Constant print head cleaning done by the printer that uses almost 1 Ink Stix of each color every 24 hrs which is the longest time setabel from the control panel. I bought this printer after all of my privies solid ink printers have finely died. I have had the best Ink per page cost of any printer out there but this constant print head cleaning is costing me a min of $55.89 with each print head cleaning that I cannot stop. It is killing me.

What you can try is going onto the Xerox.com site and loading what is call Jet Substitution it will change the ports being used.
That could help.
Load it to your laptop and then run. Sometimes helps.
Unfortunatly that is a very expensive print head.

You need to run the eliminate light stripes. it should be in the menu, under troubleshooting, print quality issues. you can run this up to 3 times. you want the run the basic light stripes, not the advanced. If after 3 times running this, you are still missing jets, your printhead is bad. If you are using aftermarket ink, media sciences might cover the repair, if not, the printhead costs as much as a new machine. about $650+labor.

Hello, I am the person that Has/Had the problem with my XeroxDP with the Constent Printer Cleaning its own Print Head every 24 Hours on its own without any interjection on my part. I have been having this issue for over 8.5 Months. I got an email from a person in England UK, and he has had this repair problem in the past as he said that it is not very often but not one that is seen with any error codes nor anything eltz other than a slight Black smearing on the Light Strips printout page. All of the lite Strips printouts were complete with no missing nor any particle Strips. You can go through the Delete all repair issues, Media James and all other repair issues and then reset the NVRAM. All of this is done on machines with high page counts. I had tried all of these to no avail many times. As I said that it was only after this Printer repair place in England sent me an email is that the Printer stopped doing this continuous Print Head Cleaning. He did not suggest this as a repair but said straight out "Replace the Print Head!" I asked if it had to be a new or could it be a used one and he said it was up to my purse as to the money that I wanted to spend but it did not matter. I did what he said and I have not had any ink using issues any more for over 2 months now. The Light stripes page is a very clean and crisp print out also. This Person knew more than Xerox themselves because I had called them also in all of this trying to repair this issue also. Thank You for all of your suggestions as to what to do to repair this problem.
