ABSTRACT:
A detoning cleaner subsystem for a xerographic machine includes a housing having a longitudinal opening extending on one side thereof and a longitudinally extending rotating brush located therein which cleans toner particles from a moving photoreceptor surface moving past the opening. A longitudinally extending air manifold is located within the housing substantially adjacent the longitudinal opening, near one of first and second air gaps located between the photoreceptor surface and the manifold. The air manifold defines an air channel extending longitudinally substantially the length of the brush. The air channel is in communication with the longitudinal opening. A vacuum source in communication with the air channel provides a longitudinal air flow therethrough for maintaining the dispersed particles aloft and removing the particles. A flicker bar is preferably located between the brush and the air manifold to remove toner accumulation from the brush.
