Adjust my Brother machine's Sleep Mode setting.
Setting the Sleep Time reduces power consumption when the Brother machine is idle. You can choose how long the Brother machine is idle before it goes into Sleep Mode. The Sleep Mode timer is automatically reset when the Brother machine receives a fax or PC data, or make copy. The factory setting is 5 minutes.
If you try to print or copy in Sleep Mode, there will be a short delay before the machine begins operating.
