Abstract:
A controller controls a charging unit to charge a photosensitive member so that a surface potential of the photosensitive member is controlled to a first potential, controls an exposure unit to expose the photosensitive member so that a potential of an exposure region on the photosensitive member is controlled to a second potential, controls a surface potential of a developing sleeve of a developing unit to a third potential; and forms a test image on a sheet by controlling the photosensitive member, the charging unit, the exposure unit, and the developing unit. An absolute value of the first potential is larger than an absolute value of the second potential. An absolute value of the third potential is larger than the absolute value of the first potential.

Claim (Index 6):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the controller\n controls the charging unit to charge the photosensitive member so that the surface potential of the photosensitive member is controlled to a fourth potential different from the first potential, \n controls the exposing unit to expose the photosensitive member so that a potential of an exposure region on the photosensitive member is controlled to a fifth potential different from the second potential, \n controls the surface potential of the developing sleeve to a sixth potential different from the third potential, and \n forms another test image by controlling the photosensitive member, the charging unit, the exposure unit, and the developing unit, \n wherein an absolute value of the fourth potential is larger than an absolute value of the fifth potential, and wherein an absolute value of the sixth potential is larger than the absolute value of the fourth potential.
