Abstract: An image forming apparatus and method includes a controller (30) to set a reference fusing temperature according to the print pattern of an input image received from an image input unit (10). The input image is converted to bitmap data to recognize the print pattern. The reference fusing temperature is set higher as the transition rate of the converted bitmap data increases. When printing an image whose print pattern has a low transition rate, the apparatus reduces the time required to print the first page of the image, thereby improving the print speed over the conventional apparatus.

Abstract: The optical path of the light having spread at each point of an object to be shot is limited by an iris unit (22a) of a density filter (22). Since the density filter unit (22b) has a desired transmittance characteristic, the amount of the light passing through the density filter unit (22b) continuously changes from the center of the luminous flux toward the periphery. After the luminous flux forms an image on the image forming surface, it spreads toward the light-receptive surface of an image sensor (24), and becomes an image spreading on the light-receptive surface in a predetermined range.
