Abstract

A scanning time after a detection signal from a first laser beam detection sensor is inputted until a detection sensor from a second laser beam detection sensor is inputted by a counter, flip-flops, a corrected write frequency f1 is computed by a control circuit from a value T1 corresponding to the measured scanning time and a function F (T1) for computing a correction factor using the basic write frequency f0 and the value T1 above and through the equation of "f1=f0.times.F (T1)", and the write clock frequency is corrected by a clock generation circuit, thus the write clock frequency being controlled according to a change in the scanning speed.
