This printer carries out Automatic Periodical Cleaning to ensure that the printer maintains optimum print quality at all times. This setting will use ink during the cleaning sequences.
If you want to only clean the print head by manually selecting cleaning, you can turn this setting off through the printer driver. This setting will save ink but you will need to clean the print head manually when necessary.
To turn the setting to off, select 'Maintenance' from the MP-21C series group in Windows.
✒ Note
When you carry out cleaning 3 times within one hour by using the printer clean button, the third clean will become a 'Power Clean'.
