When a Panel Tone Beeps
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
Single short beep Panel/screen input
accepted.
A control panel key was pressed.
2 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.
5 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.
5 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.
• 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. For details, see "Maintenance", Settings.
