While idle, does this printer make noise to rotate the toner cartridge carousel? Does it sit completely quiet?

When it is idle, it makes some noise but nothing like it does when it fires up to print. Sometimes it quiets down if it hasn't printed for a while, but generally, since it sits right next to me on my desk, its minor motor noise still annoys me. I prefer to shut it off between print jobs.

When it is idle, it doesn't make any noise, it goes into a sleep default mode. It can sit for days without any noise, until I send it a job, then it rumbles awake and makes a lot of noise. When I rotate the carousel, it also makes an inordinate amount of noise as it cycles through each color.

To my experience, this printer goes into energy saving mode and sits quiet.

No more than most other printers. If you need a very quiet printer than this may not work for you.

You can change a setting in the menu to get it to continue to print on an empty cartridge. The manual says you can damage the printer this way but I did it while waiting for new toner to arrive with no problem (and the printouts were fine).

I do not sell the printer, I bought one three years ago. I have had no problems with the printer. It is very reliable and has many capabilities not found on more expensive machines. The machine will say it is low on toner long before the cartridge needs to be replaced. Simply remove the cartridge from the machine, rock it back and forth and side-to-side, then reinstall it. I do not replace cartridges until the copies start getting too light.

No noise with mine other than paper feeding through it. Mine doesn't get hot at all! Only problem I have is getting pages to feed straight.

It is completely silent when stationary but makes a quiet low humming sound when oscillating. I personally am not bothered by it.

Mine does not make any sounds when depressing the key or totaling the sale. The only noise mine makes is the noise the printer makes when it's printing the receipt/journal although it does beep if an error is made.

My wife says: The machine does not make any more or less noise than any other machine she uses. It does make a peculiar noise when powered up to "rehome" the needle to exact center if it is not already there. This is normal, but there is noting in the user manual about this. In general, she thinks that it IS pretty quiet and adds that it is a very good machine. Mike

It's somewhat noisy when printing, but nothing unusual. It prints at a good speed, and then it's quiet again. When not printing, it's completely quiet.

Sorry, I have not had an issue changing toner cartridges, so I'm not sure how to fix it. Did you pull all of the protective plastic tabs off of the cartridges? Try tipping the cartridge back and forth a few times to loosen the toner. One time my printer kept saying the paper was out when it wasn't. I turned off both the printer and the computer and rebooted them. That seemed to fix my problem. Sorry I can't be of more help.

No it pretty quiet but as of last week 12/4/14 I noticed it has stopped working right and skips cycles and sometimes just completely stops working so now I have to check the timer every few hrs to make sure its still working right !! I have had it for about a yr and before that never had a problem

No. This is actually a pretty quiet brewer other than the normal perculating noise. I hope this helps. And it is a gorgeous machine:)

I do not find it to be noisy at all...when you plug it in, there is a startup noise similar to a computer starting...that is all. I love this machine!!!

My machine has developed the same noise. The old machine I had also had a rubbing noise at the flywheel. I have used this machine heavily for the last six months.It still runs fine. I use music to mask the noise. Its not noticable.

No, no noise at all. Nothing automatic, just on or off. Makes great coffee though.

Suzette,this printer IS very noisy. It sounds like it might explode! Besides that...I am really happy with it. The setup was easy and so far no problems.

It does. I accidentally bought the drum first, and of course, there's no toner with the drum. I bought this, shook it gently side to side, forward and back, keeping it on the level, (I worked in a printer test unit, and that's what we did with every printer cartridge), replaced the old cartridge with this one, and it printed. There was smudging on the first one (or two pages), then perfect after that.
