Abstract
In an image exposing apparatus and an image exposing method, a deterioration of an image quality caused by stray light is suppressed, while both a sensitive level and a non-sensitive level are properly set in accordance with a type of photosensitive material. In the image exposing apparatus, a recording level setting unit calculates a recording level corresponding to a light amount level stored in a recording level light amount memory and sets the calculated recording level. A non-recording level setting unit calculates a non-recording level from an extinction ratio, which corresponds to a type of photosensitive material stored in a photosensitive material information memory, and the recording level. An output voltage setting unit sets an output voltage such that a detected voltage becomes equal to one of the recording level and the non-recording level.
