    [Misc] Brother MFC 8910DW Beeps when sending print jobs to it

    The copier "beeps" when print jobs are sent to it. No warning message, just a continuous beep to the end of the printing cycle. I turned off the beeper but that didn't help. It seems to happen from certain workstations more than others (if that makes sense) Anyone seen this before ?Thanks so much for any help !!

    If the machine's speaker is turned off, then the machine cannot make a beep. It is likely the machine is connected to a battery back up. IT SHOULD NOT BE.
    is it the battery backup making the noise

      hmmm... Yesterday I actually disconnected the speaker from the main board and so far I haven't heard back from them. I will have to check that.... It just seems to happen when they are printing to it (from what they say) specific workstations. I realize that is unlikely. I have duplicated the beep once. Very Strange... The beep actually sounded like it was coming directly from the main board although the actual speaker is on the other side... I didn't see a battery back-up but it may be there.... Thanks for your feedback... Very appreciated !!

        Do the work stations that cause that problem have the correct driver installed?
        As I've never worked on Brother equipment, I am the least of all people to give suggestions here. But I've seen enough driver problems that I thought I should at least ask.

          I didn't get a chance to check that out but that sure would fit I believe. So far I haven't heard back from the customer since disconnecting the speaker. I will let you know if I get a call back.... Thanks so much !!
