The following table describes various beep patterns that the printer produces to alert users about printer conditions and the meaning of each beep pattern.
Beep pattern |
Meaning |
Causes |

Two long beeps |

When the power is turned on or the printer exits Sleep mode, the printer has fully warmed up and is ready for use. |
Five long beeps repeated four times. |
Soft alert |
An error message appears on the control panel if there is no tray for the selected paper size or the tray is empty. |
Five short beeps repeated five times. |
Strong alert |
The printer requires user attention because paper has jammed, the toner needs replenishing, or other problems have occurred. |
Beep alerts cannot be muted. If the printer's covers are opened and closed repeatedly within a short space of time during an alert indicating a paper jam or insufficient toner, a beep alert might continue, even after normal status has resumed.
You can enable or disable beep alerts. For details, see:
