Goes into a deep sleep. Never wakes up.

Printer will not come out of deep sleep mode without cycling power. Overall the printer works well. I've been searching the Brother website for help. It's pretty lousy. The included manuals have no reference to deep sleep. I'd turn it off if I could. Overall the printer is ok. This Sleep thing is pretty irritating. I'd pick another printer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, I'm glad to hear the printer works well. I apologize the website was not helpful. If the machine is in Deep Sleep Mode for certain length of time, based on your model and settings, the machine will go into Power Off Mode automatically. The machine does not go into Power Off Mode when the machine is connected to a network or has secure print data in the memory. The provided link will help. https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqend.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hll8260cdw_us_eu_as&faqid=faq00100216_506
For the most part the print quality is good; however, I have paper handling issues. Sometimes it will feed 3 or 4 sheets of paper at one time. I've tried different settings to no avail. Also, envelopes come out wrinkled unless I flip the levers in the back for printing them, but then I get a noticeable crease on one side when printing letter size paper.
I bought this for my classroom. Needed to be able to print evelopes for parents and stuff for my class. This printer you can print up to 10 evelopes at a time. Wish I would have known that before the I bought the model below this one. Makes my power flicker and shuts down my computer when I use it because it draws a lot of electricity. Could be because I had other items also plugged in or it could be an electrial issue in my home however got it to work once I had a back up battery installed. It is fast and when it does too much it takes it's own little cooling off breaks then gets back to work. Wish I could do more than 10 envelopes at a time but this is way better than the model below it which only did one at a time was tedious to feed them thru. Now if I can print my 3x5 index cards like it says I can then it'll be so totally worth it. Images are clear and color looks good. Does labels well without accidentally peeling them.
I purchased this machine as a replacement for a Lexmark color laser printer that had finally given up the ghost. After reading reviews, checking features and prices, I decided on the Brother HL-L8260CDW printer. I am acquainted with the Brother name, and quality from my former company's exclusive use of Brother monochrome fax machines. So far, it was a great choice, I have gone through about a half a ream of paper with great results.
I love this printer. So easy to install. The only this I do not like is it will not mirror image. I have to use a different program to reverse the image. Then I prints great.
Purchased this to be used as a receipt printer to upgrade from an older model because of it's advertised fast printing speed, Ended up being a downgrade as I can literally count slowly to 10 from the time I click "print" to the time it actually starts printing. Meanwhile, my customer is staring at me wondering what's taking so long. 8 year old printer would start printing almost immediately. Tried changing settings on the new one but nothing helps. Just very slow to spool. Print quality is fine.
