Every few cycles my 1200 printer makes what can only be described as 
a loud grinding noise after printing when the heads are on their way 
back to the pad.  If I run a nozzle check immediately afterwards it 
is awful, but one or two cleaning cycles has cleared it up to this 
point.  Anyone know if I need to make an adjustment of some sorts or 
is the printer telling me to think about a 1280?

This is a matter of routine maintenance. Try cleaning away the build-up on
the shiny bar that carries the printer head back and forth. It might look
clean, but it probably isn't.

I use a little windex on a towel. I finish with a drop of good quality
sewing machine oil.

Oil the rail the head rides on - quick!   Hope it's not too late.
