<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing electrophotographic photoreceptor, the method reducing a setup operation load of equipment when continuously manufacturing photoreceptors having different lengths while suppressing irregularity of electrophotographic properties due to unevenness of heating temperature, in the method of manufacturing electrophotographic photoreceptor using a high-frequency induction heating device. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The method of manufacturing electrophotographic photoreceptor comprises: a step of applying a coating liquid on the surface of a body to be coated including an optional one of cylindrical electroconductive supports having different lengths to form a coated film; and a step of induction-heating the cylindrical electroconductive supports by means of a high-frequency electromagnetic induction heating means provided with an exciting coil which is arranged in non-contact with the surface side of the coated film to dry and/or cure the coated film, wherein the exciting coil comprises an exciting coil group in which the plurality of exciting coils are arranged side by side in the axial direction of the cylindrical electroconductive supports. The method of manufacturing electrophotographic photoreceptor further includes a step of supplying a high-frequency current only to the exciting coil group existing on an area held between both axial-direction end parts of the body to be coated as an subject of the induction heating to dry and/or cure the coated film on the surface of the body to be coated.
