IPF9000 head cleaning menu confusing ("Right/Left" vs "A/B")

[priusjames]

Canon iPF 9000, been running great since I removed the print heads and spent a weekend cleaning them both by hand...recently, as it starts to print, I get a message that seems more of a suggestion than a warning or error. "Clean Right Print Head, choose OK to proceed". Pushing OK starts printing.

So...the machine tells me "Right Print Head needs to be cleaned" When I go to the printhead cleaning screen in the onboard menu, it has two options..."A' and "B"...that's not "right/left".


Does Cleaning "A": clean the left head and "B" the right, or are these two power cleaning levels that do both heads?


Something else?


I can't figure out how to clean the right print head without removing it completely and manually cleaning it (which I'm tired of doing all the time)...please explain.


Thanks


Jim

FYI "A" is light cleaning, "B" is heavy cleaning.
