A photosensitive body has a photosensitive layer. An optical scanning device has a deflector deflecting a light flux emitted from a light source, and scans the surface of the photosensitive body by the thus-deflected light flux. A dot is formed at a center between adjacent light fluxes as a result of the adjacent light fluxes being overlapped with one another in a sub-scan direction. A ratio of a static beam-spot diameter Ws in the sub-scan direction on the surface of the photosensitive body defined by 1/e2 of the maximum value in the exposure distribution of the beam spot to an interval L between adjacent scan lines satisfies the following formula: 1.2<Ws/L<4.5.
