2.9.3 TRANSFER BELT CLEANING

[A] |
Some toner may adhere to the transfer belt when paper jams occur. The adhered toner must be removed to prevent the rear side of the copy paper from getting dirty.
The cleaning blade [A] scrapes off any toner remaining on the transfer belt. This is a counter blade system.
Even if the toner is not completely removed due to paper dust stuck on the transfer belt cleaning blade [A], the positively charged cleaning bias roller [B] attracts the remaining toner. The bias roller cleaning blade [C] scrapes toner off the cleaning bias roller.
The surface of the transfer belt is coated to make it smooth and prevent the transfer belt from flipping the cleaning blade.
The toner collection coil [D] transports toner cleaned off the transfer belt to the waste toner collection bottle (see Toner Supply and Recycling for more on this).
