This SP is used to set the threshold value that triggers Auto Cleaning.
The nozzle condition can deteriorate over time caused by ink that starts to cling to the
nozzles and accumulate inside the suction caps of the maintenance unit. Paper dust can
accumulate and interfere with the operation of the nozzles. Periodic automatic cleanings
execute while the printer is in use, and greatly extend the length of time the machine can
be used with operator intervention. This mist threshold can be extended to increase the
timing between automatic cleanings.
• The count is automatically adjusted for the width of the paper and total print area.
• For example, the count for very wide paper is much lower that the count for
narrower paper because of the difference in the total area covered.
