To provide a laser scanning control apparatus for driving a light source adapted to emit a laser beam in accordance with image data defined in pixels to scan an image bearing member in a main scanning direction with the laser beam emitted from the light source through a rotating polygon mirror, the laser scanning control apparatus being characterized by including a correction portion for, every one or more correction points on a main scanning line of the image bearing member to be scanned with the laser beam, extending the pixel length for each pixel located in the correction point concerned to thereby correct the scanning magnification of the main scanning line, and for changing the rotational speed of the rotating polygon mirror to correct the magnification in a sub scanning direction to thereby correct the output magnification.
