Turn Quiet Mode on or off

Quiet Mode slows the printer and dampens the noise. Turn it on for a sleeping household, off when speed matters.

01 · Identify — does this match what you see?

  • Printer is loud at night
  • Printing is slow and you suspect Quiet Mode
  • You want quieter operation

02 · Resolve — follow in order

  1. 1

    On the panel, go to Menu → General Setup → Ecology → Quiet Mode.

  2. 2

    Choose On to slow and quiet the printer, or Off for normal speed.

  3. 3

    Confirm with OK and print a test page.

  4. 4

    Note: Quiet Mode roughly doubles print time — turn it off for multi-page jobs.

  5. 5

    On some models, Quiet Mode also dims the cooling fan, so the printer stays warm longer.

Pro tip

Draft + Quiet Mode together is almost silent but quite slow. Use it for late-night single-page jobs, then switch both off for daytime batches.
