Abstract (en)

An organic photoconductor member (401) having an outer protective layer (4011) is revived after use by heat treatment. The heat treatment serves to increase donor concentration at the surface of the outer protective layer. The heat treatment is desirably carried out by irradiating the outer protective layer with infrared radiation whilst shielding other parts of the organic photoconductor member and directing cooling air or gas to those other parts.
