IMAGE FORMATION DEVICE, IMAGE FORMATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a memory capacity on a control side by reducing a down time which is caused by reading time and transfer time of a certain data that is used on an exposure side to the control side.SOLUTION: An image formation device which is equipped with two or more exposure means in which a plurality of light-emitting elements are arrayed includes a reading means which reads at each one exposure means before starting of exposure, by the one exposure means, of a certain data that is used at the time of exposure by the exposure means, a storing means which store the data that is read by the reading means, and a transfer means which transfers the data stored in the storing means to the one exposure means before starting of exposure by the one exposure means.
