ABSTRACT:
A main body of a regenerating apparatus of a recording medium has a conveyor mechanism which conveys a recording medium to be regenerated along a conveyance passage. A cleaning unit is removably mounted on the main body for easy maintenance, cleaning or replacement. Preferably, the cleaning unit has a U-shaped conveyance passage of the recording medium filled up with a cleaning liquid, and an image removing mechanism which applies a physical treatment to the surface of the recording medium. The recording medium is taken in the U-shaped conveyance passage, immersed in the cleaning liquid so that the image on the recording medium is swollen and removed by the image removing mechanism. The image removing mechanism may include a web impregnated with cleaning liquid brought into contact with the recording medium by a roller which may have a built-in heater to cause the printing material on the recording medium to swell and be scraped off by the web.
