Ricoh FT 4015 - Charge Corona Wire Cleaner Mechanism

2.2 CHARGE CORONA WIRE CLEANER MECHANISM
Pads [A] move along the charge corona wire as the wire cleaner knob [B] is
manually slid in and out.
The cleaner pad bracket [C] is connected to the wire cleaner knob. When the
knob is pulled out, the pads move into contact with the corona wire as shown,
since the casing [D] is narrower away from the home position.
The pads move away from the wire when the wire cleaner knob is fully
inserted and the pad bracket is pushed back to the home position.
After copier installation, the key operator should be instructed to use this
mechanism when copies have white streaks or uneven image density.
Instruct the operator to firmly push the pad bracket into the home position.
Poor copy quality will result if the cleaning pads remain in contact with the
charge corona wire.
