Abstract

An image input section reads an image on a document, and simultaneously output image data of a plurality of pixels. An input image converting section generates second image data continuing in a sub-scanning direction based on image data. An image processing section provides a predetermined image processing to the image data to generate third image data. An image output section forms a duplicating image of an image on the document by simultaneously using a plurality of laser devices corresponding to each pixel based on the third image data. Image data in which a plurality of pixels is simultaneously input is arrayed and adjusted to be applied to a multi-beam output. As a result, an image processing for obtaining a high quality of the duplicating image can be performed at high speed.
