There is a setting for periodic cleaning you can change. Press <Menu> and scroll down to the <Sub Menu>. Under the Sub Menu you should see an option for <Periodic Cleaning>. You can change this to any interval from 10 mins to 990 minutes. I'd have it set to run once a day in most cases.

thank you chris, but i still have the problem. A few days ago I change the ink (now I use bordeaux in a transparent cartdriges, but after this problem I used Redgiant inks in 440ml cartdriges) I think the problem is in the cartdriges because these news don´t have any chip like redgiants cartdriges) Is it probably??? thankyou for your response. Salute you. Luciano

If you are using a 3rd party ink (without chip) the printer will perform many cleanings to rid itself of the 3rd party ink.

Also, while printing, the machine self-cleans itself so the inks NOT being used won't dry and become clogged.

Thannk you!! tomorrow I go to talk with my technical service to fix this problem with new cartdriges with chip included. Very thank you!! Happy new year from argentina!

Well I have another question...did you have any idea, if I can power off / switch off this type of cleaning by menu/submenu or service mode menu?? thanks

Can I switch off / power off this setting?? Thankyou, Luciano.

Auto cleaning

Yea, Roland added that feature to it's newer firmware. Use carts without chips and it will run cleans until the ink is empty, nice waste of ink and their way of spanking you for not using their ink in your machine. Just put a roland chip off an old cart on and you should be good.

This feature cannot be "switched off". The SP and older models no not have chip readers installed.

It cant be firmware update issue. I have 2 printer both on the latest 4.8 firmware. both using after market inks. 1 does auto cleaning during print and the other doesnt. Could there be another issue?
