6.8  DRUM CLEANING AND TONER RECYCLING
6.8.1 DRUM CLEANING
This machine employs a counter blade
system. After the image is transferred
to paper, a cleaning blade [A] removes
any toner remaining on the drum. The
toner collection coil [B] carries scraped
off toner to the toner collection plate
[C].
The collar [D] on the cleaning blade
bracket contacts the outer rim of cam
gear [E], which moves the cleaning
blade side to side. This side-to-side
movement disperses accumulated
toner to prevent early blade edge wear
at one location.
The drum reverses about 5 mm after
every print job to remove particles on
the edge of the cleaning blade.
6.8.2 TONER RECYCLING
Toner collected by the toner collection
coil [A] is transported to the opening [B].
This toner falls into the development
unit with new toner coming from the
toner bottle. The paddle roller [C] mixes
the collected toner with the new toner.
NOTE:  A screen filter [D] has been
added to strain out paper dust
and other foreign matter.
