Abstract
A carrier for photosensitive sheets of copy paper is cleaned to remove adherent paper particles. The carrier can be an endless belt in which case a cleaning member bears against the lower run of the belt. The carrier can also be a turntable. If the turntable is unable to move horizontally, a cleaning member for the turntable is mounted on a pivotal arm so that the cleaning member can be brought to the turntable. On the other hand, if the turntable is shiftable along a horizontal direction, the cleaning member can be stationary and the turntable is then moved to the cleaning member when the turntable is to be cleaned.
