All this means is that the printer is designed to waste ink at regular intervals so you don't have to waste the ink all at once prior to printing.
This is more than likely essentially what the Canons already do anyway. They wake up every so often, agitate the inks, and I've even seen my run a nozzle check all by itself after it woke itself up.
The best thing I have found is just make sure to do a print every 2 days. If I wait till 3, it sometimes wants to do a clean cycle which just wastes more ink than the amount I would use to run an 8x10 or so through. Of course if you are going to be away, then this is hard to do, but othewise, load up a 10 inch roll of paper and just run a print through every 2 days and you will be much better off.
