Abstract
In an electrostatograhic imaging device of the type forming a multilevel electrostatic latent image on a surface of the imaging member, and developing the multilevel electrostatic latent image with at least two types of toner, and a brush cleaner for removal of toner and debris remaining after transfer of the image to another surface, the brush is maintained in a condition loaded with a first toner type providing abrasive characteristics at the fibers of the brush, for abrading the photoreceptor for removal of toner of said second type.
