Adjusting device for a multi-beam source unit and image forming apparatus

摘要

An adjusting device for a multi-beam source unit includes a mounting bracket, a base member rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket and a multi-beam laser diode provided with light emitting points positioned substantially in a straight line with respect to each other. The multi-beam laser diode is mounted on the base member and radiates a laser beam from the light emitting points. The base member rotates such that the laser beam is radiated onto a predetermined position of an image recording plane of a scanning optical system.
