Yes, this hints that it is an air bubble, not a true clog, and needs 
to settle out overnight. It is also telling you are running FAR too 
many cleaning cycles.

Doing head cleanings more than about two or three makes the problem 
WORSE. I know it's counter-intuitive. There are many tricks- search 
here and inkjetmall and MIS site for tips- just don't try to remove 
the head as is suggested on MIS page. What I would recomend first is 
putting a few drops of alcohol or windex or Fantastik on the parking 
pad in the right corner (it looks like  a tiny ink pad) and turning 
machine off overnight. This is the best and the first step. Doing 
cleaning cycles can actually hurt the chance of clearing a clog.

I could go on for hours with tricks, but try this for now.
