Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009016233A1] The invention describes a method and a device for removing toner deposits from the surface of a cleaning element (36). Electrically charged toner particles (12) are exposed to the alternating electric field of an electrode arrangement (44) which loosens the toner particles (12). A mixture of carrier particles (14) and toner particles (12) transports the loosened toner particles away.
