Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided an image forming apparatus including: a photosensitive member that is driven to rotate; an exposure head that includes a plurality of light-emitting portions arranged at different positions in an axial direction of the photosensitive member, wherein each of pixels of an image corresponding to an output resolution of the image forming apparatus is formed by multiple light-emitting portions of the plurality of light-emitting portions, and a control unit configured to control the number of light-emitting portions to be driven to form each of the pixels of the image based on correction data.
