Abstract
Scanning exposure for three pigments by three optical beams is carried out during a single main scanning. An angle of incidence and an angle between respective light beams are determined so as to prevent overlapping of scanning exposure. As a result, a single modulator can be used in modulating light beams. With respect to maximum swing angle of light beam by a flat mirror of a deflecting device, a image can be recorded (scanning exposure) on a sensitive material by a swing angle of about 1/5 by allocating swing width with respect to the center. Thus, a deviation of position of a focusing point and change in speed can be suppressed so that focusing, concentration and the like can be included within an allowable range.
