How can we reduce the noise of HP 4515 printer operation? -

We have started getting these printers and when we put them in small offices they are noticeably noisy - an quot;quiet modequot; or similar settings?

Unfortunately, No, there is no quot;quietquot; mode available on these. Keep in mind that this is a high speed 62 page per minute laser printer. The faster printers get, the more noise they are likely to produce. Combined with the fact that these are very compact printers printing at a very fast speed, the case being plastic and there is basically no sound deadening material inside, these printers will produce more sound compared to a slower machine. I think these are expected to be used in high volume offices that have printer/copy rooms, or where noise is not much of an issue and they are isolated away from offices and users. There is really no easy and aesthetic way to quiet these in a small office environment that you ve described without enclosing them in an acoustic enclosure (which reduces accessibility and potential cooling problems) or in a separate room. Best of luck.

do see that printer head moving bar lubricated correctly.
