Brother printer beeps intermittently

Please see the control panel display (any error code or problem issue)

First it's a good idea to be certain of what the error is, if any.
You can find that information out on this page:

Then if there is no error, or fixing the error does not get rid of the blinking light, you may have to reset the machine to factory settings, which can be done by following the steps on this page:

STEP 2: Update the firmware of your Brother machine:

 

A firmware update tool is available that will allow you to update your Brother machine with the most recent version firmware by downloading updates over the Internet. The updated firmware will assist in optimizing toner usage.

 

The Brother printer driver must be installed and working properly prior to the update of the Brother machine. The firmware update tool also requires that you have Java installed on your computer. The firmware update tool will not work if Java is not installed. If you do not have Java installed or are not sure if it is installed on your computer, you may download Java from http://www.java.com.

 

To update the firmware, follow the instructions listed below:

 

DO NOT interrupt the process or turn off the machine once the update has begun. Doing so may corrupt the memory on the machine and may require the machine to be serviced in order to correct the issue.

 

1. Open an Internet web browser and go to http://welcome.solutions.brother.com

 

2. Select your country and language.

 

3. Type in the model of your machine or select it from the appropriate section (Ex: HL3070CW in the Color Printer section).

 

4. Select Downloads.

 

5. Select your OS and language for step 1 and 2 on the web site. Click the Search button.

 

6. The Firmware Update Tool will be listed at the bottom of the web page. Click Information & Download.

 

7. Click the Download button and I Accept if you accept the license agreement.

 

8. A dialog box appears with options for Run, Save, or Cancel. Select Run. You may also download the firmware update tool for later use by selecting Save.

 

Remove the Toner Drum unit and look for a little blue tab. Slide it back and forth a couple of times to clean a corona wire and see if that helps.

Means usually that Dum is Low or it is requesting you to replace something like toner ?
it is a warning indicator

Have you replaced the drum and toner? It sounds as if the printer is saying it's time. The motor constantly running usually means it's trying to add toner to satisfy the toner sensor, but it's empty.
