Abstract
Image data is inputted from a data processing meansinto storage meansso that light emitting elements of one lineof a light-emitting element (yellow) line headare activated to expose pixels on an image carrier according to an output signal form a shift resistor. The image carrier is moved in the direction of arrow X in such a manner that the pixels reach a position corresponding to the light emitting elements in a next line. At this point of time, the image data are transmitted to a shift resistorand then outputted to the lineso as to expose the pixels again. The image data are transmitted among the shift resistors sequentially by moving the image carrier, thereby sequentially repeatedly expose the same pixels.
