Printer Makes Unusual Noises
The following characteristics define this type of problem:
■ The printer makes unusual noises or makes more noises than usual either while idle or
while printing.
■ The printer generates printed sheets without a problem.
■ The control panel does not display an error code.
The following procedure guides you through multiple actions that may solve this problem. Pro-
ceed one step at a time until the problem is solved. You may not need to complete the entire pro-
cedure. If one of the steps in this procedure corrects the problem but the identical problem
returns in less than 50 prints, call for service.
1. Turn the printer off and open all of the printer access covers. Inspect the interior of the
printer for pieces of paper or obviously broken components that could be causing the
noise. Remove any paper that you find. If you see a broken component, call for service.
Broken and dangling components or scraps of paper lodged inside the printer may be
brushing against moving parts and causing the noise.
2. Inspect the fan outlets for broken grills or objects stuck in the fans. Remove any objects
from the fan grill. If you see a broken grill or cover, call for service.
An object or part of a broken fan grill may be brushing against the fan and causing the
noise. A broken fan grill is a potential safety hazard and should be replaced.
3. Call your service technician.
This problem may be caused by a malfunctioning or broken component that requires ser-
vice.
