The polygon mirror used in the machine's laser scanner has resulted in imperceptible manufacturing variation of its mirror surface angle. In other words, the ma-
chine, which determines the start points of 4 main scanning lines using the Bk laser as the reference BD, is inherently subject to variation in the starting points of
Y and M main scanning lines.
To make up for the variation, the machine computes the variation among the angles of individual mirrors by measuring BD intervals, correcting the start points of
the Y and M main scanning lines based on the result of the computation.
The machine executes this correction each time it is turned on or for each print job.
