning direction is larger than a density change between both sides of the target pixel in a main scanning direction, a density of a plurality of pixels after conversion of pseudo high resolution of a sub scanning direction corresponding to the target pixel is mutually changed. Also, when a density change between both sides of target pixel in the sub scanning direction is not larger than a density change between both sides of the target pixel in the main scanning direction, the density set to the same.

An optical-writing-head positioner includes a spacer disposed between a latent image bearer to bear a latent image and an optical writing head to expose the latent image bearer to light to form a latent image on a surface of the latent image bearer. The spacer positions the optical writing head with respect to the latent image bearer. The spacer includes plural contact faces with the latent image bearer in an axial direction of the latent image bearer. The plural contact faces include a contact face having an arc with a radius of curvature equal to or less than a radius of the latent image bearer and one of the a contact face having an arc with a radius of curvature greater than the radius of the latent image bearer and a flat contact face to contact the surface of the latent image bearer.

A setting jig to which a housing is set is prepared, a light diameter detection sensor for detecting a light diameter of light beam is arranged, instead of a photosensitive drum, at a position corresponding to a part at which the light beam is scanned on the photosensitive drum, the housing is set to the setting jig, an adhesive is coated on a lens fixing surface of the housing, a collimator lens is grasped by a grasping member to adjust a position of the collimator lens, and the adhesive coated on the lens fixing surface is hardened. When the housing is set to the setting jig, the housing is obliquely arranged such that the light diameter detection sensor does not interfere with the grasping member. The lens fixing surface is formed to be horizontal in a state in which the housing has been set to the setting jig.

An image forming apparatus forms an image by exposing an image bearer on the basis of image data including at least one predetermined pattern. The image forming apparatus includes a processing device that sets an exposure amount of a plurality of exposure pixels. The predetermined pattern is constituted by the plurality of exposure pixels, and a peripheral region of the predetermined pattern in the image data is constituted by a plurality of non-exposure pixels. The processing device sets an exposure amount of an exposure pixel in a specific region that is adjacent to a boundary between the predetermined pattern and the peripheral region and is constituted by at least one exposure pixel in the predetermined pattern, and an exposure amount of an exposure pixel in a region other than the specific region in the predetermined pattern to values different from each other.

An optical scanning device includes a first aperture and an adjustment mechanism. The first aperture includes a first opening portion and a first cut portion. The first opening portion restricts a beam path width of a laser beam emitted from a light source. A first blocking member that blocks the laser beam is inserted in a detachable manner in the first cut portion in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the first opening portion, at a predetermined position of the first cut portion. The adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust a fixed state of the first aperture.

An optical scanning device includes: a common optical deflector that deflects light beams from light source devices; and a scanning optical system that focuses the deflected light beams on different scanning surfaces. All the light beams from the light source devices are incident on the optical deflector in directions oblique to a normal line of the scanning surfaces in a main-scanning cross section and to a normal line of a deflecting reflection plane of the optical deflector in a sub-scanning cross section. The scanning optical system includes individual lenses which are individually arranged for the respective light beams and have a plane shape symmetric in the main-scanning direction and satisfies a predetermined condition, and an optical axis of the individual lens is arranged obliquely to the normal line of the scanning surface in the main-scanning cross section so as to satisfy a predetermined condition.
