An agitator for agitating particles such as toner particles in an electrophotographic printer includes a stirring member having an elongated longitudinal member. Vanes are attached to the longitudinal member and form a gap therebetween. When the longitudinal member is caused to move within a cavity, the vanes act to clear toner particles from an area within the cavity associated with a sensor.

Agitator for toner supply system having cleaning attachment

An apparatus which cleans a photoconductive surface having residual charged particles of opposite polarities thereon. Oppositely electrically biased cleaning brushes remove particles from the photoconductive surface with each brush being located in the chamber of a different housing with each housing electrically biased to the same magnitude and polarity as the brush located within the housing. The particles are then attracted from the cleaning brushes to electrically biased detoning rolls.
