Electrostatographic apparatus with cleaning device for controlling release oil transfer

Abstract

An electrostatographic reproduction apparatus comprising: a primary imaging member for forming a toner image, a fuser assembly containing a fusing member and a pressure member for fixing the toner image to a receiver, a release oil device for delivering release oil to the fusing member of the fuser assembly, an intermediate transfer member for receiving the toner image from the primary imaging member, and a receiver transport member for transporting the toner image from the intermediate transfer member to the fuser assembly. The receiver transport member has a surface energy from about 14 ergs/cm2 to about 35 ergs/cm2. The apparatus further includes a cleaning device that is associated with the receiver transport member and includes a fabric material capable of removal of residual release oil from the receiver transport member.
