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 11):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 10 ,\n wherein the input image data includes multi-valued data that indicates density of an image, and wherein the controller includes an image processing unit that executes conversion processing that the input image data is converted into the drive signal, a signal generation unit that generates the drive signal the duty ratio of which is 100%, and a selector that selectively transmits, to the driving unit, the drive signal generated by the image processing unit or the drive signal generated by the signal generation unit.
