Transfer belt cleaning mechanism

• To scrape residual toner off the surface of the transfer belt, there is a cleaning blade pro-
vided.
• The cleaning blade is pressed up against the transfer belt, thereby scraping residual
toner off the surface of the transfer belt.
• The toner collecting screw conveys toner scraped off by the cleaning blade into the imag-
ing cartridge.
• The prevention seal is affixed to prevent waste toner from leaking through a gap above
the cleaning blade.
