Single long beep	Job completed successfully.	A Copier/Document Server job has finished.
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	An auto reset was performed through the simplified display of the Copier/Document Server function or the Scanner function.
Five long beeps repeated four times.	Soft alert	A paper tray is empty.
