Sounds from a Smart Tank 580

[Johnnie99]

When my new HP Smart Tank 580 is printing, the sound from the printer (in addition to the usual sounds) starts on one note, then moves to the 4th note above and then completes the octave. It probably comes from the printing mechanism; and it doesn't seem to affect the print quality or speed or anything.

It's not a problem unless it means something; the printer is excellent.

Is this usual? Does it signify anything?
