Abstract
A squeegee roller cleaning apparatus for a liquid electrophotographic printer includes a plate installed at a tray, parallel to the axial direction of a squeegee roller, under a photoreceptor web to be capable of pivoting. A surface-contact blade member is supported at the plate so as to selectively surface-contact the outer circumferential surface of the squeegee roller. An elastic spring is coupled between the tray and the plate. A device makes the plate pivot such that the surface-contact blade member can contact or be separated from the outer circumferential surface of the squeegee roller.
