The cleaning brush [A] spreads out the waste toner remaining on the drum. The
cleaning blade [B] then scrapes it off. The toner collection auger [C] transports the
toner towards the waste toner collection duct.
The lubricant bar [D] is on the cleaning brush. The cleaning brush rubs against the
lubricant bar and lubricates the drum surface. Excess lubricant is removed by the
cleaning blade and sent to the waste toner collection duct.
