This setting may win the prize for the dumbest factory preset in the history of printers! Thanks for the super easy solution to cancel the Deep Sleep Mode!
In newer models (mine is 3230CDW) that has a "Cancel" button, the method in the video does not work. However, if you "Cancel" (rather than "Back") + "Down Arrow", it works fine!
Oh by the heavens thank you!! This was what I needed. For me I went up to 2 minutes pressed and held down (which went back to 1 minute) then pressed cancel and the Deep Sleep menu came up. Pressing at the same time kept registering cancel for me.
This video was very helpful because it informed me of the secret menu, so I pressed a couple of different buttons on my Brother HL-L3290CDW, and it ended up being the STOP/EXIT and the Down ( - ) buttons at the same time. Hope this helps!
Works great on the HL-L2400DW in 2023. I don't know what Brother was thinking making that the default setting, and having it go into Deep Sleep in such a short time no less, but you came to the rescue, so MANY THANKS for that!
I have the HL-L3290CDW, and for this model it is the minus sign (-) key and Stop/Exit that you must press simultaneously. But never would have figured it out without this video! It is beyond comprehension why hardware manufacturers hide stuff like this. This setting not only was inconvenient, but I believe it was causing disconnects between my mac and the printer that couldn't be resolved just by hitting the power button!
Mr Genius, you saved me many hours I'm sure! I do have a different model though, the DCP-l2550DW. I followed your steps and did not QUITE get there, as it is of course a different model. However after a little trial and error, I tried down&stop, instead of down&back, and viola! It works! Hopefully adding this will help some other poor sap who has the same model I do. Cheers
I was glad to get rid of my HP printer just to be met with this issue on my new Brother printer. I just hate printers in general. Thanks for your video.
Thank you for this. Unfortuntely I seem to have a different problem . Did your fix . But now printer just sits in sleep mode directly after switching on. It says ready then just goes to sleep . Any help would be ace !
Perfect! No long intro, just a simple to follow hack that cleared up my print problems. Why in the world the Brother “instructions” to resolve this deep sleep issue tells you the DS mode cannot be disabled is beyond me-why do5hey care f I use a tiny bit more power??
Thank you for this deep sleep was driving me crazy!, I have a HL-L22370DW and when I got to the part where the minutes were showing, I had to down arrow to 0 and hit OK, and that stopped it! Thanks again!
Thanks, I have been struggling with this for years and usually unplug and plug in again... secret menu's are NOT nice!! I appreciate you sharing the information
Thanks man. I was getting pretty frustrated with this printer. Your video was the first to come up and I just followed along with your steps and now all is good. Thank you.
Thanks, I would never have figured that out. I just don't print that often and the stupid printer kept going into deep sleep. Once again you prove that if you need to figure out how to fix anything, it's on UA-cam. 😀
Thank you for this. Incredibly stupid of them to have buried this in a secret menu item like that. Was getting frustrated trying to find a way to disable that until stumbling on this video.
Worked on the Brother HL-2370DW! Thanks. Nice straight forward instructions. I have another brother and will turn off the deep sleep mode and sleep mode on that one as well! Good Job!!
This was driving me crazy! There is even a video by Brother USA that states specifically that Deep Sleep cannot be turned off. Ridiculous! What is the point of a wireless printer that turns its wireless off. Crazy! Thank you so much for making this video, I now have a working printer!
Probably the best thing I ever found on YT I hate effing printers was going out of my mind re adding the wifi password on the dumb tiny panel , you are a great man thank you 😂🙏🏻🏆
THANK YOU!!! Deep sleep mode is so frustrating as you highlighted. Took 30 seconds to fix once I saw your video. No way I would have figured this out without your video. Awesome!!
Isn't it great how the IT guy at my mum's work can't do this even when asked but me finding this straight to the point video solved the issue in like ten minutes XD thanks for this, that bloody deep sleep mode has been nothing but a pain in the ass!
HL-L2390DW - to get to the "secret deep sleep menu" follow the directions but press the down arrow & Stop/Exit button Thanks for this video. Problem solved.
Thank you.👍👏👏 This video is much a marriage saver. I am waiting for my hubby to solve this for "Deep sleep" for about a month. Apparently, he is in hibernation mode when comes to fixing things in the house. 🤣
Thank you! I could get my iPhone to print but not my computer due to deep sleep. I don't know why the iPhone can wake the printer up but the computer couldn't. Thank you for the secret menu!
