I don't think it coats the whole sheet of paper when set to auto as with the number of prints I made, it surly would have run out or at least given the low ink warning as 3 others did.

The specific way this works in the Pro-1000 is as follows. Applies only to gloss, semi gloss, luster media. You may either clear coat the entire page including margins, or only to areas that have some level of contrast the printer can detect.  In this case white and near white areas are not coated. You select the option in Print Studio Pro. It is not meant primarily for dealing with gloss differential though it contributes to mitigating it if you coat the whole page. The main intent is to optimize chroma as the name implies.

Could you expand on that please? What is it about chroma that needs optimising and why does it depend on the gloss-level of the paper?

It's part of the ink system intended to help expand the dynamic range of colours on relevant media.

On a possibly related note,  Does anyone know why the Pro 1000 has been unavailable for sale at B&H for the past 2-3 weeks?

I can imagine that if they've had to supply a bunch of machines to replace the recalls, that would drain stocks. Out of stock at Digitphoto in France also.
