Abstract:
In an information processing apparatus connected to an image forming apparatus including an image forming unit, the image forming unit includes a first receptor, a light source, a photosensitive member, a rotary polygon mirror, a light receptor, and a first output unit configured to stops outputting a predetermined signal after the image data for one surface of a recording medium is output, and resumes outputting the predetermined signal in response to the timing when image formation for one surface of a subsequent recording medium is started. The information processing apparatus includes a second receptor, a memory, a determiner configured to, determine a reflection surface based on information stored in the memory, a corrector configured to correct the image data, and a second output unit configured to, in response to start of receiving the predetermined signal, start outputting the image data.

Claim (Index 10):
An image forming apparatus including a generator which generates image data and an image forming unit which forms an image on a recording medium based on the image data output from the generator, the image forming unit comprising:\n a first receptor configured to receive image data; a light source configured to output light based on the image data received by the first receptor; a photosensitive member; a rotary polygon mirror having a plurality of reflection surfaces, configured to rotate to deflect the light output from the light source by using a plurality of the reflection surfaces to scan the photosensitive member; a light receptor configured to receive the light deflected by the rotary polygon mirror; and a first output unit configured to output a predetermined signal upon reception of the light by the light receptor in a time period during which the light based on the image data input to the first receptor is output from the light source, stop outputting the predetermined signal after the image data for one surface of a recording medium is output, and resume outputting the predetermined signal at the timing when image formation for one surface of a subsequent recording medium following image formation for the one surface of the recording medium is started, the predetermined signal indicating a time interval since the time when the light receptor receives the light to be deflected by a first reflection surface out of a plurality of the reflection surfaces till the time when the light receptor receives the light to be deflected by a second reflection surface which is on the upstream side of the first reflection surface in the rotational direction of the rotary polygon mirror and adjacent to the first reflection surface, and the generator comprising: a second receptor configured to receive the predetermined signal output from the first output unit; a memory configured to store information about time intervals each corresponding to a different one of the plurality of reflection surfaces; a determiner configured to, in a time period during which the predetermined signal is not input to the second receptor, determine a reflection surface by which the light for scanning the photosensitive member is to be deflected, based on the information stored in the memory; a corrector configured to correct the image data based on the correction data corresponding to the reflection surface determined by the determiner; and a second output unit configured to, in response to start of receiving the predetermined signal from the first output unit, start outputting image data to the image forming unit, the image data having been corrected by the corrector and being for the one surface of the subsequent recording medium.
