Abstract
A photoreceptor web grounding structure of a liquid electrophotographic printer for grounding a photoreceptor web installed in the printer, the structure includes a removable cartridge detachably installed in the printer, a first grounding brush installed at the removable cartridge and contacting the photoreceptor web, and a second grounding brush installed at a main frame to be in contact with the first grounding brush when the removable cartridge is installed in the printer. Thus, the first grounding brush installed at the removable cartridge is also replaced when the photoreceptor web is replaced so that replacement process due to contamination of the grounding brush can be very easily done.