Ooooohhhh thank you! I have just followed your steps. If this works, I'll be so grateful. Incredibly frustrating feature that constantly makes my devices think the printer is offline. I've tried everything from restarting printer, restarting computer, re-connecting to wifi, all of it to nurse the printer out of its sleep. So annoying! (I do think that here in the UK it's about not using energy when not using a device, but it just doesn't work!).
This was helpful. My 2340DW goes into deep sleep and sometimes I can't wake it up trying to print from PC or AirPrint. Hopefully, disabling Deep Sleep solves this problem.
Thanks for this trick! I'm not a fan of Brother printers myself. I have some on my office, which my IT manager picked (I'm also on the IT team), and they are some of the most problematic printers I've ever had to support.
After your great video setting up this laser printer ( 1st one and shocked it had no keypad to work menu ) I did get my network connect. ( the harder way ). But after selecting printer on my MAC... printing was easy as WiFi light is always on even when "Deep Sleep" mode . I use Apple Air Print and works on IPAD and IPHONE great. I was so frustrated at first but your videos got me through it and with patience I got connected. I never used a FAX never Photo Copied of Scanned and never needed color so this monochrome laser fit my needs and no dealing with expensive fussy ink. Scanning gets done on APPS now. Hope did not jinx myself.
Thank you-this video is helpful to turn off Deep Sleep mode but Deep Sleep was not my problem. After reading comments below, I tried printing from Google Docs and printer worked fine. What I had to do with the document that was not printing was email it to myself and print from my Google Drive. With technology, there are always multiple ways to solve the problem which can be fun. Guess you just have to figure out which way works best for you!
I hate the deep sleep "feature". What Jack-A thought that would be a good idea then, HIDE the shut off for it?!!🤨 This is the third time I've had to reference your video. Every time it resets from moving or power outage I have to re-watch your video. It's so obscure, it is easily forgotten. Thank you and I wish I could give you more up votes. You deserve more for this tutorial.
Thanks. My family paid $220 for this printer and I can't find any documentation on how to turn off sleep. Unfortunately your video didn't solve my problem, so I am going to return it.
Great video, thanks. My HL3150CDW started going to Deep Sleep recently. The method in the video doesn't work however using down and cancel buttons opens the deep sleep on/off option. Now to suss out why it still wont print from my laptop after a router upgrade. Technology eh?
The jerks who write the official troubleshooting for Brother would rather you spin your wheels than tell you how to turn off this setting. THANK YOU! I have a HL2370DW, but the secret menu was right where you said it would be. This isn't a wireless only issue - mine is wired and it couldn't wake from deep sleep.
Thanks so much for the info. Just wish you would speak a little slower for those of us who are not tech-savvy. And therefore most people waste down to DC but the printer move so fast away from the different prompts. Again thanks
Amazing. I have the 2325 and was pulling my hair out trying to understand why sometimes my print jobs would leave the queue on my Macbook as if they were being printed but the printer was DOING NOTHING. The online documentation help docs say that Deep Sleep can't be turned off. MIDDLE FINGER TO THEM
The printer was a bit complicated to hook up ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 but it does the job very efficiently. I like the ink wells versus the ink cartages that cost an arm and a leg. It prints quickly and the quality is excellent. It shuts off when not in use, so you have to remember to turn it on. Overall, it exceeds my expectations. I'll update my review in a couple of months.
It didn't work in my case. However, I fixed my printer by chatting online with customer service of Brother. They asked model, my windows version, how priter is connected. Then asked what did I do to troubleshoot. Then send me link with step by step instructions. It Then worked)
Yes! Thank you for this video! "Deep Sleep Mode" needs be killed - are you listening Brother Printers? My previous beloved Brother printer was great; plugged it in, connected and worked great for years. I pick up this one for massive kid printing and it is a big ol' piece of burnt toast, mind-f-ing waste of time getting out of deep sleep. Thank you thecollegepicker for making the easiest, quickest fix to forever get rid of this torturous feature. Thank you UA-cam for hosting this educational video! Brother Printers, you dropped the ball, man. Listen to this channel and regain your supporters. Kill this stupid, stupid glitchy "deep sleep" mode. Thanks again thecollegepicker. So glad to find your video!
