## Questions & Answers

**Q: It seems like a change was made to fix the "deep sleep" issue.  If you bought between 9/2013 and 12/2013, how are things going?**
A: After dealing with an HP inkjet fax in my restaurant that kept jamming and having dried up ink from, I decided I needed a compact laser that would fit in the allocated area.This fit the bill, except that it was white and every other piece of equipment in the area was black.Once I unboxed the unit, I used masking tape to cover the black areas and any open electronics. Using a simple flat black can of spray paint, I was able to make it all black. Nobody can tell it was painted even when I point it out to them. First problem fixed.I have had the unit for about 7 months and it has performed flawlessly. It even uses the same toner as a wireless Brother printer I have which is a bonus as well. This past week of course, I encountered the DEEP SLEEP curse that so many people speak of. The machine will do half a ring and act weird, but will not receive faxes. After some research and playing around, there is a solution, even though Brother has decided to hide the feature.You ARE able to disable DEEP SLEEP.Go to General Settings, Ecology, Sleep Mode. When it asks you to change the time before sleep, simultaneously press the START and DOWN ARROW buttons. You will now get the hidden option to Disable DEEP SLEEP mode. Disable it and enjoy your fax for many years to come.

**Q: Does this BROTHER FAX2840 have a toner and drum unit as part of the purchase, or do I have to purchase all 3 separately??**
A: It came ready to go. The toner lasted about 3 months (light to medium usage). have not had to replace the drum yet...

**Q: Can this machine be set up to only fax out?  We don't want incoming faxes on it, thx!**
A: You can read the manual or unplug the phone when not in use

**Q: what cartridge does it use?**
A: Brother TN450 which handles 1200 copies or Brother TN450 High Yield Black Toner which handles 2600 copies
