ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for scanning and cleaning computer printout ribbons is provided with an electromagnetic clutch drive which facilitates connection and reversal of direction of the motor drives for transporting the ribbon in a forward or reverse direction of travel. This increases the production rate of the apparatus. Also, a magnetic means is provided to remove metal particles from the ribbon in combination with a vacuum means which uses suction to clean lint, dirt and other foreign matter from the ribbon as it travels from a supply chuck means to a take up chuck means.
