    C658 tick like a clock ?

    C658 very low meter under 50k has started ticking sound from back area when idle. Are there settings to stop it from turning anything when idle?

    The device will rotate the fuser when idle which can cause sound.

    Set the sleep timer to say 1 minute this should stop this sound once the device is in sleep.

      Very common issue. Especially on lower volume machines. The clicking noise is usually caused by the fuser bearings / bushings or with the 658 it could be the fuser cleaning roller assembly but that usually causes a squealing noise (metal to metal).
      Since fuser is very easy to remove, take off fuser side covers and bottom cover to inspect the cleaning assembly and rotate fuser to pinpoint noise.
