Execute
If you anticipate that head cleaning will be done while you are printing
a job due to a notice regarding when to do periodic/auto cleaning that
appeared in the control panel's screen, you can avoid being interrupted
by head cleaning and continue with printing as planned by doing this
in advance.
Doing this also clears the control panel's screen of the notice regarding
when to do regular/auto cleaning.
The notice regarding when to do periodic/auto cleaning may also clear
if you do
Cleaning (Heavy)
.
