Abstract: A pair of cleaning apparatuses for a liquid electrophotographic printer that can completely remove to residual toner from both a photo receptor belt and a transfer roller, respectively. Each cleaning apparatus is supplied with a liquid solvent used to dissolve toner remaining on the transfer roller and the photo receptor belt after a printing operation. Each of the pair of cleaning apparatuses can engage and disengage to and from the photo receptor belt and the transfer roller respectively upon user actuation or entry of a sheet of recording media into the electrophotographic printing apparatus. Each cleaning apparatus contains in rectangular felt material soaked with solvent positioned to mate with the surfaces of the photo receptor belt and the transfer roller.

Abstract: Recirculating feeders, operatively connected to a copier, can operate in collate or noncollate modes, i.e. produce collated or noncollated output copies. In the noncollate mode of operation, the recirculating feeder acts in a similar manner as a conventional document feeder. When an operator places only a single original document in the recirculating feeder and, mistakenly, the feeder and copier are in the collate mode of operation, the apparatus will automatically determine that there is only a single original document in the recirculating feeder and transfer the mode of operation from collate to noncollate.

Abstract: A collating document feeder with a multiple-feed detector for use on a convenience copier. The feeder circulates the document sheets one-after-another for presentation to the copier once, and recirculates the sheets one-after-another for presentation to the copier again, thereby to present the sheets for copying in an order that facilitates collation of the final copies. The multiple-feed detector compares the number of presentations during circulation with the number of presentations during recirculation, to detect the occurrence of multiple feeds. The number of presentations can be determined, for example, by counting the number of exposures, or the number of times document sheets are fed.
