Drum Cleaning - Kyocera Ecosys FS-600 Service Manual

Operation theory
Operation overview

Drum cleaning

After the transferring process, the excessive toner remaining on the drum surface is
scraped off by the cleaning blade. The toner is conveyed through the drum unit conveyer
for collection in the waste toner reservoir inside the toner container. The maximum
capacity of the waste toner reservoir exceeds the amount of the toner inside the toner
container, making the chance of toner overfilling unlikely.
The drum surface can be uniformly recharged by the charging roller without requiring the
explicit erasure of the residual charge (remaining latent image) for the next
electrophotographic cycle.
