Abstract
The invention is directed towards a web cleaning system which is used in a xerographic reproduction machine to simultaneously clean the surface of a photoreceptor and of a fuser roll. The fuser roll is of the type having an elastomer coating requiring application of a silicone oil. The web cleaning system performs a third function by applying a predetermined amount of oil from an oil donor web onto the side of the web which cleans the fuser roll surface. In a further aspect of the invention, the web cleaning components are mounted in a customer replaceable unit (CRU) for convenient removal.
