6. Toner cleaning
(1) Toner remaining on the exposure drum which has not completely been transferred on to
the paper is pulled onto the cleaning roller with a lower potential and the drum is cleaned.
(2) After the above step, the potential of the roller is raised during printing, and such attracted
toner is returned to the drum again. The returned toner is attracted to the belt unit by
lowering the potential of the transfer roller.
(3) The toner attracted to the belt unit is collected by the belt cleaner below the unit, and
stored in the waste toner box.
Memo:
When the toner returns to the exposure drum from the cleaning roller, the develop roller is
separated from the drum to prevent color mixture.