I know this is from years ago. But it took me 2 days to set up this printer. I wish I found you sooner, but do I really need to turn off the DEEP SLEEP Mode before I do anything else or can I do it even after the printer has been set up ? I have HL-L2340DW. Appreciate a response. Thank you
For the MFC-L2700DW you want to press * AND START instead of DOWN AND BACK... thanks for the video for letting me know it is actually possible to defeat this DUMB setting.
hi - loved the help, but this printer did not allow me to choose down & Back at the same time to bring up DEEP SLEEEP I was only able to change 0 MIN of Sleep? I will be curious if DEEP SLEEP will still show up?
Similar sequence for the HL- L8260, but the final run brings up "Auto Power Off", press OK, then there is the option to turn off "Auto Power Off" to Off, then press OK again. What annoyed me at first was the default sleep time of 1 min. One freaking minute! Then it would go into Deep Sleep after about 10 minutes or less. All sorted now - that's been the only gripe with it so far. It's an excellent printer otherwise. Another thing I only found today was the printer's own Admin web page - look for the password on a sticker at the back of the printer, enter the LAN address into a browser address bar, and it tells you everything you need to know about the internal status of pages printed, hardware use, etc. I found that it still displays "Deep Sleep" after a couple of hours, but it just wakes normally when sent a print job, without having to press any buttons.
I had that same printer and could have used this!! I ended up hardwiring the dang thing. Now I have a newer model and it doesn't have the Back button. The sleep time was 0 - goes up to 50. Do you know what to do with the newer models ?
This setting may win the prize for the dumbest factory preset in the history of printers! Thanks for the super easy solution to cancel the Deep Sleep Mode!
Lol 😆
In newer models (mine is 3230CDW) that has a "Cancel" button, the method in the video does not work. However, if you "Cancel" (rather than "Back") + "Down Arrow", it works fine!
Thank you for this! It's been driving me NUTS.
Lifesaver!!
THANK YOU! I thought I was going crazy for a second when it didn't work. You're a life saver!
Oh by the heavens thank you!! This was what I needed. For me I went up to 2 minutes pressed and held down (which went back to 1 minute) then pressed cancel and the Deep Sleep menu came up.
Pressing at the same time kept registering cancel for me.
I was so hoping this would work for me but no... When I press cancel and down arrow it goes to drum cleaning😮
This video was very helpful because it informed me of the secret menu, so I pressed a couple of different buttons on my Brother HL-L3290CDW, and it ended up being the STOP/EXIT and the Down ( - ) buttons at the same time. Hope this helps!
You are my hero, thanks. Cant believe I have to use UA-cam and a comment to figure this out. Thanks, Brother.
This worked for HL-3140CW
This worked for brother dcp l2550dw turn off sleep mode! Thank you, finally found the solution to a problem that's been bugging me for months.
Thank you! I have a MFC-L2717DW. The video wasn't working and I was running through combos as I saw your comment.
Worked for the HL-3170CDW
Thank you! Four years later, and we still need this tutorial.
People like you keep the world turning and the rest of us sane! Thankyou 👍
Setting up printer now and didn’t know that you need to physically wake up printer from deep sleep. You saved me lots of future frustration
Oh it's an awful feature. You would have been so confused.
The normale would be that it woke up when you try print some but NOOOOOO so easy can it not be!
Works great on the HL-L2400DW in 2023. I don't know what Brother was thinking making that the default setting, and having it go into Deep Sleep in such a short time no less, but you came to the rescue, so MANY THANKS for that!
Again, dumb guys there! It's so annoing after spending money for a good printer....
I have the HL-L3290CDW, and for this model it is the minus sign (-) key and Stop/Exit that you must press simultaneously. But never would have figured it out without this video! It is beyond comprehension why hardware manufacturers hide stuff like this. This setting not only was inconvenient, but I believe it was causing disconnects between my mac and the printer that couldn't be resolved just by hitting the power button!
thanks
Mr Genius, you saved me many hours I'm sure! I do have a different model though, the DCP-l2550DW. I followed your steps and did not QUITE get there, as it is of course a different model. However after a little trial and error, I tried down&stop, instead of down&back, and viola! It works! Hopefully adding this will help some other poor sap who has the same model I do. Cheers
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
I was glad to get rid of my HP printer just to be met with this issue on my new Brother printer. I just hate printers in general. Thanks for your video.
Didn't work for me. It says sleep mode is off but it still won't work and says "sleep." I will NEVER buy another Brother printer. This is ridiculous.
