Abstract
In view of realizing higher resolution in the sub-scanning direction and achieving high precision and high quality image formation without generating ununiform distribution of exposure, a scanning surface of a photosensitive material is scanned with an optical beam on sequential parallel linear scanning lines with a predetermined angle for the main scanning direction to form an exposed image thereon.
