What step in the copy process removes residual toner from the OPC drum surface and recycles the toner?

The step in the copy process that removes residual toner from the OPC drum surface and recycles the toner is called the "cleaning" phase. During this phase, a cleaning blade or brush sweeps across the drum to remove any leftover toner after the image has been transferred to the paper. This residual toner is then collected and sent back to the toner cartridge for recycling, ensuring efficient use of materials.
