<p>In an electrostatographic reproduction apparatus (10) wherein a latent image charge pattern is formed on a moving dielectric member web (12) and developed with pigmented marking particles to form a transferable developed image on the dielectric member web, an improved cleaning assembly (60) for removing residual marking particles and debrease from the dielectric member web. The improved cleaning assembly comprises a cleaning brush (62) supported in a housing (66). The housing is located to position the peripheral surface of the cleaning brush in cleaning engagement with the dielectric member web, and a vacuum is established within the housing. A relatively stiff cleaning blade (64) is supported in engagement with the dielectric member web at a predetermined positional orientation under a sufficient loading so as to cause the dielectric member web to be substantially deflected by the blade in the range of approximately 0.25-0.600 cm.</p> |
