I recently rearranged my cubicle and had to unplug all the hardware.  Upon setting up all-in-one in a new location, there is a piercing tone that sounds with time I print or copy.  How do I turn this off?  My co-workers will thank you profusely!

 

We use Microsoft Windows 10 Pro version 1903

Most common cause of this issue is plugging your printer into a UPS and overloading the UPS. Second most common cause is cheap 3rd party cartridges where the drum in the cartridge howls or vibrates. As you say tone, I lean towards you accidently plugging into your UPS.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by giving kudos and marking my post as an accepted solution.

You are a genius!  Wasn't paying attention to the guy who physically did the work and didn't realize he had plugged the printer into my battery backup.  I and my co-workers thank you!!!!
