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.
