Patent ID: 7813245

Claim:
An optical disk image forming device for forming an image on an optical disk which includes a data surface and a label surface and in which an information area and an image forming area are set, the optical image forming device comprising: a laser beam applying unit that performs a focus servo and applies a laser beam to the optical disk; an information reading unit that drives the laser beam applying unit and reads information from the information area; a discriminating unit that discriminates whether or not a reflection preventing process is applied to the image forming area in accordance with the read information; and a correcting unit that corrects at least one of a laser power and a focus gain in accordance with information about the image forming area including information about the reflection preventing process when the discriminating unit discriminates that the reflection preventing process is applied to the image forming area, wherein when the image is formed on the image forming area to which the reflection preventing process is applied, the laser beam applying unit applies the laser beam to the optical disk in accordance with at least one of the laser power and the focus gain corrected by the correcting unit to form the image on the image forming area.
