Abstract
A method for regenerating a charging member for an electrophotographic system that is pressed against a surface of a body to charge the body, a charging member and a device for regenerating a charging member are provided. The method includes a step of applying heat treatment to the charging member. A used charging member, whose resistance is not decreased enough to recover a required chargeability by cleaning the surface thereof, can easily be regenerated and reused.
