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 👍

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!

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....

Wow, what a GREAT piece of information. Unfortunately, I had spent a couple of hours before stumbling across it! Great work.

Helpful. Short and to the point! Thank you. It fixed a perplexing issue I have been having.

Eric helped me tremendously! Used three of his tutorials, all of them were fantastic...!!!

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!!

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!!

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

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!

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 KZread. 😀

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

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

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!

Yup. You deserve the thumbs up.

I have been frustrated since September by this feature! Thank you for the solution!!!

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!

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!).

Thank you, thank you! That deep sleep mode is completely annoying.

You're a lifesaver. My printer kept entering deep sleep almost automatically. Even when I turned auto sleep to off.

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!

Thank you - again.
