Abstract
Improved cleaning stations for use in electrophotographic print engines having cleaning elements which are simple to inspect, remove, clean, and replace. The photoreceptor belt cleaning station is positioned in one frame of the print engine and the photoreceptor medium is positioned in the other frame of the print engine so that the cleaning station is directly accessible when the print engine is open. Also, when the print engine is closed, the photoreceptor medium contacts the cleaning elements at a substantially perpendicular angle resulting in minimum stress to both the photoreceptor medium and the cleaning elements.
