This section describes the different types of beep patterns.

Short, then long beep.	Panel/screen input rejected.	An invalid key was pressed key on the control or display panels, or the entered password was incorrect.
Two long beeps.	Machine is ready for use.	The machine has fully warmed up or has revived from Energy Saver mode and is ready for use.
Five long beeps.	Soft alert.	The initial screen returns when the machine goes into Energy Saver mode.
Five long beeps repeated four times.	Soft alert.	A paper tray is empty.
Five short beeps repeated five times.	Strong alert.	The machine requires user attention because paper has jammed, the toner needs replenishing, or other problems have occurred.

You cannot stop the beeping. If covers are opened and closed repeatedly when clearing paper jams or adding toner, beeping might continue even after the machine has returned to normal status.
You can specify to enable or disable panel tone. For details, see Panel Key Sound in "System Settings", Network and System Settings Guide.
