Wire-wrapped grooved rollers for cleaning action using brush-like system

An electrode wire assembly module operatively associated with a development zone comprising:

• a plurality of wires;
• a stringing system configured to arrange said wires into a plurality of elongated wires with adjacent wires being spaced from and substantially parallel to one another;
• and
• a drive system configured to translate portions of the wires in the associated development zone, and the drive system including a grooved roller configured to position the plurality of wires within a cleaning zone as the grooved roller rotates, the cleaning zone including a cleaning device fixed to the wire assembly module and the cleaning device configured to remove toner from the plurality of wires as the grooved roller rotates and transports the wires through the cleaning zone, wherein the grooved roller includes one or more continuous helix shaped grooves to transport the wire from a first longitudinal position of the grooved roller to a second longitudinal position of the grooved roller,
• wherein the wire assembly module is configured to electrically bias said wires to detach toner from an associated donor member so as to form a toner powder cloud in the associated development zone.

A printing system comprising:

• a latent image recorded on a surface;
• a housing defining a chamber storing a supply of toner therein;
• a donor member disposed at least partially in the chamber of said housing and spaced from the surface, said donor member being configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis to transport toner to a development zone, the development zone including a region opposed from the latent image recorded on the surface;
• and
• a wire assembly mounted in the development zone and extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis, said wire assembly including a wire and a drive system configured to translate portions of the wire in the development zone, and the wire assembly configured to electrically bias said wire to detach toner from said donor member so as to form a toner cloud developing the latent image, said wire assembly further includes a stringing system configured to arrange said wire into a plurality of wires with adjacent wires being spaced from and substantially parallel to one another, the drive system including a grooved roller configured to position the plurality of wires within a cleaning zone as the grooved roller rotates, the cleaning zone including a cleaning device configured to remove toner from the plurality of wires as the grooved roller rotates and transports the wires through the cleaning zone, wherein the grooved roller includes one or more continuous helix shaped grooves to transport the wire from a first longitudinal position of the grooved roller to a second longitudinal position of the grooved roller.
