My 3050 J610 printer goes into standby or sleep mode and then I cannot print docs to it wirelessly

Everytime I do not print something for a few hours, my printer goes into standby or sleep mode.  When it does this, it cannot be used to print from my laptop or android to it.  Is there a way to set this up so that it doesn't "go to sleep" and it is always available to me to print with.  I like the printer, but it seems kind of off that you cannot print on it wirelessly and it is considered a WIRELESS printer.  That's the only reason I bought it and now I can't even use it without walking downstairs and turning the printer back on again.  If I wanted to do that every time I would just print from my main computer!
Thanks,
Ashley

Ok, I know this thread is a little old, but it would not allow me to start a new one, since I am new. I am having the same issues with my 3050 J610 as everyone else. It makes you think there is a wireless connection problem, but that is not the case. The printer goes into a standby mode and there is no way to bring it out of it, unless you cycle the printer. The panel buttons will still work, you just lose the ability to print wirelessly.
I have had my 3050 J610 in two different rooms, master bedroom and basement office. Both areas work well when it is connected and awake. After a while of inactivity, it goes into standby mode and cannot print wirelessly. Here are steps I have taken so far:
When the printer goes into standby and will not print wirelessly, I have check to make sure there is still a connection between the router and the printer - There is
I have set a static Id for the printer at .210
Cycling the printer brings the connection back instantly.
The front panel buttons work just fine when it does not have connectivity
In the basement, the machine has excellent signal and connection.
I have checked the recommendations in this thread, and like others, there are no options under the advanced tab of the maintenance page. The problem is a standby or sleep issue. When this arises, it has connection to the router, but the wireless computer does not have connection to the machine. I know when it was in the bedroom, the light would blink 3 or 4 times now and then throughout the night. We need a way to turn off the standby, or bring the machine out of standby mode. It is not an issue of the router, channel, interference, or software. It is the sole issue of standby or sleep modes. I have been pulling my hair out for almost two years over this issue. I swore I would not buy another HP product after the problems I had with a printer and laptop. But I thought I would give HP another chance.

    While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

  • Firefox goes into work off line mode and will not connect to the internet

    Firefox randomly disconnects from the internet. The work off line option is somehow checked and when un- checked Firefox will still not connect. A re-boot of the computer most often solves the problem. This is new and I have not made any changes recently. Running Fox 3.6.3

    Thank you Moses. I had three add ons that I wasn"t using and after removing them I have not seen the problem again. Thanks again for your help.

  • Phone goes into standby and wont turn off after update!!! please help me as hate it

    On Friday I turned my phone off as per usual and turned back on in the morning to find the phone totally different.
    The red lock button now only sends the phone into like a sleep mode, and i cant find any where to turn it off.
    The screens keep fading down and I have re set the backlight to not dim but some thing is over riding it.
    I used to love my phone and now hate it so much, is there a way of booting this update off my phone and putting it back to how it was. I tried to restore and its the same and then tried to put the phone back to previous settings I had stored on my lap top but again nothing.
    I now have some new blackberry software on the lap top too which now does not even recognise my phone and there for the past restore points I had.
    My daughters bold 9700 does the same thing now too, please please help

    Hiya!
     Blackberry doesnt actually "turn off" it only goes into a standby mode (press and hold the end call button). To fully power it down, you would perform a battery pull.

  • My Iphone goes into "connect to Itunes" mode, I connect to Itunes and restore, then with 24 hours I get the same message again, any ideas ?

    My phone goes into "connect to Itunes" mode and locks up, I connect to Itunes and do a restore and then within 24 hours I get the same message again and the phone locks up. any ideas ?

    You're welcome.
    A hardware problem doesn't mean complete failure.
    With a computer, a hard drive can have a partial or complete failure.
    If it wasn't a hardware problem, it would be resolved after restoring the iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup. If not, every iPhone running 5.1.1 would have the same problem.

  • My external hard drive goes in to constant access mode and really slows down my computer

    I'm using an external hard drive for time machine.  After working for an hour or so the drive goes into a constant access mode and realy slows down my IMac.  I look at activity monitor and everything looks good, no high CPU usage or memory issues.  The only fix is to use the power button to shut down my IMac.  After restart it works fine for a while.
    If I turn off time machine the problem seems to not happen.  I tried disk utility on the external hard drive and it says the dirve is fine.  I change out external drives and the problem still occures.  Any thoughts?

    I didn't realize my profile stated otherwise.
    Please check near the bottom of your original post above to see OS X (10.7.2).  You might want to update that to avoid confusion and save some time in the future.
    OK, please take a deep breath.
    Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme....likely because it is not reliable. You might want to review this Apple Support document to confirm:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
    So, we are not going to be able to provide you with much assistance on that issue.
    Some users seem to be able to make this work....some have some problems....and some (like me) who have tried this have nothing but problems.
    Sorry, I can't help on this one, but maybe another user who has had better luck will post to provide his secrets.
    The iTunes and iPhoto libraries and files are my only copies now.  I moved everything from my Macbook to the external then deleted the originals.
    Not sure if you have thought about this.
    If you deleted the "originals", then your only copy of your data is on one hard drive. You have no backups if the drive has a problem.
    A minimum backup plan would be to have a copy of important data on two different drives. When....not if...one drive fails, you have the data on the "other" drive.
    You have no "other" drive according to the information that you have provided.
    Further.....Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point....you cannot know when.....Time Machine will pick up the change on your Mac and delete the iTunes and iPhoto data from your Time Machine backups.
    The files might stay there a few months, or even longer. But, I have seen instances where the files were deleted within a week or two.
    So my advice would be to only delete data from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

  • T400 goes into standby right after being woken from standby

    Hi, I have a T400. When I wake it up from standby by pressing the Fn key, it wakes up, then automatically goes into standby again. I can still wake it using the Fn key but I am afraid it  might be stuck in a loop.
    Any ideas where the bug could be?

