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.

Image quality of an image generated by a xerographic or equivalent image generating process may develop non-uniform charge characteristics, in addition to other negative effects, as a result of positive over-spray, but these negative effects can be at least attenuated by exposure of the photoreceptor to fluorescent light.
