The printer the new Brother replaced was a MF Canon laser. It never made the UPS squawk.
Means that the power surge is higher.
Which could be defect and cause to return it, hence the sub-thread question. I have a new UPS on the way. If the printer does cause the new and/or others to do the same, I may pursue the subject with Brother instead of ignoring it. I don't do a lot of printing, the relays don't bother me, and the beeps don't always happen.
Old UPS has been repurposed elsewhere. New UPS has yet to show affect by printer. Until Friday, HL-5470DW printer was otherwise flawless. Friday I needed to pack up an RMA and get it off to a Fedex drop station late in the after noon. For this I had enough time, but when it was almost ready, I went to fedex.com to create the prepaid shipping label, and Firefox 38 (in 13.1) errored the printer, repeatedly. As a workaround, I got Firefox to view only the label image, saved it to disk, then tried to open it in either a different Firefox or KPDF (I already forgot which), and it refused. Luckily, Konq3 opened (although there was obviously something strange about it, displaying on screen with a shade over the entire viewport) and printed it, but by the time I got to that point, over half an hour had been wasted. When I got to the drop off station, last Friday pickup was past, so I had to drive an extra 24 miles to Fedex itself in order to avoid losing 3 extra days in shipping. :-( Has anyone else seen such behavior from a popular web browser trying to print a shipping label? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
