Users cannot mute the machine's beep alerts the machine is currently making. When the machine beeps 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 beep alert might continue, even after normal status has resumed.
You can change the sound type and volume. For details about Sound, see "DEVICE", Connecting the Machine/ System Settings.
