CORONA WIRE CLEANER
The flow of air around the charge corona wires [A] may deposit paper dust or
toner particles on the corona wires. These particles may interfere with
charging and cause low density bands on copies. The wire cleaner [B] allows
the operator to correct this problem by simply pulling out and pushing in the
corona unit.
Each corona wire is held between two pads on the wire cleaner
The wires ride between the pads when the unit is pulled out, and the pads
clean off any particles on the wires.
