ABSTRACT:
An agglomerate spot cleaning blade is supported to cleaning housing, thereby forming a substantially enclosed chamber, in sealing engagement with respect to the photoreceptor surface. Contact is maintained between a cleaning brush, located within a cleaning housing, and a blade, whereby rotating brush fibers remove accumulated agglomerate debris particles from the blade. A substantially air-flow free environment is maintained for removal of residual toner and debris from the photoreceptor surface and the blade, without the need for a separate vacuum/air removal system assist, or a separate manual maintenance step.
