Abstract
A plurality of light emitting elements is arranged in a main scanning direction. A setter is configured to set a basal exposure period of the plurality of light emitting elements, based on a clock count of frequency-spread clocks. A candidate generator is configured to add, to the basal exposure period, predetermined N alteration periods (N is an integer greater than or equal to two) having different lengths from each other, thereby generating N candidate exposure periods having different lengths from each other. A detector is configured to detect a frequency level of the clocks in a period corresponding to the basal exposure period. A selector is configured to select, as an exposure period for lighting the plurality of light emitting elements, a longer one of the N candidate exposure periods as the frequency level detected by the detector is higher.