100% why is sleep mode even an option for a printer lol
Did work for me as well😢
This video just saved me from having to chuck my printer through a window. Thank you!
Lol you are welcome
Not all heroes wear capes! Thank you so much for that little bit of sanity you helped me snatch back.
You are welcome. God bless you 🙏🏻
Thank you for this. Unfortuntely I seem to have a different problem . Did your fix . But now printer just sits in sleep mode directly after switching on. It says ready then just goes to sleep . Any help would be ace !
Mine too. Deep Sleep has been disabled, but now it still says Sleep and it's not printing.
Me too
Perfect! No long intro, just a simple to follow hack that cleared up my print problems. Why in the world the Brother “instructions” to resolve this deep sleep issue tells you the DS mode cannot be disabled is beyond me-why do5hey care f I use a tiny bit more power??
Thank you for this deep sleep was driving me crazy!, I have a HL-L22370DW and when I got to the part where the minutes were showing, I had to down arrow to 0 and hit OK, and that stopped it! Thanks again!
You are welcome. Glad you got it fixed up 🙂
Thanks, I have been struggling with this for years and usually unplug and plug in again... secret menu's are NOT nice!! I appreciate you sharing the information
Thanks man. I was getting pretty frustrated with this printer.
Your video was the first to come up and I just followed along with your steps and now all is good.
Thank you.
You are welcome, happy to help 😊
Thanks for the helpful tip! Now is there a way to turn off the regular "Sleep Mode" on this printer?
Thanks, I would never have figured that out. I just don't print that often and the stupid printer kept going into deep sleep. Once again you prove that if you need to figure out how to fix anything, it's on UA-cam. 😀
Thank you so much! That problem had been annoying me for a couple of years.
This advice is still paying dividends to users! Thanks for this video!
In 2024, and this still works! Thank you SOOOOOOO much!!!!
Thank you for this. Incredibly stupid of them to have buried this in a secret menu item like that. Was getting frustrated trying to find a way to disable that until stumbling on this video.
Awesome. Thanks to commenters who found and Down/Stop combination. worked for me.
Worked on the Brother HL-2370DW! Thanks. Nice straight forward instructions. I have another brother and will turn off the deep sleep mode and sleep mode on that one as well! Good Job!!
Eric helped me tremendously! Used three of his tutorials, all of them were fantastic...!!!
This is exactly what I needed! Clear instructions and easy to follow. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Helpful. Short and to the point! Thank you. It fixed a perplexing issue I have been having.
This was driving me crazy! There is even a video by Brother USA that states specifically that Deep Sleep cannot be turned off. Ridiculous! What is the point of a wireless printer that turns its wireless off. Crazy! Thank you so much for making this video, I now have a working printer!
Whoa brother is silly
Was printing fine. Now won’t wake up even though deep sleep is off. Think this is getting returned. So disappointed in brother.
Probably the best thing I ever found on YT I hate effing printers was going out of my mind re adding the wifi password on the dumb tiny panel , you are a great man thank you 😂🙏🏻🏆
Thanks so much for the solve. Hidden unwanted features like this drive me mad!
THANK YOU!!! Deep sleep mode is so frustrating as you highlighted. Took 30 seconds to fix once I saw your video. No way I would have figured this out without your video. Awesome!!
Happy to help 🤝
Isn't it great how the IT guy at my mum's work can't do this even when asked but me finding this straight to the point video solved the issue in like ten minutes XD thanks for this, that bloody deep sleep mode has been nothing but a pain in the ass!
Lol. 😪💤 Mode on this model is awful
Thank you for your help. Problem solved with your very clear instructions. You have done a lot of people a great service.
Happy to help
HL-L2390DW - to get to the "secret deep sleep menu" follow the directions but press the down arrow & Stop/Exit button
Thanks for this video. Problem solved.
It was annoying until I found this solution. Great job my friend. Thanks
🤝 you are welcome
Note: on my DCP-L2550DW, the secret menu was obtained by pressing STOP and DOWN at the same time.
Anyway, it was great help, thank you.
Thanks for adding that Antoine 🙏
Thanks Brother ! I was going to dump my printer !! You saved his life and mine !!
Thank you.👍👏👏 This video is much a marriage saver. I am waiting for my hubby to solve this for "Deep sleep" for about a month. Apparently, he is in hibernation mode when comes to fixing things in the house. 🤣
Thank you! I could get my iPhone to print but not my computer due to deep sleep. I don't know why the iPhone can wake the printer up but the computer couldn't. Thank you for the secret menu!
