Abstract:
An exposure device includes a predetermined number of light emitting elements. A sheet setting unit accepts a user setting of the sheet on which the image is to be formed. The sheet on which the image is to be formed includes at least a first sheet and a second sheet different from the first sheet. The first sheet is a maximum sheet which can be used by the image forming apparatus. A controller determines a width of a margin based on the user setting of the sheet on which the image is to be formed. The margin is a region provided on each of both sides of the direction orthogonal to the sheet and on which the image is not formed. The controller forms the image on the sheet set by the user by controlling the exposure device according to the determined margin width.

Claim (Index 7):
The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n when the first margin width is set based on the user setting, the controller is configured to determine the first margin width as the margin set for the first sheet; when the second margin width is set based on the user setting, the controller is configured to compare an image formation width obtained by subtracting the second margin width from the sheet width of the sheet set by the controller with the effective writing width; when the image formation width is smaller than the effective writing width, the controller is configured to determine the second margin width set based on the user setting as the margin of the sheet set by the controller; and when the image formation width is equal to or larger than the effective writing width, the controller is configured to determine the first margin width stored in the memory as the margin of the sheet set by the controller, regardless of the second margin width set based on the user setting.
