Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus that executes exposure for discharging a photoconductive drum by a light emitting unit by which an electrostatic latent image is formed, a duty ratio of a drive signal for a driving unit that exposes the photoconductive drum for performing discharging of the photoconductive drum is set to be 100%, and it is thereby possible to suppress generation of radiation noise resulting from the drive signal for the discharging.

Claim (Index 6):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n rotating polygon mirrors which deflect light emitted by the light emitting units so that surfaces of the photoconductive drums are scanned with the light, wherein the drive signal the duty ratio of which is 100% is supplied to the driving unit from the controller in a period in which at least an image formation region of the photoconductive drum is scanned.
