Abstract
An image forming apparatus for simultaneously scanning a record medium by a plurality of laser beams includes a beam detector capable of simultaneously detecting all of the scanning laser spots, a position detector for detecting the arrival of the laser spots at a predetermined position in response to an output signal of said beam detector, and a distributor for distributing the beam position detection signal outputted by said position detector. The initiation of recording of the laser beams is controlled by the distributed beam position detection signal.
