ON: PERIODICALLY

—The printer periodically checks its nozzles 

and runs a cleaning cycle if necessary (default).

ON: EVERY JOB

—The printer automatically checks its nozzles 

and runs a cleaning cycle if necessary before each print job. This 
process uses a very small amount of ink (and no paper) and is 
recommended if you are running large print jobs unattended.

You can run several types of cleaning cycles from the control panel (or from 
the Epson LFP Remote Panel2): normal cleaning, power cleaning, and 
cleaning each pair of ink colors.

Run the power cleaning only if the normal cleaning process is not sufficient 
to clear the nozzles. The power cycle uses a large quantity of ink, so it is 
recommended only as a last resort.

The cartridges need to be at least 50% full to use power cleaning. You may 
need to replace a low cartridge to run the cleaning cycle. After cleaning, you 
can reinsert the old cartridge.

1. Print a nozzle check to make sure the print head needs cleaning, as 

described on page 154.
