Routine printing of small photo to keep heads clean. CanonPro-100

I know that the Canon Pro-100 will run a cleaning cycle if it is unused for 60 hrs. I would like to have a scheduled print job that prints a very small photo every two days. This will use less ink than the cleaning cycles.
There is a program that will do this, along with many other things, but there is a fee of about $60. I don't need the other things. Perhaps there is a way to create a batch file that can be setup to run at regular intervals.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am unaware of a 60-hour cleaning cycle. Do you have a Canon internet reference, or Pro-100 manual page that you can cite?

I read it on the internet, so it must be true. Here is the link, for what it's worth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pig5eCEAmvY&t=51s

I understand that the small cleaning cycle may not use much ink. I would still like to know if there is a way to run a small print job on a regular basis, automatically.
I may be able to write a batch file, or there may be something already available, free.

I don't think mine does that. And sometimes I go weeks without printing!
