Panel Tone

The following table explains the meaning of the various beep patterns that the printer alerts to users about its conditions.

Beep pattern	Meaning	Cause
Two long beeps.	Printer has warmed up.	After cooling or being switched on, the printer has fully warmed up and is ready for use.
Single short beep.	Panel/ screen input accepted.	A control panel or screen key was pressed. Single short beeps are produced only when valid keys are pressed.
Single long beep.	Job completed.	A Printer/ Document Server Features job has finished.
Five long beeps.	Soft alert.	The screen is changing back to the initial screen after the printer came out of the energy-saving mode or was reset.
Five short beeps repeated five time.	Strong alert.	Printer requires user attention. Paper might have jammed or toner might need replenishing.

Users cannot mute the printer's beep alerts. When the printer beeps to alert users of a paper jam or toner request, if the printer's covers are opened and closed repeatedly within a short space of time, the beep alert might continue, even after normal status has resumed.
