摘要

An image forming machine such as a copying machine and a printer for forming an image on a recording medium with plural laser beams. The image forming machine includes: an image reader for reading an original image and for generating image signals corresponding to the original image; plural laser beam generators for writing the image on the recording medium according to the image signals; an index signal generating circuit for generating plural index signals each of which initiates respective one of the plural laser beam generators to write the image; and a control circuit for controlling a reading operation of the image reader. In the image forming machine, the control circuit initiates the reading operation of the image reader according to one of the plural index signals. <IMAGE>
