Light beam image recording apparatus having commonly driven member

摘要

An image recording method having a first step of recording an image on a first area of a recording medium by the major scanning by a light beam scanning optical system and a first subsidiary scanning in which the recording medium is moved relative to the light beam scanning optical system in a direction intersecting the major scanning, and a second step of recording an image on a second area of the recording medium by the major scanning and a second subsidiary scanning in which the recording medium is moved relative to the light beam scanning optical system so that the first area again crosses the scanning area of the light beam scanning optical system.
