<p>Cleaning apparatus for a dry heated pressure fusing system in which a conformable roll having a sleeve made of a material selected from the group of fluoro carbon resins, silicone, or fluorosilicones contacts the dry fuser roll to receive both paper contamination and non-visual toner offset to maintain clean copy sheets fixed by the fusing system. Some paper contamination and toner is electrostatically attracted to the cleaning roll by electrostatic attraction as well as surface forces. A cleaning pad is retractably positioned to scrub the dry fuser roll surface to loosen fine sizing particles in the paper and tiny toner particles so that they can be removed onto the sleeve. The contamination and toner offset are removed from the sleeve by a wiping member which may be non-tacky or tacky.</p> |
