ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes an image input section for inputting a packed unit of image data corresponding to n pixels, where n is greater than or equal to 2. A clock generating section is provided for generating a first clock having a predetermined period, and a second clock having a predetermined synchronization relation to the first clock and a shorter period than the predetermined period of the first clock. A pixel dividing section is provided for expanding the inputted image data corresponding to n pixels into image data corresponding to one pixel. The pixel dividing section expands the image data corresponding to n pixels in synchronization with the first clock, and an image recording section records an image in a unit of one pixel in synchronization with the second clock in accordance with the expanded image data.
