I have a Brother MFC-255CW printer that works fine. I keep it in my bedroom and occasionally it will initiate a print head cleaning in the middle of the night. Obviously that isn't desirable. Is there any way to make it only do this during the daytime?
Is this a good question?

Look through the settings. There should be a maintenance section and it should have a section about auto maintenance or auto cleaning. Best of luck!

Thanks for trying Keven. What you suggested makes complete sense. However, there isn't any discussion about auto cleaning/maintenance in the manual. I've even tried going thru all of the menu options on the printer, but nothing is obvious there either.
Hi Eric,
I have the exact same printer & the EXACT same problem you do, with the machine waking me up in the middle of the night! While I love my Brother Printer, I too have come to a dead end on getting this issue resolved. I'll continue to research it & let you know if I discover a solution. In the meantime, I've checked and updated the Date & Time settings, in the hopes the automatic maintenance function moves to a more suitable "daytime shift!" Thanks for your original uploaded question...... John
While you cannot change when the cleaning happens, you can change the date at time on your printer. Maybe switch the am/pm and it will clean in the middle of the day instead.

I also sometimes unplug/turn off the printer before bed.
