Your printer will now stay on and awake 24/7 until you shut it off manually. Click the “Send” button to update your printer. In it, locate the “Sleep mode” and choose “NO” from the drop-down menu. When using such type of utility software, please release Sleep Mode.
When you are using some type of utility software related to network and you set Sleep Mode to High (Deep Sleep), communications may fail. Once you install the Brother Remote Printer Console, open the console, and search for the “Custom” tab. To stop the power consumption completely, unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet. Most likely you already have it installed.
The software requires you to have Java installed on your computer. The software page is said to be for the HL-5440D, but it can be used for other models as well, like my MFC-1910W.
The name of the software is Brother Remote Printer Console and it can be downloaded from the Brother web site. I could not cancel the deep sleep mode but only after I unplugged it from the electric socket.īut, there is a better solution, which is a Java software, supplied by Brother, which enables you to set custom preferences for your Brother printer. Shortly after installing the printer I noticed that it goes into a deep sleep mode and won’t wake up, even when trying to initiate a remote printing job. It is a wireless laser printer with a scanner and a fax.
