Abstract

An exposure head includes a substrate on which light sources are mounted, and a condensing optical system. A memory stores a profile indicating correction gains for exposure amounts. A sensor detects a temperature. A processor acquires a correction gain that corresponds to a position of a light source that reached an exposure timing, corrects, for each of the light sources, an exposure amount of the light source with the correction gain corresponding to the position of the light source, and adjusts, for each of the light sources, a reference position of the corresponding correction gain in the profile in accordance with the temperature detected by the sensor.
