Abstract
A photoreceptor belt for use in a recording device using a electrophotographic technique comprises a lead tape having a free tip and a trailing edge attached to a protective film covering a photoreceptor layer formed on an endless belt base. When a new photoreceptor belt is installed in a recording device, the tip of the lead tape and the following protective film is removed from the photoreceptor belt by a lead tape guide, thereby avoiding a damage of the photoreceptor layer by the operator.
