An apparatus for controlling velocity variations in a belt wrapped about at least a first driven roller and a support structure, including a drive for driving the first driven roller so as to provide torque to the belt; and a dampener, in contact with the belt, for minimizing variations of the velocity of the belt, the dampener including a power supply for applying an electrical bias to generate a drag force on the belt.

A rotating cleaning brush positioned to clean toner and debris from the back of an imaging belt. Additionally, a plurality of cleaning brushes assembled to clean the back of the imaging belt wherein charging a first and a second brush to approximately equal potential but opposite polarity provides superior discharge of static and other electrical charges from the back of the imaging belt.

A rotary, multi-bladed cleaner provides increased life expectancy, up to 15-25 times the life of a single blade cleaner. Such a cleaner has been found to be highly reliable due to its ability to frequently change brush surfaces and by provision of a redundant system that enables multiple blades to contact the surface to be cleaned at once. The blade cleaner has a paddle-wheel type cross-sectional shape with a plurality of radially extending blades spaced around the periphery thereof. The blades are spaced to be closely adjacent one another such that one and preferably two or more blades contact the residual image at one time. The rotary blade cleaner is preferably rotated at a slow rotation rate with the blades being in contact for only a limited time before being displaced by the next blade(s). Such a rotary cleaner is particularly suited for cleaning residual toners and inks from a photoreceptive surface.

A cleaning blade is provided incorporating fiber fillers oriented in a single direction in an elastomeric matrix. In use, the cleaning blade is mounted for cleaning operation in a manner orienting the fiber fillers generally parallel to process direction. The material thereby provided is resistant to damage, and is relatively stiff in the process direction, while relatively conformable in the lateral direction.

A surface layer on an imaging member has a surface roughness which reduces the force necessary for blade cleaning, reduces blade edge truck, reduces blade/substrate friction, inhibits the formation of toner-type deposits on the imaging surface, and/or reduces or eliminates light interference patterns resulting from coherent light, for example, from a raster output scanner.

A magnetic brush apparatus which minimizes the escape of toner and/or carrier particles by means of a magnetic field shaping device which minimizes the presence of magnetic lines of force projecting axially outward from the magnetic brush rollers. Examples of magnetic field shaping devices are a piece of ferro-magnetic material and a magnetic field shaping magnet.

A cleaning system for increasing the packing density of a cleaner sump that uses magnetic toner, by filling unused sump space. The cleaning system uses a magnetic force to attract the magnetic waste toner to the sump area not filled by gravity assistance alone. The magnetic force is created by a magnet. The magnet can be either internal to the sump or external thereto.
