Apparatus for surface cleaning in electrophotographic imaging.

摘要

An electrostatographic imaging device of the type forming a multilevel electrostatic latent image on a surface of the imaging member (10), and developing (33, 34) the multilevel electrostatic latent image with at least two types of toner, includes a brush cleaner (F) for removal of toner and debris remaining after transfer of the image to another surface. The brush cleaner is maintained in a condition loaded with a first toner type providing abrasive characteristics at the fibers of the brush, for abrading the imaging member for removal of toner of said second type.
