Can I adjust the Sleep Mode setting?
The Sleep Mode function of your Brother machine reduces power consumption while the machine is idle. You can adjust how long your Brother machine is idle before it goes into Sleep Mode. If you press a key on the control panel or the machine receives a fax, receives computer data, or makes a copy, the timer will be reset.
When the machine is in Sleep Mode the LCD will display will be blank.
If your Brother machine is in Sleep Mode when you adjust the Sleep Time, the new setting will take effect the next time the Brother machine receives data from your PC, receives a fax, or makes a copy.
