14-4. Doctor Blade

The Doctor Blade installed over the Sleeve/Magnet Roller regulates the height of the devel-
oper brush on the surface of the Sleeve Roller. The Blade is perpendicular to the direction
of movement of the Magnet Roller to minimize variations in the distance between the Doc-
tor Blade and Magnet Roller as the Magnet Roller moves.

14-5. Magnet Roller Lower Collector

Except the U.S.A., Canada, and Europe
There is a slit provided under the Magnet Roller to collect insufficiently charged toner in the
grounded Toner Antispill Trap. This effectively prevents the toner from spilling onto the
mechanism inside the copier.
