TONER REMOVING MECHANISM AND SHEET TYPE MEDIUM REGENERATING DEVICE HAVING TONER REMOVING MECHANISM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the toner removing effect of an OHP sheet and to prevent the surface of the OHP sheet from being damaged by disposing a toner removing auxiliary member between a blade and a sheet type medium. ;SOLUTION: The blade 21 is supported by an LM guide 22. Its surfaces on a side opposed to a drum 20, its upper surface and lower surface, are covered with the toner removing auxiliary member, for example, a toner scraping sheet 23 formed of synthetic leather like a long sheet having width longer than the length of the blade 21. The sheet 23 is interposed over the entire width direction so as to come in contact with the blade 21 by a clamper 24 arranged in a state where the blade 21 is covered therewith from above and below. Then the sheet 23 is periodically fed and its part coming in contact with the printing surface 19 of the OHP sheet 17 is replaced with a part to which toner 18 does not adhere, so that the lowering of the toner removing effect is prevented and the already removed toner is prevented from adhering again.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO
