Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a housing in which a light source, a laser scanning member, a light detecting portion configured to detect light incident on a predetermined position in a scanning path of the light scanned by the laser scanning member, and a scanning lens configured to cause the light scanned by the laser scanning member to be scanned at an equal speed on an image carrier, are disposed; a temperature gradient detecting portion, configured to detect a temperature gradient of the housing, a heater configured to heat the image carrier or a sheet; and a correction processing portion configured to correct the emission start timing based on the temperature detected by the temperature gradient detecting portion, and a predetermined expression, and change content of the expression based on an operation state of the heater at a start of an image formation process.

Claim (Index 7):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 3 , comprising:\n a plurality of image forming units; a plurality of the scanning lenses corresponding to the plurality of image forming units; and a plurality of the light detecting portions corresponding to the plurality of image forming units, wherein the first temperature detecting portion detects a temperature of any of the plurality of the scanning lenses, the second temperature detecting portion detects a temperature of any of the plurality of light detecting portions, and the correction processing portion corrects the emission start timing in each of the plurality of image forming units based on the temperatures detected by the first temperature detecting portion and the second temperature detecting portion, and the expression.
