Why Is My Brother Hl 3075cw Printer Beeping?

Greetings. "The printer is not capable of producing an audible beeping sound."

The word on this further suggests, that your UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), that the laser printer is presumably plugged into, is beeping to signify the power drain of the printer upon it... and that may mean that the UPS is not plugged into a working power outlet, and is thus having a draw made upon its battery, whenever you print (laser printing, by the way, is a power-intensive process, the printer uses much more power while printing than while idle.)

I don't know whether to stand behind this statement, for I don't have quite enough experience with the HL line to be quite sure of this. But this is definitely Brother International's official word on the subject.

I would certainly advise you to find out where the printer is plugged in, for its power, and make sure that that device or box (if there is one) is itself plugged into a working outlet that is not switched off nor disabled by a circuit breaker being tripped (due to power overload presumably.)

And Brother's suggestion that you not power a laser printer through a UPS box may be correct... the power draw may be too much for a modest UPS device, thus the beeping may signify sheer power overload / overdraw. A power strip with surge protection is highly recommended; it is best not to plug the laser directly into a power outlet. Power fluctuations could ruin your expensive laser printer in a very costly fashion, so provision for surge protection is fully justified in both time spent and expense, period.
