Abstract
A cleaning station for a fusing member has first and second cleaner rollers. The first cleaner roller is coated with a sticky or adhesive first toner layer. The first toner layer contacts the fuser member for cleaning. The second cleaner roller is coated with a sticky or adhesive second toner layer. The second toner layer is in contact with the first toner layer. The second cleaner roller defines apertures connecting to an internal reservoir. Excess toner from the second toner layer collects in the internal reservoir.
