Digital BW, The Print

I was just doing a little hovering over my printer, a 4800, and notice a
slight ticking sound. It looks like it is caused by the ink lines hitting
the front body of the printer when the head is returning to the right. Ain't
no big deal. If that is what is causing you sound, you might try a small
piece of foam on the printer body/chaise and prevent the lines from hitting
the edge.

Well... I looked inside the printer with a flashlight with the cover up as
it was printing and 
could not see what was causing the noise. I think perhaps it was happening
each time the 
paper advanced. In any event, the sound has now mysteriously stopped and I
have made 
many prints and smaller test prints without any noise.

On another note:

Does any know if this printer does a cleaning cycle EVERY time the machine
is turned on? Or 
are all those startup machinations / gyrations doing something else?