Thanks so much for this. It's quick and easy. It's crazy that Canon has a secret menu. Who would have known if you hadn't told us?
You are welcome. It's nuts right 😆
Ooooohhhh thank you! I have just followed your steps. If this works, I'll be so grateful. Incredibly frustrating feature that constantly makes my devices think the printer is offline. I've tried everything from restarting printer, restarting computer, re-connecting to wifi, all of it to nurse the printer out of its sleep. So annoying! (I do think that here in the UK it's about not using energy when not using a device, but it just doesn't work!).
On Brother MFC-L2710DW it was Stop/Exit and Down buttons TOGETHER to get to the Deep Menu options.
Secret combo 🙌 thanks for adding that model for everyone to see 🙏🙏
Excellent, couldn't figure out how to turn that off. You've made my life easier!
You are welcome. It's crazy how it's hidden 😭
Many thanks.Brother ought to employ you as an 'adviser'.Well done.
OMG I love you! 2 years of misery and you solved it in seconds! I hear the sound of printing!!!🎉❤
This was helpful. My 2340DW goes into deep sleep and sometimes I can't wake it up trying to print from PC or AirPrint. Hopefully, disabling Deep Sleep solves this problem.
Thanks for this trick! I'm not a fan of Brother printers myself. I have some on my office, which my IT manager picked (I'm also on the IT team), and they are some of the most problematic printers I've ever had to support.
Opps ....just saw your note. Pushed Down and Stop/Exit together and it worker perfectly. Thanks
I never would have found THAT on my own. Thanks.
Wow, what a GREAT piece of information. Unfortunately, I had spent a couple of hours before stumbling across it! Great work.
after fighting this for an hour...I found your UA-cam channel. Thanks for the fix!!!
You are welcome
Dude thank you, still works on the upgraded version of this printer!
After your great video setting up this laser printer ( 1st one and shocked it had no keypad to work menu ) I did get my network connect. ( the harder way ). But after selecting printer on my MAC... printing was easy as WiFi light is always on even when "Deep Sleep" mode . I use Apple Air Print and works on IPAD and IPHONE great.

How do you turn off sleep function on HL-L2395DW ? It is a never ending problem. I want to disable it. Thank you.
I hate the deep sleep "feature". What Jack-A thought that would be a good idea then, HIDE the shut off for it?!!🤨
This is the third time I've had to reference your video. Every time it resets from moving or power outage I have to re-watch your video. It's so obscure, it is easily forgotten.
Thank you and I wish I could give you more up votes. You deserve more for this tutorial.
I appreciate you coming back! Yeah it's a crazy "feature"
Amazing, was so annoying for last two years now fixed, thank you!
You are welcome 🤠
Thank you! Awful that I had to dig to figure this out, but appreciate that I found your video.
You are welcome
You winned all the internets today my friend.
Appreciate it!
Thanks. My family paid $220 for this printer and I can't find any documentation on how to turn off sleep. Unfortunately your video didn't solve my problem, so I am going to return it.
Great video, thanks. My HL3150CDW started going to Deep Sleep recently. The method in the video doesn't work however using down and cancel buttons opens the deep sleep on/off option.
Now to suss out why it still wont print from my laptop after a router upgrade. Technology eh?
I bow humbly in your general direction, sir!
Lol thx
Much easier than our previous solution which was to restart the computer to get it to reconnect to the printer.
This helped a lot! When we first got our printer, it didn’t go into deep sleep, but I’m pretty sure my 2-year-old brother activated it somehow.
Oh good glad it helped ☺️
The jerks who write the official troubleshooting for Brother would rather you spin your wheels than tell you how to turn off this setting. THANK YOU! I have a HL2370DW, but the secret menu was right where you said it would be. This isn't a wireless only issue - mine is wired and it couldn't wake from deep sleep.
Yes! a simple explanation to a frustrating problem. Thank you :)
You are welcome 🤠
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! For the sake of "the environment" I was ready to smash this printer to bits.
You have just saved me a world of grief!
Many Thanks. I recently reset my Brother printer and since then, i couldn't print to it, without restarting it.
I have been frustrated since September by this feature! Thank you for the solution!!!
Thank you, Most frustrating setting, so happy you were able to help
Thanks so much for the info. Just wish you would speak a little slower for those of us who are not tech-savvy. And therefore most people waste down to DC but the printer move so fast away from the different prompts. Again thanks
Thank you! What could possibly be their rationale for having deep sleep as their default. Until I found this, using my printer was painful!
