Abstract

The invention provides an image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive drum, an exposure device, a supporting member and a main adjustment member. The photosensitivedrum is provided for each of colors forming a color image. The exposure device is configured to emit a laser light on each of the photosensitive drums to form an electrostatic latent image. The supporting member is configured to support end portions of rotation shafts of all the photosensitive drums. The main adjustment member is configured to shift the supporting member in a vertical plane to adjust a skew of the laser light.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus having a photosensitive drum for forming an electrostatic latent image. Background technique [0002] In an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, a photosensitive drum is exposed by laser light output from an optical element of an exposure device to form an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum. At this time, if the exposure device and the photosensitive drum are slightly misaligned, the image on the photosensitive drum will be tilted (skew) and a color shift will occur. In general, since a large number of components are interposed between the optical element and the photosensitive drum, it is difficult to position the two with high accuracy. [0003] An image forming apparatus has been disclosed that has an exposure device arranged to be inclined with respect to the rotation axis of a photosensitive drum. The image forming device finely adjusts the peripheral speed of the pho...
