7. A method for manufacturing a scanning lens comprising a lens portion having an elongate shape extending in a main scanning direction and having an optical surface, and a slant portion having at least one slant surface slanting relative to the main scanning direction, the method comprising:
-
a first step of injecting resin into a mold having a mold area corresponding to a contour of the scanning lens; and a second step of removing the scanning lens from the mold by moving ejector pins in an optical axis direction of the scanning lens, wherein the ejector pins include at least one ejector pin having an end face shaped along a slanting direction of the slant surface, whereby the slant surface is pressed by the end face of the at least one ejector pin. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