Amazing. I have the 2325 and was pulling my hair out trying to understand why sometimes my print jobs would leave the queue on my Macbook as if they were being printed but the printer was DOING NOTHING. The online documentation help docs say that Deep Sleep can't be turned off. MIDDLE FINGER TO THEM
The printer was a bit complicated to hook up ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 but it does the job very efficiently. I like the ink wells versus the ink cartages that cost an arm and a leg. It prints quickly and the quality is excellent. It shuts off when not in use, so you have to remember to turn it on. Overall, it exceeds my expectations. I'll update my review in a couple of months.
dude. thanks so much!! I've been so frustrated by this and your simple explanation works like a charm
It didn't work in my case. However, I fixed my printer by chatting online with customer service of Brother. They asked model, my windows version, how priter is connected. Then asked what did I do to troubleshoot. Then send me link with step by step instructions. It Then worked)
Thank you! What a fking problem this should never have been a default setting let alone not in the pamphlet you get. Lifesaver!
100%. You are right 😂
You're a lifesaver. My printer kept entering deep sleep almost automatically. Even when I turned auto sleep to off.
Wow... It is a super annoying setting and they really don't want us to know about it... Thanks!
Thank you, thank you! That deep sleep mode is completely annoying.
I just gotta say.. Thank You! Day 1 of my new Brother printer and I keep running over to wake it up like an idiot.
Excellent tip-this was driving me mad. Thank you
Yes! Thank you for this video! "Deep Sleep Mode" needs be killed - are you listening Brother Printers? My previous beloved Brother printer was great; plugged it in, connected and worked great for years. I pick up this one for massive kid printing and it is a big ol' piece of burnt toast, mind-f-ing waste of time getting out of deep sleep. Thank you thecollegepicker for making the easiest, quickest fix to forever get rid of this torturous feature. Thank you UA-cam for hosting this educational video! Brother Printers, you dropped the ball, man. Listen to this channel and regain your supporters. Kill this stupid, stupid glitchy "deep sleep" mode. Thanks again thecollegepicker. So glad to find your video!
Happy to help 😃
Thanks! I have the HL-L3210CW and it was down and cancel button.
I know this is from years ago. But it took me 2 days to set up this printer. I wish I found you sooner, but do I really need to turn off the DEEP SLEEP Mode before I do anything else or can I do it even after the printer has been set up ? I have HL-L2340DW. Appreciate a response. Thank you
This is so stupid on the part of Brother. Thanks for the tip, works a charm!
Bless you! This has been pissing me off for weeks.
Its great tip. I still cant find same solution for dcp-1623. It dont want to get up by wifi connection.
For the MFC-L2700DW you want to press * AND START instead of DOWN AND BACK... thanks for the video for letting me know it is actually possible to defeat this DUMB setting.
hi - loved the help, but this printer did not allow me to choose down & Back at the same time to bring up DEEP SLEEEP I was only able to change 0 MIN of Sleep? I will be curious if DEEP SLEEP will still show up?
Yup. You deserve the thumbs up.
Ours goes into deep sleep as soon as we turn it on sometimes so this is good to know.
Similar sequence for the HL- L8260, but the final run brings up "Auto Power Off", press OK, then there is the option to turn off "Auto Power Off" to Off, then press OK again.
What annoyed me at first was the default sleep time of 1 min. One freaking minute! Then it would go into Deep Sleep after about 10 minutes or less.
All sorted now - that's been the only gripe with it so far. It's an excellent printer otherwise.
Another thing I only found today was the printer's own Admin web page - look for the password on a sticker at the back of the printer, enter the LAN address into a browser address bar, and it tells you everything you need to know about the internal status of pages printed, hardware use, etc.
I found that it still displays "Deep Sleep" after a couple of hours, but it just wakes normally when sent a print job, without having to press any buttons.
Appreciate the input! 🙏🙏
you just changed my life
🤝
Thank you!!☀️ Such a relieve 😅 it drove me crazy
Thanks for this. I’ll set it up right away
I had that same printer and could have used this!! I ended up hardwiring the dang thing. Now I have a newer model and it doesn't have the Back button. The sleep time was 0 - goes up to 50. Do you know what to do with the newer models ?
Oh god, thank you!! It was driving me crazy!!
