Claims12
An image-forming apparatus, comprising:
- an image-forming unit configured to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on a photoreceptor so as to form a developer-image;
- and
- an optical scanner configured to irradiate the photoreceptor of the image-forming unit with light flux so as to form the electrostatic latent image, the optical scanner including
- a housing,
- a board mounted on the housing,
- a light source, mounted on the board, which emits the light flux in a predetermined direction,
- an output-adjustment-handling unit, mounted on the board, which adjusts output of the light flux emitted from the light source, and
- a connector, mounted on the board below the output-adjustment-handling unit in the vertical direction where the housing is mounted on the image-forming apparatus, and connected to a signal line which transmits a control signal to the light source.
