Alert Sounds
The following table describes various beep patterns that the machine produces to alert users about machine conditions and the meaning of each beep pattern.
Beep pattern | Meaning | Causes |
|---|---|---|
A short beep | Panel/screen input accepted. | A control panel key was pressed. |
A short beep, followed by long beep | Input is invalid. | An invalid key was pressed, or an incorrect password was entered. |
Two long beeps | Machine has warmed up. | When the power is turned on or the machine exits Sleep mode, the machine has fully warmed up and is ready for use. |
Five long beeps (repeating 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 (repeating five times) | Strong alert | The machine requires user attention because paper has jammed, the toner needs replenishing, or other problems have occurred. |
Beep alerts cannot be muted. If the machine'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.
