2.1.3.5 Cleaning (drum)
At the “Cleaning (drum)” process, residual toner is removed from the drum surface.
Cleaning the drum
Toner that was not transferred to the Belt at the “Primary transfer” process remains
on the drum surface. Since the remaining toner hinder subsequent processes, it is
scraped off by a Cleaning Blade that contacts with the drum, and is collected in the
Waste Toner Box.
