A method and structure for an image processing apparatus that includes an image
bearing surface adapted to receive electrostatically charged toner, a cleaning
brush adapted to remove waste particles from the image bearing surface, a detone
roller adapted to remove the waste particles from the cleaning brush, and a speed
controller adapted to maintain a rotational speed of the cleaning brush above a
minimum speed below which the waste particles would not be removed from the image
bearing surface and below a maximum speed above which the waste particles would
be thrown from the cleaning brush.
