An optical scanning device includes a first optical a light source that has a plurality of luminous points; a first optical system that shapes a plurality of beams of light; a rotary polygon mirror an optical scanning system that causes the beams of light deflected to form images on a surface to be scanned, wherein &bgr; is assumed to be half of an angle formed between the optical axis of the first optical system and the optical axis of the optical scanning system within the deflecting/scanning surface, δ is assumed to be a distance between an intersection dc and an intersection hh, wherein δ is set to be zero or a negative value, given that δ is defined positive when the intersection dc is present on the optical-scanning side of the intersection hh.
