ABSTRACT:
There is provided an image forming apparatus able to form color images of higher quality without color deviation in an inexpensive way. A displacement driving unit is provided to move an optical element unit to displace a beam spot on a photoconductor in the sub scanning direction. A first detection unit is provided to detect the turning cycle of a transfer member, and a second detection unit is provided to detect writing timing of a laser beam from the optical element unit on the photoconductor. When writing a number of toner images on the photoconductor in sequence, the optical element unit is moved and the beam spot is displaced on the photoconductor in the sub scanning direction to correct the writing position on the photoconductor and eliminate deviation of image transfer positions on the transfer member. The magnitude of the displacement of the beam spot on the photoconductor is determined by the time difference between a first signal from the first detection unit and a second signal from the second detection unit.
