Cleaning is a process of recovering the residual toner on the photoconductive drum.
1. The cleaning brush scrapes off the excessive toner and paper wastes. The flicker scrapes off the
toner on the brush.
Also, too prevent the cleaning blade from scratching the surface of the drum to make a
circumferential streak, the varistor is attached between the brush and earth.
2. Cleaning blade scrapes off the residual toner on the drum.
