1. An image forming apparatus configured to form an image based on input image data, the image forming apparatus comprising:
a photosensitive member; a charging unit configured to charge the photosensitive member; a light irradiating unit configured to irradiate the photosensitive member charged by the charging unit with light; a developing unit configured to develop an electrostatic latent image with toner, the electrostatic latent image being formed on the photosensitive member by the light irradiating unit irradiating the photosensitive member; a processing unit configured to generate M-bit (M is an integer equal to or larger than 2) density data indicating a density based on the input image data, configured to generate (M+N)-bit processing data based on the M-bit density data and N-bit (N is an integer equal to or larger than 1) correction data, configured to convert the (M+N)-bit processing data into a plural-bit binary drive data corresponding to a value of the (M+N)-bit processing data, and configured to serially output the plural-bit binary drive data bit by bit to generate a drive signal; and a drive unit configured to drive the light irradiating unit based on the drive signal generated by the processing unit. |
