My printer makes loud noises during the night, at times. I assume this is some sort of self-maintenance or self-cleaning.  (There were several noises then the scanning light came on.)  But I occasionally sleep in the room where the printer is, and would like to limit that activity to the day-time.  Is there a way I can do that, short of turning off the machine?

Welcome to the HP Forums, this is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that your printer makes loud noise during the night. I would like to help you resolve this issue. 

 

Printer makes loud noise because it runs automatic printer maintenance.

There is no option to schedule the printer maintenance.

I understand you are getting disturbed by its sound, you can turn it off when you sleep in the same room as an alternate option.

 

Let me know if that helps.

Cheers.
