Abstract
An image formation apparatus includes: a light source configured to emit laser light; a polygon mirror configured to reflect the laser light; a photoreceptor configured to be exposed to the laser light reflected by the polygon mirror; a motor configured to rotate the polygon mirror; and a controller configured to sense a type of a sheet transported through the image formation apparatus. The image formation apparatus includes as operation modes a first mode in which no sheet type is sensed and a second mode in which a sheet type is sensed. The controller performs different processes for control regarding rotation of the motor in the first and second modes, respectively.

An image formation apparatus comprising:
- a light source configured to emit laser light;
- a polygon mirror configured to reflect the laser light;
- a photoreceptor configured to be exposed to the laser light reflected by the polygon mirror;
- a motor configured to rotate the polygon mirror;
- and
- a controller configured to sense a type of a sheet transported through the image formation apparatus,
- the image formation apparatus having an operation mode including
- a first mode in which the controller does not sense the type of the sheet, and
- a second mode in which the controller senses the type of the sheet,
- the controller performing different processes for control regarding rotation of the motor the first and second modes, respectively.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a computer readable program which is a control program for controlling an image formation apparatus comprising:
- a light source configured to emit laser light;
- a polygon mirror configured to reflect the laser light;
- a photoreceptor configured to he exposed to the laser light reflected by the polygon mirror;
- a motor configured to rotate the polygon mirror;
- and
- a controller configured to sense a type of a sheet transported through the image formation apparatus,
- the image formation apparatus having an operation mode including
- a first mode in which the controller does not sense the type of the sheet, and
- a second mode in which the controller senses the type of the sheet,
- the control program causing the controller to perform different processes for control regarding rotation of the motor in the first and second modes, respectively.
The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to clams 9, wherein the control program causes the controller to rotate the motor in the second mode after a type of a sheet is sensed, the motor being rotated at a rotation speed determined based on the type of the sheet sensed.
