<p>Apparatus for cleaning residual toner from a charge retentive surface (20) is provided with a rotating abrading brush (140), located upstream of a primary cleaner (110) relative to a feeding direction of the charge retentive surface (20). The abrading brush (140) contacts and abrades the charge retentive surface (20). The abrasion of the charge retentive surface (20) reduces the friction between the charge retentive surface (20) and a primary cleaner (which is preferably a cleaning blade (110) biased against the charge retentive surface) and prevents the formation of comets (adhered toner particles) on the charge retentive surface (20). <IMAGE></p> |
