A development device includes components such as a housing, a magnetic roll in the housing that moves marking material in the housing, a donor roll in the housing that is positioned to receive the marking material from the magnetic roll, a manifold in the housing, etc. The manifold has a manifold opening positioned to create airflow from the surface of the donor roll. Further, such structures include a seal over the manifold opening. The seal is a component that has a planar linear surface with seal openings that are aligned with the manifold opening. The edge of the housing adjacent the manifold opening is a first distance from the magnetic roll and the edge of the seal is a second, closer distance from the magnetic roll.

An apparatus () useful in printing for charging a photoconductor and for cleaning a scorotron grid is disclosed. The apparatus can include a scorotron frame () and a scorotron charge member () coupled to the scorotron frame, where the scorotron charge member can be configured to generate an electric field. The apparatus can include a scorotron charging grid () coupled to the scorotron frame, the scorotron charging grid having a length axis, a width axis, and a height axis, and the scorotron charging grid including a scorotron charging grid surface having a plurality of openings. The apparatus can include a scorotron charging grid cleaner () coupled to the scorotron charging grid, where the scorotron charging grid cleaner can be configured to travel along the scorotron charging grid length axis and clean the scorotron charging grid. The scorotron charging grid cleaner can include a scorotron charging grid cleaner center and scorotron charging grid cleaner ends at opposite ends from the scorotron charging grid cleaner center along the width axis. The scorotron charging grid cleaner can extend further in a direction of the height axis at the scorotron charging grid cleaner center than at the scorotron charging grid cleaner ends.
