Multiple-image forming apparatus capable of correcting color shifts

A multiple-image forming apparatus comprising:

• optical means for scanning an image by emitting a beam of light modulated by image data;
• and
• a plurality of image bearing bodies each for receiving a latent image formed thereon by scanning of the optical means;
• and
• drive control means for controlling a driving speed of each of the image bearing bodies;
• wherein each of said image bearing bodies has a rotation axis making a predetermined angle with respect to a direction of said scanning by the optical means.

A multiple-image forming apparatus comprising:

• optical means for emitting a beam of light modulated by image data;
• scanning means for deflecting the beam emitted from the optical means;
• reflection means having a correcting surface for correcting distortion of an optical path of the beam deflected by the scanning means;
• and
• a plurality of image bearing bodies each for receiving a latent image formed thereon by scanning of the beam from the optical means after deflection by the reflection means.
