The manager at the office supply store believes that the new CLP-300 laserjet printer will be used more as a replacement for printers in small offices and libraries rather than for high quality and feature-packed machines in large company settings because its noise emission, only 43 decibels, is far less than most other laserjet printers, which make about 50 decibels of noise each.

What "it" in E points to???? We have one "its" in the sentence, and this "its" points to the printer...so "it" could also point to the printer.......

Does the sentence make sense??
