Abstract

In an image recording apparatus which records an image on a recording medium by moving (subscanning) the recording medium while the recording medium is scanned (main scanning) with a scanner, a feed amount of the photosensitive material is detected by a detector and, on the basis of the detected result, a variation amount of movement speed is computed at a controller. A motor, which drives a light source unit in a main scanning direction is adjusted in accordance with the variation amount. Thus, a subscanning direction scanning line pitch error is corrected.
