Abstract
An insulative belt having a conductive pattern. A potential difference is applied to the conductive pattern on the insulative belt creating an attractive force that is exerted on the small particles of paper debris. This attractive force holds the paper fibers and paper dust on the insulative belt for subsequent removal, while allowing the cleaned paper sheet to move on through the electrophotographic system.
