Abstract
The present invention provides an image forming apparatus to write image data using a laser diode on a photoconductive element, wherein a high speed light output control circuit for controlling a light emitting power for each dot of a laser diode is monolithically provided on a LD driving board to maintain light output of a laser diode without placing additional load to a CPU for controlling printing operations.
