Beep Alert

This section describes the different types of beep patterns that alert the users to the machine conditions.

Beep pattern	Meaning	Cause
Single short beep	Panel/screen input accepted.	A key on the control or display panels was pressed.
Short, then long beep	Panel/screen input rejected.	An invalid key was pressed 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 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 beep alerts. For details, see Panel Key Sound in "System Settings", General Settings Guide.
