Abstract
In an image recording apparatus of the type responsive to electrical signal input information representative of a select image for line scanning a photosensitive medium with a linear array of spaced apart light emitting elements to record the selected image thereon, there is provided an adjustable mask for controlling the width and hence resolution of each line scanned by the linear array. The adjustable mask is also configured to accommodate oscillation of the light emitting elements in directions which displace the light emitting elements to overlap the spaces between adjacent light emitting elements so as to provide a continuous line exposure.
