The cleaning blade [A] removes any toner remaining on the drum after the image is
transferred to the paper. The toner remaining on the drum is scraped off by the
cleaning blade and transferred to the collection area. The mylar sheet [B] prevents
the toner from dropping out of the cleaning unit.
The toner cartridge in the commercial toner cartridge has a toner collection coil [C]
and scraper [D]. These improve the collection of waste toner.
There is no toner recycling mechanism.
