<p>An optical scanning device is constituted without using any arc sin ¸ correction lens, while maintaining quality of an image. In the optical scanning device, a clock cycle of an actually-used dot clock corresponding to the scanning direction of an optical flux exhibits an error equal to or less than 1 cycle of a master clock with respect to a clock cycle of a dot clock which constitutes a theoretical value such that optical fluxes corresponding to respective dots are arranged at equal intervals, the cycle differences between the clock cycle of the actually-used dot clock corresponding to the scanning direction of the optical flux and the clock cycles of the preceding and succeeding dot clocks become errors equal to or less than 1 cycle of the master clock, and an error between the number of the master clocks which is acquired by cumulatively adding the dot clocks from the dot clock corresponding to a scanning start position of the optical flux to the dot clock to be generated, and the number of the master clocks which constitutes a theoretical value and is acquired by cumulatively adding dot clocks which constitute the theoretical values corresponding to the dot clocks from the dot clock corresponding to the scanning start position of the optical flux to the dot clock to be generated becomes equal to or less than 1 cycle of the master clock.</p> |
