Abstract
A method and apparatus for recording an image by simultaneously recording a plurality of scanning lines by a plurality of laser beams. Image data are written sequentially in units of one scanning line into a plurality of memories. The image data of adjacent scanning lines are read simultaneously in order starting with a memory area corresponding to a leading end of the scanning line toward a memory area corresponding to a terminating end thereof. Laser beams are emitted on the basis of the image data read, so as to record the image. Since the plurality of items of image data are read simultaneously from the plurality of memories, the processing speed can be increased as compared with a case where image data are read sequentially from a memory.
