An object of the present invention is to provide an electrophotographic
photoreceptor capable of recording management information for managing the
electrophotographic photoreceptor in a noncontact manner, and improving
management of the electrophotographic photoreceptor. An
electrophotographic photoreceptor includes a conductive base, a
photosensitive layer and a flange portion, wherein a noncontact
information medium provided with an antenna part which communicates in a
noncontact manner with a reader/writer of a main body of an
electrophotographic image forming apparatus and a control part which
stores management information for managing the electrophotographic
photoreceptor and controls the antenna part so as to communicate with the
reader/writer is disposed onto the conductive base.
