A cleaning system and process for removing residual toner from an imaging surface,
including a primary cleaner system for removing the predominant amount of residual
toner and debris and a retractable secondary agglomeration cleaning blade mounted
downstream from the primary cleaner, wherein, when the blade is moved into the
engaged position, the cleaning edge is engaged with the imaging surface at for
shearing release of agglomerations from the imaging surface and wherein the cleaning
blade is movable to the retracted position during periods in which the primary
cleaner is in its operative position.
