If so, what the machine is also doing in addition to what the other posters have mentioned is performing a cold start up (key is you turned it on after it being off overnight). This includes doing a full color calibration and alignment self check, which explains why it takes so much time and also why it comes on and sounds like it is going to do a print. (In essence, it is because it is putting down alignment marks on the belt and then reading them). All this is essential to keeping good quality prints coming out and is normal behavior although 10 minutes seems a bit long to me although if you include the time the machine probably spends processing the information about the toner bottle, I could see it taking that long.
The 400 is an older printer and the newer ones are a lot faster when it comes to warm up and calibration, etc.
