Abstract (en)

An apparatus (48) in which residual toner is removed from a photoconductive surface (10) after the transfer of a developed liquid image from the surface to a copy sheet. A porous roll (56) or belt (96) is employed to disturb the residual toner and detach it from the surface. Suction or electrical forces, cooperating with the porous roll or belt, attract the detached toner thereto for removal from the photoconductive surface.
