Quiet printing

Even though the NX-2480 Rainbow/Colour is a quiet printer, it also has a “quiet” mode, which allows it to

print at a reduced noise level. Setting the quiet mode requires that the printer is in ready mode. This is an exception to the general rule that settings are made when the printer is in not-ready mode.
