Abstract
An electrophotographic apparatus for producing one or more copied images of an original by forming an electrostatic latent image of the original on a photosensitive member whose width is narrower than that of a recording paper, developing the latent image, and transferring the developed image onto the recording paper, the apparatus including a device for removing electric charge from edge portions of the photosensitive member after said transferring but before next succeeding development of said latent image in the course of repeating developments and transferrings of one electrostatic latent image formed on said photosensitive member.
