In this way, the horizontal displacement or the horizontal rotation of the photosensitive assembly 14 can be more accurately adjusted by the conduction current directions of the first direction coil set 1431 and the second direction coil set 1432, so as to perform more accurate light compensation of the photosensitive member 141.
