Claim Text:
1. An optical writing controller that controls emission of alight source device including multiple light emitting element rows each constituted by multiple light emitting elements arranged in a sub-scanning direction to form an electrostatic latent image on a photoconductor, the optical writing controller comprising: an image information acquisition unit configured to acquire image information that is information on an image to be formed as the electrostatic latent image; a light source control unit configured to sequentially control emission of the multiple light emitting elements arranged in the sub-scanning direction on the basis of information on pixels generated on the basis of the acquired image information; an error information acquisition unit configured to acquire information indicating an error of a direction in which the light emitting elements are arranged with respect to the sub-scanning direction; and an adjustment value generation unit configured to generate an adjustment value for adjusting a light quantity of each of the light emitting elements on the basis of the error of the direction in which the light emitting elements are arranged with respect to the sub-scanning direction.
