ABSTRACT:
A grounding method and apparatus for robustly grounding a photoreceptor assembly, including a conductive photoreceptor drum, in a xerographic image producing machine. The grounding apparatus includes (a) a flange including a first portion having a first diameter and a second portion having a second and smaller diameter; (b) a conductive plating formed on said flange presenting a relatively large conductive surface area for contactably assembling against walls of the conductive photoreceptor drum; and (c) an electrical connector for electrically connecting the large conductive surface area of the conductive plating to an electrically conductive drive shaft of the xerographic image producing machine.
