Abstract (en)
The device for fixing a toner image carried on a substrate (10), comprises a heated fuser roller (12) in contact with a reaction surface (14) to form a nip (16) there-between through which a substrate path (18) extends. A cleaning device comprises an intermediate roller (50) in rolling contact with the heated fuser roller (12) downstream of the nip (16) to collect residual toner particles and debris from the heated fuser roller (12) . Cleaning means (52) remove the toner particles and debris from the intermediate roller (50). The residual toner and paper debris do not contaminate any supply of release agent in order to ensure that a consistent supply of release agent to the heated fuser roller is achievable. Furthermore, any excess release agent supplied to the heated fuser roller is removed without allowing it to become transferred onto the substrate. <IMAGE>
