6. CLEANING
6.1OVERVIEW
This copier uses the counter blade system for drum cleaning. The blade [A] is
angled against the drum rotation. This counter blade system has the advantage
of high cleaning efficiency.
The cleaning blade removes any toner remaining on the drum after the image is
transferred to the copy paper. The toner that is wiped off by the cleaning blade
drops onto the toner collection coil [B], which then moves it to the toner collection
bottle.
The cleaning blade pressure spring [C] applies pressure to the exact center of
the cleaning blade so that pressure is evenly applied across the entire length of
the cleaning blade. Blade pressure is applied constantly.
