Abstract

A high quality image forming apparatus capable of outputting a quality image at a high speed is provided, with which no unevenness is generated on an image and a fog or a change in density is less likely to occur. An exposing unit is operated by an over-filled scanner method for exposure by a rotational polygon mirror that reflects lights on a surface narrower than an incident beam width, and forms an electrostatic latent image by back area exposure for exposing a non-image part.
