Abstract: A reflection sensor includes the following elements. A light emitting unit emits light to an area of an image forming apparatus where first detection images of plural colors used for detecting amounts of their misregistration are formed. A first light restricting member/configuration restricts light emitted from the light emitting unit. A light receiver is disposed in an optical path of regular reflection light, and receives reflected light and outputs a signal representing an amount of received light. A second light restricting member/configuration is disposed in the optical path of the regular reflection light and restricts light to be received by the light receiver. The value obtained by dividing a diameter of the first light restricting member/configuration by that of the second light restricting member/configuration ranges from substantially 0.5 to 1.9, and the diameters of the first and second light restricting members/configurations are each 1.5 mm or smaller.

Abstract: An optical scanning device which forms a plurality of scanning lines in parallel in a main scanning direction on a photosensitive member by a plurality of laser beams detects the curvature values in the sub-scanning direction of the scanning lines, and corrects a curvature value in the sub-scanning direction corresponding to each of the scanning lines. When detecting the curvature value, the optical scanning device detects the curvature values in the sub-scanning direction of two scanning lines, and calculates the curvature value in the sub-scanning direction of a scanning line between the two scanning lines based on the detected curvature values in the sub-scanning direction of the two scanning lines. With this arrangement, the curvatures in the sub-scanning direction of scanning lines are corrected effectively with high accuracy for all laser beams in a multi-beam optical scanning device using a VCSEL or the like.

Abstract: A high-quality image forming apparatus that is capable of accurately adjusting the size and position of an image during image formation on a second surface of a transfer material, even when there has been expansion/contraction of the transfer material due to thermal fixing after image formation on a first surface thereof, to thereby avoid image displacement during two-sided image formation and multiple image formation. A pulse adjusting section sets a second number of pulses of the image clock corresponding to a distance from BD signal detector to the write start position of the latent image during image formation on the second surface, to a number of pulses different from a first number of pulses of the image clock corresponding to a distance from the horizontal synchronization signal detecting device to the write start position of the latent image during image formation on the first surface, based on the first number of pulses of the image clock during image formation on the first surface, in accordance with an expansion/contraction ratio of the transfer material after fixing of the image on the first surface.
