A charge eliminating device for use with a photoreceptor drum. The device eliminates a charge on a required portion of the surface of a photoreceptor drum so that an electrostatic latent image is eliminated on the required portion. The device includes a circuit board for holding an electrical circuit on its surface, the circuit board having a line-shaped edge disposed to face the surface of the photoreceptor drum. A plurality of light emitting elements are disposed on the circuit board to emit light in parallel to the surface of the circuit board in the direction of the line-shaped edge of the circuit board. The device further includes a housing having a plurality of compartments each of which encloses one of the plurality of light emitting elements on the circuit board and has an opening at the line-shaped edge for passing the emitted light in parallel to the surface of the circuit board to the surface of the photoreceptor.

Charge-eliminating apparatus of copier

A system for adjusting the output current of a discharge electrode for electrophotographic copying machines comprising the step of adjusting the output current of the discharge electrode in the electrophotographic copying machine by selecting a selector switch which corresponds to a class of photosensitive members, such that the discharge electrode produces an output current which is suited for the photosensitive members of the class.
