Abstract
A supporting apparatus for an optical scanning apparatus includes an optical source which emits an optical beam. A deflector deflects the optical beam from the optical source. A focusing lens focuses the optical beam from the deflector. An optical housing is provided with the optical source, deflector and the focusing lens. A positioning device supports the optical housing and positions the optical housing, relative to a frame. An adjusting device moves an end of the optical housing in a sub-scanning direction so that an inclination of the optical housing in the sub-scanning direction can be adjusted.
