<p>Apparatus for reducing the contamination of one dry toner or developer by another used for rendering visible latent electrostatic images formed on a charge-retentive surface, such as a photoconductive imaging member (12), causes the otherwise-contaminating dry toner to be attracted preferentially to the charge-retentive surface (12) in its inter-document and peripheral areas. The dry toner or developer so attracted is subsequently removed from the surface (12) at a cleaning station (F).</p> |
