A cleaning apparatus is used for cleaning the surface of a photoconductive
body. Residual toner on a rotating photoconductive body is collected
after transferring a toner image from the photoconductive body onto a
print medium, the apparatus includes a first cleaning member, a second
cleaning member, and a toner transporting member. The first cleaning
member engages the photoconductive body to brush away the residual toner.
The second cleaning member is disposed downstream of the first cleaning
member with respect to rotation of the photoconductive body. The second
cleaning member scrapes the residual toner off the photoconductive body.
The toner transporting member is disposed between the first cleaning
member and the second cleaning member along a circumferential surface of
the photoconductive body. The toner transporting member is positioned
with a gap between the photoconductive body and the toner transporting
member and transporting the residual toner removed from the
photoconductive body.
