Abstract:
A laser scanning device includes a light source, a rotary polytope, a motor, a bearing, and a detection processing portion. The rotary polytope scans light emitted from the light source. The motor rotates the rotary polytope. The bearing rotatably supports a rotation shaft of the motor. The detection processing portion, in a case where the motor is driven at a first speed that is higher than a predetermined reference speed, performs detection of an abnormal state based on an atmospheric temperature detected at a position located within a predetermined first range from the bearing, and in a case where the motor is driven at a second speed that is lower than the reference speed, does not perform the detection of the abnormal state, wherein the abnormal state is a state where the temperature of the bearing has exceeded a predetermined allowable temperature.

Claim (Index 12):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 4 , further comprising:\n a developing portion having a developing roller configured to supply toner to an image carrier, and configured to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on the image carrier; a temperature sensor disposed at a position located within the first range from the bearing and between the laser scanning device and the developing portion, and configured to detect a temperature at the position where the temperature sensor is disposed; and a setting processing portion configured to set a voltage to be applied to the developing roller, based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor, wherein the detection processing portion performs detection of the abnormal state based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor.
