Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus, a control unit performs a control to cause an exposing unit to expose a plurality of image bearing members at different times to form exposure regions on a plurality of image bearing members, to acquire results acquired by applying direct current voltage lower than discharge start voltage to a plurality of abutting members by an applying unit when the exposure region pass by the abutting parts against the abutting members and detected by a detecting unit, and to, based on the acquired results of the detections, acquire information regarding the surface potentials of the a plurality of image bearing members.

Claim (Index 2):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the applying unit has separate power supplies each configured to apply voltage to corresponding one of the plurality of abutting members.
