Abstract
An architecture of a fuser subsystem in an electrophotographic printer or copier includes a web which cleans the fuser roll. The web is driven by a mechanism which enables a constant velocity of the web relative to the fuser roll surface without the need of separate motor or controller. The design can further compensate for changes in frictional coefficient between the fuser roll and the web, such as is caused by large deposits of toner collected on the cleaning web.
