22-1. Cleaning Unit

The Cleaning Blade is pressed tightly against the surface of the PC Drum and scrapes off
any toner remaining on the surface after image transfer and paper separation have been
completed.
The Cleaning Blade is moved back and forth to prevent the PC Drum from deteriorating and
the Cleaning Blade from warping away from the surface of the PC Drum.
A Toner Antispill Mylar affixed to the Imaging Unit prevents toner scraped off the surface of
the PC Drum from falling down onto the surface of the copy paper or the paper path.
In addition, a Side Seal and Brush Seal are affixed to both ends of the Imaging Unit on both
sides of the Cleaning Blade. They prevent toner from spilling from both ends of the Clean-
ing Blade.
