The cleaning blade [A] is always in contact with the transfer belt. It scrapes off any
toner and paper dust remaining on the belt.
To remove toner and other particles that are accumulated at the edge of the
cleaning blade, the transfer belt turns in reverse at the end of every print job, in the
same way as the drum cleaning blade mechanism.
The toner and paper dust that is scraped off falls down into the toner collection
tank [B], which is in the transfer belt unit. This toner is not recycled.
When the toner overflow sensor [C] in the transfer belt unit detects toner overflow,
the toner overflow indicator lights. After this, 999 printed sheets can be made
before machine operation stops.
