A method of manufacturing an optical scanning apparatus which includes: a light source having a plurality of luminous points; a coupling lens converting a plurality of beams from the light source into luminous flux; a deflector deflecting the luminous flux in a main scanning direction; a scanning lens focusing the luminous flux from the deflector onto a scanned surface so as to form an image; and a frame supporting at least the light source and the coupling lens, the method includes: fixing a coupling lens to a frame; adjusting a position of the light source, relative to the coupling lens fixed to the frame, while the light source emits the light; adjusting a pitch between the plurality of beams the optical axis while the light source emits the light; and fixing the light source to the frame at the adjusted position and the adjusted pitch.
