[QUOTE="David Nisson, post: 211748, member: 11401"] Hello, I just bought a Brother MFC-J985DW all-in-one. So far I have quite enjoyed using it, but I like to read through manuals of products, including troubleshooting sections, within the first few days of purchasing them so that I can get to know how to use the features of the machine for when I want to use them, and to minimize how long it takes me to troubleshoot problems when they arise. I was looking at the troubleshooting entry for the message "Ink Absorber Pad Full" and buried in there is a statement that "frequently powering the machine on and off will cause numerous cleaning cycles since [I]the machine automatically cleans upon power up[/I]". I found the italicized statement a little disturbing. I do not leave machines powered on overnight while I'm sleeping, owing to the possibility of a fire starting while I'm asleep and not there to put it out. I bought this printer for its advertised high page yields and ink economy. Automatically running a cleaning cycle every single day when I turn it on seems like not only an unnecessary waste of ink, but a needless burden on the absorber pad that could cause it to fill up more quickly and require servicing. The number of cleaning cycles the absorber pad can handle is not stated anywhere in the manual, and there is no recommendation as to [I]how[/I] frequently the machine should be powered on and off. I always leave the machine plugged in, avoiding [I]that[/I] reason for cleaning, but I would like to see if anyone knows how many power cycles it takes to fill up the absorber pad because of this automatic cleaning program. I do not want to have to take the machine in for service, especially if it's not covered under warranty. [/QUOTE]
