Apparatus for and method of recording image

摘要

A light beam (L) emitted from a light source (22) is supplied to an optical modulator (16) having cells (24) that are controlled depending on image information to be recorded, and then light beams reflected by the cells are guided to a light collecting device (18). The light beams are then collected in an auxiliary scanning direction and reach a photosensitive medium to record an image thereon. The cells of the optical modulator are individually controlled in a main scanning direction depending on different image information, and controlled in the auxiliary scanning direction depending on identical image information.
