Automatic cleaning is performed every time before printing starts.
INTERVAL (JOB)
Automatic cleaning is performed when the cumulative printing time
reaches the value you set here. However, if this time is reached during
printing, automatic cleaning is performed before the next printing
operation starts. Because printing is not paused, uneven color issues
due to paused operation do not occur.
INTERVAL (TIME)
Automatic cleaning is performed when the cumulative printing time
reaches the value you set here. When this time is reached during
printing, printing pauses and so colors may be uneven.

Description
In the following cases, ink tends to collect on the surface of the print heads. Under some conditions, this ink
may be transferred to the media or cause dot drop-out.
When you use media prone to static electricity buildup.
When the ambient temperature is low.
When the print head height is set to “HIGH.”
If "PAGE," "INTERVAL (JOB)," or "INTERVAL (TIME)" is selected, ink buildup is removed before or during printing.
Note, however, that using these settings results in longer printing times.
