Abstract:
A method of minimizing cleaning apparatus induced motion quality disturbances in a moving belt photoreceptor of a toner image reproduction machine, the method comprising the steps of:a. providing at a desired belt cleaning station, a resilient member behind and to each side of the moving belt photoreceptor; b. mounting at the cleaning. station, a cleaning apparatus including at least one separately moveable cleaning member, and a moveable frame having frame locating members and supporting the at least one separately moveable cleaning member; c. first moving the moveable frame towards the moving belt photoreceptor and the resilient member to each side; d. next contacting each of the locating members of the moveable frame to the resilient member; and e. then separately moving, relative to the moveable frame, the at least one separately moveable cleaning member into cleaning contact with the moving belt photoreceptor, thereby minimizing cleaning apparatus induced motion quality disturbances in the moving belt photoreceptor.
