Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a photosensitive member; a scan unit configured to scan the photosensitive member with light based on image data, and form a latent image on the photosensitive member; a developing unit configured to form an image on the photosensitive member by attaching toner to the latent image formed on the photosensitive member; and a correction unit configured to correct an exposure amount of the photosensitive member such that a density change of the image in a main scanning direction due to a configuration of the scan unit and a density of the image to be formed is reduced.

Claim (Index 23):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 18 ,\n wherein the developing unit is configured such that a developing sleeve for attaching the toner to the latent image on the photosensitive member does not come into contact with the photosensitive member, and the correction unit is further configured to correct a light emission intensity of a light source that emits the light such that a density change in the main scanning direction caused by nonuniformity in distance between the developing sleeve and the photosensitive member in the main scanning direction is reduced.
