A multi-functional belt/blade cleaner removes toner and other residual processing debris from a processing surface in a photocopying machine. The multi-functional belt/blade cleaner includes a flexible cleaner belt having a plurality of blades formed by cuts in the cleaner belt. The cuts are made across the width and at intervals along the length of the cleaner belt to define individual blades having cleaning edges. The cleaner belt may be uniform or may comprise a plurality of belt segments, having different cleaning capabilities, connected together and mounted on a flexible supporting belt. In operation, the cleaner belt is revolved to periodically bring each of the cleaning edges into wiping contact with a processing surface, such as a photoreceptor, intermediate belt, ink imaging surface, or biased transfer surface.
