Deep sleep? Deep embarrassment for Brother is more like it.
Before buying this printer I read the reviews. Several complained about the deep sleep mode. I thought that it can't be that bad, I will just turn the sleep mode off or change the timeout to a long time. Boy, was I wrong. The deep sleep feature on this otherwise decent product makes it so frustrating to use, I am going to return it. By default, the printer will enter deep sleep in 1 minute. Trying to print does not wake it up (at least not on Mac, with Wi-Fi). To wake it up you need to start a copy, or turn it off and back on. Then, perhaps in 2 minutes your page will come out. So even if you turn the printer on, print immediately, and make even a brief pause before trying to print another page, it'll take several minutes, before your second page comes out. What about changing the deep sleep timer setting? That does not work, as one would expect. I set this to its maximum of 50 minutes. Then in a couple of days I needed to print and again had the same terrible experience as I described above. Apparently the printer had forgotten my change of timer setting and went asleep in 1 minute again. I experimented: changed timer setting to 50 min, turned the power off, back on and checked the setting - it showed 50 minutes. Then printer went asleep in 1 minute. I turned it off, back on, checked the timer setting, and it was 1 minute again. It's some kind of a joke.
