ABSTRACT:
An optical scanning apparatus is detachably mountable in an image forming apparatus. The optical scanning apparatus includes a light source unit to simultaneously emit a plurality of light beams; an optical element unit including an optical element to focus light beams deflected by the optical element onto a surface to be scanned, and hold the light source unit in a rotatively adjustable manner; and a rotation adjustment unit to adjust a position of the light source unit relative to the optical element unit in a rotation direction when an external force acts on the rotation adjustment unit. The rotation adjustment unit is disposed at a rear end of the optical scanning apparatus in an inserting direction to the image forming apparatus or at an adjustable position when the optical scanning apparatus is installed in the image forming apparatus.
