Photo conductor cleaning
• The toner image on the photo conductor is transferred to the transfer belt (1st image
transfer).
Part of the toner image that is not transferred is left on the surface of the photo conduc-
tor. The residual toner is scraped off by the cleaning blade.
• Toner, which has been scraped off the surface of the photo conductor, is conveyed by the
toner collecting screw toward to the front of the machine. It is discharged in the waste
toner box.
• The waste toner collected in the waste toner box is disposed of when a waste toner box
which is detected to be full of waste toner is replaced with a new one and the used waste
toner box is discarded.
