A multi-beam scanning device (101) including a multi-beam light source (100) including plural laser diode arrays (1a; 1b) emitting plural laser beams and at least one coupling lens (2a; 2b) ; a deflector (5) configured to deflect the plural laser beams; an optical system (6) configured to guide the deflected plural laser beams to an image forming surface; a body (102) configured to contain the multi-beam light source, deflector and scanning optical system; and an adjustment member (104) located between the body and the multi-beam light source and configured to adjust the beam pitch of the plural laser beams in the sub-scanning direction. An image forming apparatus (200) including an image bearing member (8), the above-mentioned scanning device (101) and an image forming device (76). <IMAGE> |
