Abstract
An electrophotographic copying machine comprises a cleaning device for cleaning at least the tip of a separation claw used for separating a copy paper from a photoreceptor. The separation claw is pivotably moved between a first position of separating the copy paper and a second position cleaning by the cleaning device. The cleaning device may also be operated to clean a transport device for transporting the copy paper toward a subsequent portion of the apparatus, such as a fixing device.
