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 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein the controller controls, in order that there is a period in which light emission of the plurality of light emitting units for discharging the photoconductive drums that are arranged so as to be adjacent to each other is performed at a same time, the output timings of the drive signals for performing the discharging.
