Step 6: Clean/erase

There are two main cleaning processes that take place during the EP process. One process cleans the transfer
belt and the other cleans the photoconductors.
Transfer unit clean
Once the toner image on the transfer belt has been transferred to the page, the transfer belt rotates around and
is cleaned by the cleaning blade (G). This occurs for every page that is printed.
After the toner is moved to the cleaning blade, the toner is moved from the cleaning blade to the waste toner
area using an auger system.
