ABSTRACT:
A document or business forms handling machine having toner associated therewith, and also having rollers and paper guiding surfaces on which toner may collect, is simply and easily periodically cleaned using a sheet of paper having a thickness and weight comparable to 20-38 lb. bond paper (or 80-100 lb. tag stock), and having a pattern of non-tacky toner attracting and holding material (such as pressure sensitive cohesive, like a styrene-natural rubber copolymer) on at least a first face thereof covers at least about twenty percent of the first face. The cohesive engages, attracts, and holds undesirable toner as the sheet is fed through the machine, to clean it. The machine may be a photocopier, laser printer, or pressure sealer; and the pattern may be a solid block, or spaced parallel strips of cohesive.
