Perform head cleaning only when there is dot drop-out (gaps) or printing becomes faint.
Performing head cleaning more than necessary subjects the heads to wear and consumes ink. In particular, cleaning performed
at the [POWERFUL] menu for [HEAD CLEANING] can cause premature head wear and consume large amounts of ink.
