    Abstract: Provided is an image reading apparatus configured to recognize edge portions of an image of an original precisely without being influenced by the varying state of the four sides of the original. The image reading apparatus includes an image reading unit configured to read the original image by scanning the original, an edge determining unit configured to determine first edge locations at the left end and right end of the original image in a main scanning direction, an edge detector configured to detect a second edge location of the original image in a sub-scanning direction, a tilt expression calculator configured to calculate a linear expression that represents the amount of inclination of the original image with respect to the main scanning direction.

    Abstract: An image reading apparatus capable of recognizing edge portions of an original image with precision is provided. The image reading apparatus uses an image reading unit to scan an original being conveyed and read an image of the original. The image reading apparatus includes an edge information obtaining unit and an edge determining unit. The edge information obtaining unit detects an image of an edge portion of the original image and obtains, for each point in a main scanning direction, edge information, which indicates whether or not an edge portion image is detected at the point in a sub-scanning direction. The edge determining unit conducts detection from at least one of two directions of the main scanning direction to detect a point where a given number of successive edge portion images are detected, and obtains an edge portion based on the detected point.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus including: a photosensitive member; a charging unit; a light scanning apparatus configured to emit a light beam to scan the photosensitive member to form a latent image; and a developing unit configure to develop the latent image. The light scanning apparatus includes a light source, a rotary polygon mirror, a light receiving unit, and a signal generating unit. An incident timing when the light beam deflected by the polygon mirror enters the light receiving unit after the photosensitive member is charged by the charging unit and after a voltage is applied to a toner carrying member by the developing unit is identified based on the number of second signals generated by the signal generating unit between the first signal and the first signal generated by the light receiving unit before the photosensitive member is charged and before the voltage is applied to the toner carrying member.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an exposure head having an odd number of chips in each of which a plurality of light emitting elements configured to expose a photosensitive member are arrayed at intervals corresponding to a first resolution in an intersecting direction intersecting with a rotation direction of the photosensitive member. An even number of chips of the odd number of chips are arranged on one side of the printed circuit board in the rotation direction, and a remaining odd number of chips of the odd number of chips are arranged on another side of the printed circuit board. A center of an intensity of a light amount of the odd number of chips in the rotation direction is shifted to a side of the even number of chips with respect to a center of the printed circuit board in the rotation direction.
