What is Deep Sleep Mode on Brother DCP-L2540DW?

The deep sleep mode is a power-saving feature designed to conserve energy by putting your Brother DCP-L2540DW printer into a low-power state when it's not in use.

Common Issues with Deep Sleep Mode:

Won't Print: If your Brother printer is stuck in deep sleep mode, it may not respond to print jobs. Disabling deep sleep can resolve this issue.

Delayed Printing: Deep sleep mode can cause a delay in printing as the printer needs time to wake up. Turning it off can speed up the process.

Energy Consumption: While disabling deep sleep may increase energy consumption, it's a trade-off for quicker printing, especially in busy office environments.

Disable/Turning off deep sleep mode on your Brother DCP-L2540DW printer can improve its responsiveness and reduce delays in printing but this may result in slightly higher energy usage. Adjust the deep sleep setting according to your printing needs and environmental concerns.
