Abstract
A system for cleaning a media transport device includes a cleaning substrate sized and configured to fit within at least a portion of a media travel pathway of the transport device. The cleaning substrate includes scarifying holes that scrape debris from media conveyors (belts and/or rollers) of the transport device. Cleaning the transport device may include positioning the cleaning substrate in the section while operating the transport device, or moving the substrate so that the scarifying holes contact the cleaning substrate and clean the belts and/or rollers.
