5 long beeps repeated four times. |

Sound of Urgent Level |
The machine requires user attention because paper has jammed, the toner needs replenishing, or other problems have occurred. |
Users cannot mute the beeping sound of alert the machine is currently making. When the machine is making the beeping sound to alert users of a paper jam or toner request, if the machine's covers are opened and closed repeatedly within a short space of time, the beeping sound might continue, even after normal status has resumed.
You can change the sound type and volume. For details about Sound, see "DEVICE", Device Management.
