Abstract
An image recording apparatus for recording an image by application of light beam to a photosensitive member includes a photosensitive member; a light source for emitting first and second beams, one of the first and second beams bearing image information; and a scanner for scanning the photosensitive member with the first and second beams with a time interval so that they are overlapped on the photosensitive material.
Claims5
An image recording apparatus for recording an image by application of light beams to a photosensitive member, comprising:
- a photosensitive member;
- light source means for emitting first and second means, both of the first and second beams bearing image information, wherein one of the first and second beams is defocused on said photosensitive member;
- and
- scanning means for scanning said photosensitive member with the first and second beams with a time interval therebetween so that they are overlapped on said photosensitive member.
