Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a light scanning apparatus, including: forming an optical box having a plurality of protrusions arranged along a longitudinal direction of a reflection mirror and provided at positions corresponding to one end side and the other end side of the reflection mirror in the longitudinal direction, respectively; processing protrusions except protrusions that are used for supporting the reflection mirror so that the protrusions except the protrusions that are used for supporting the reflection mirror on the one end side and on the other end side of the reflection mirror are out of contact with the reflection mirror; placing the reflection mirror on the protrusions that have not been processed in the processing; and fixing the reflection mirror, which has been placed on the protrusions that have not been processed in the placing, to the optical box.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of manufacturing a light scanning apparatus which comprises a light source, a rotary polygon mirror configured to deflect a light beam emitted from the light source, a reflection mirror configured to guide the light beam deflected by the rotary polygon mirror onto a photosensitive member, and an optical box to which the light source, the rotary polygon mirror and the reflection mirror are attached, the method comprising:\n forming the optical box,\n wherein the optical box which is formed by the forming has a plurality of protrusions arranged along a longitudinal direction of the reflection mirror, and \n wherein the plurality of protrusions are provided at positions corresponding to one end side of the reflection mirror in the longitudinal direction of the reflection mirror which is attached to the optical box and positions corresponding to the other end side of the reflection mirror, respectively; \n disposing a spacer on a protrusion that is used for supporting the reflection mirror among the plurality of protrusions; and placing the reflection mirror on the spacer, wherein the reflection mirror placed on the spacer is out of contact with a protrusion on which the spacer is not disposed.
