Abstract

Provided is a device for detecting a horizontal synchronization signal of an image forming apparatus. The device includes a light intensity converter to convert light intensity of a first beam emitted from a first light source and light intensity of a second beam emitted from a second light source to be different from each other, and outputting the first and second beams; a photo detector to receive the first beam and the second beam output from the light intensity converter, and outputting a first signal having a first level at a time of receiving the first beam and a second level at a time of receiving the second beam; and a horizontal synchronization signal detector to detect a horizontal synchronization signal of the first beam and a horizontal synchronization signal of the second beam by using the first signal.