    How do you send the machine into standby?

  • My iPhone turns off whenever it goes into standby mode and has to be turned back on to work

    My iPhone turns off whenever it goes into standby mode and has to be turned back on to work

    That's normal behavior. It turns off automatically in order to preserve the battery. Pushing the On/Off button turns it on immediately. This also requires entering the passcode and prevents the phone from being accessed by anyone but you.

  • Satellite P10 automatically goes into Standby after 15 minutes

    My Satellite P10 automatically goes into Standby after 15 minutes. This is a setting that is controlled by the Toshiba Power Management settings, or the Toshiba Console.
    When I change the settings there the system still goes into Standby after 15 minutes. When I go to Control Panel/Performance and Maintenance/Power Options, it tells me to go to the Toshiba Power Management to change the settings, but I can still see the settings in grey stating 15 minutes standby time.
    But in the Toshiba Power Management I can't seem to be able to ajust Standby settings so that they actually work. There must be a trick to it..
    Can anyone help me figure it out?
    Thanks a lot,
    Lerak

    Thank you for your replies. As I now understand it there are 3 power management utilities fighting for control of the power management settings:
    1) The windows OS power options("Power Option Properties, from the control panel/performance and maintenance/power options);
    this utility is overridden by:
    2) Toshiba Power management;
    and
    3) the "power save modes", activated by pressing the Function key and the F2 key, which in turn can override the Toshiba Power management.
    If this last Function/F2 combination is used to change the power save modes, the windows OS power settings (which are shown in grey and cannot be changed because this is overridden by the Toshiba Power management) DO actually change.
    Hold down the Function key (Fn) and press F2, holding down the Fn key. Each time you then press the F2 key again you scroll down the different "Power Schemes". The last mode is called: Toshiba Power Management. One would think that by choosing this setting the Toshiba Power management utility would effectively take over control of the power settings. Unfortunately this does not seem to be the case..
    At least using this last option provides a workaround. Some of the "Power Schemes" disable the standby options.

  • Konica Minolta Bizhub C450 Printer Goes into Pause

    Hello.
    WHen I bought this iMac (this past winter) I had no issues using our Konica Minolta Bizhub C450.  A KM tech rep suggested (for no reason) that I upgrade to the latest KM driver.
    That was a disaster.  I went back to the old driver.  A couple of months later suddenly everything I print goes into pause.
    I was able to work around by using the printer through another, older iMac via sharing.  Now that is not working.
    Any suggestions??????
    What is Apple or KM saying about this?

    Hi Nachos,
    First I installed the driver via the CD that came with the printer and upon "install completion", Nothing.
    Then I installed the latest driver (for 10.6 or later OS) driver from the Konica Minolta website and Nothing.
    I do not get Software Updates for this printer, I'm not sure why.
    No, the printer does not show up in my list of Printers when I go into System Prefs ---> Print & Scan. It did 3 days ago, now nothing.
    I'm thinking it doesn't like the Lion upgrade or the updates that have taken place since.... I need to get a new printer, I believe.
    Anyone else have thoughts?

  • My new macbook pro retina randomly goes into standby mode

    My new macbook pro retina randomly goes into standby mode. I have to close the screen and wait a few seconds and re-open it in order for it to come back on.
    Sometimes it immediately goes back into standby mode again after closing and reopening the screen. I have checked the battery level everytime, and it has never been below 40% when this occurs. Is this a Mountain Lion issue?

    Well I fixed my problem.
    I took it into the Apple store. Even without the other two monitors they were able to recreate the problem. One symptom (I had) was that one of the Hot Corners was set to Disable screen saver. If you then put your cursor there, you'd go into screen saver mode. Change the setting to another corner and the problem follows you there.
    The Apple person at the Genius bar logged out as me and back in as test and same problem. He tried some stuff and finally said I needed to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS (Lion). I'd only had the machine for 12 hours and had just migrated my data to it, so I didn't mind doing that. I did it at home.
    Problem solved.
    BUT... then I reinstalled the driver for my EVGA UV Plus 19 (most current drivers) and bingo problem back. Uninstall. Problem gone. I'm now using mini display port to DVI for one monitor and HDMI for the other I think the machine is a bit warmer this way (versus using a USB to the EVGA device) but at least it's not sleeping all the time. Someone might say "it (the heat) is your imagination" or something else. Or someone might say "use the other thunderbolt port for another mini-display port to DVI" but I need that for the LAN... c'est la vie.
    Maybe I'll write to evga and see what they say. Maybe they'll fix their driver and/or Apple will fix it.

  • Macbook spontaneously goes into sleep mode and screen off mode

    Hi. My Macbook spontaneously goes into sleep mode and screen off mode with varying time between each instance. It usually goes for a few minutes or even hours without doing it and then will go through periods of fluctuation between the modes. I believe this to have started with a minor orange juice accident rather than it being anything software related.
    Any ideas as to how I might rectify the problem? Thanks very much in advance,
    Danny

    When you say it goes into sleep mode ...do you mean you actually see the white pulsing light?
    It may be that there is an application running (perhaps in the background) that is keeping your book awake. Printer software sometimes does this for example ...try logging out and seeing if it sleeps like that. If it does, then it very well may be a background process running.
    You may find some items in System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items that may be the culprit.
