A method for banding suppression due to vibration in an image forming and/or image receiving apparatus with laser driver utilizes governing equations which relate the on/off time and intensity to velocity and frequency of vibration are disclosed. Using derived formulas, an amplitude and frequency modulation (AM/FM) combination is used to suppress the banding due to vibration. The equation which governs the on/off time (FM) is t1+e sin(2pift1)/vn=t0. This transcendental equation can be solved for the required on-time t1 in terms of the nominal on-time t0, e (vibration amplitude), v0 (nominal velocity) and f (vibration frequency). The equation which governs the intensity is H3(t)=v(t)/v0. H3(t) controls the level of irradiance. This method is further extended to multi-temporal vibration frequency and may correct banding due to irradiance modulation.
