Where is Sleep Mode on MX882?

My PIXMA MX882 has started falling asleep lately. The control panel goes dark all except for the WiFi button. When I try to print wirelessly, I get "printer not connected." The printer works fine after I turn it off and turn it back on. It sounds to me like the device is falling asleep after nonuse. I can't find a Sleep mode setting, though. Any ideas?

Thanks for that.
This solved it for me: switch off printer. Reboot router. Switch printer back on and re-enter wireless credentials on printer to get back onto wireless network. The screen on the printer still goes dark when not used for a while (product support tell me that is how it should be and cannot be changed) but now when I print from a wireless connection as well as from a hard-wired one, the printer wakes up and does its thing correctly.

  • My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off.  How do I fix this?

    Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
    Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
    Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
    Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
    If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

  • Iphone 4 battery draining while in sleep mode

    I have noticed over the past few days that after putting my iphone 4 into *sleep mode* and not using it for several hours that the battery percentage is significantly lower after powering it back up. I first became aware of this after waking up to find my battery was at 50% (8 hours before I went to sleep it was 90%). Just today I was using my phone and the battery was at exactly 85%, I turn it off and an hour later I check the battery at its at 77%!!! I then go for a 45min run (leaving the phone at the house) and coming back I see that it is at 73%.
    I don't know if this is a battery issue or a problem with the wifi/3g working when the phone is in sleep mode. My parents both have the 3GS and they do not experience this with their phones.
    I have had this phone for 2 weeks and I don't want to have to send it back so please tell me this is a software/settings problem and not with the hardware!!
    I haven't changed any settings or downloaded any apps since I got the phone (Except for the free case app). I did however sync my email address with the phone so it may be a problem with that I don't know.
    I am also on the original firmware that came with the iPhone 4 I have not updated that yet.

    I think it had something to do with the signal being weak. I normally keep my phone in the basement where my computer is and often there is only 1 bar or no service at all. In order to make contact with the cell phone tower the phone has to work harder therefore using more battery. I put the phone upstairs in my room last night where the is better AT&T signal and my battery has not dropped off at all.
    That could be the issue. Your phone is only getting 1 signal or no service, and is trying to work hard trying to find good service in your basement. Try setting the phone on the first floor where you get good signal and see if that fixes your battery issue,.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen. iOS 5.1.1 - Sleep Mode and Other Questions

    Hello,
    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation with iOS 5.1.1
    1) RE: Sleep Mode - I found this on another thread and it's regarding iOS 4.3.1. 
    Is the same still true for iOS 5.1.1? 
    If so, what is recommended for sleep mode - Airplane mode or Wi-Fi off - or is either one ok?
    Wi-Fi is always ON with the 4th generation model running 4.3.1 when it is sleeping unless you either turn off the Wi-Fi or turn Airplane mode ON.
    2)  I only use my iPod Touch on my home Wi-Fi and do not use any cloud based syncing or iTunes Wi-Fi Sync.  I do all my syncing manually from my MacBook Pro via USB to the iPod Touch.  The way I do things is purchase what I need from my MacBook Pro via iTunes and then manually sync it to the iPod Touch.  But there may be times, in the future, where I would want to purchase directly from the iPod Touch.
    I recently updated my AppleID with my new email address via my MacBook Pro.  But, I noticed that on my iPod Touch under "Settings" "Store" that it still shows my old AppleID.  I have all Automatic Downloads set to OFF.  How do I update the iPod Touch to reflect my new AppleID?
    3) When I'm using Safari and I navigate to several websites, how do I easily get back to my home page (which is set to Yahoo!)?
    Probably a dumb question but I can't seem to figure it out.  I've set Yahoo! to my homepage but I would think there should be or is (and can't find it) a button/icon like on my MacBook Pro Safari to take me directly back to the homepage.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    - Unless you use bluetooth, airplane mode and wifi off are the same as regards to battery drain. I like use airplane mode sinc that is directly under Settings.
    - Go to Settngs>Store and sign out of existing account and sign in with the updated one
    - I have no idea for the Safari question

  • Macbook Pro Randomly Enters Sleep Mode For A Few Seconds

    Hi All,
    My Macbook Pro has had this problem since a few months after I purchased it. While working or playing the laptop will randomly go into what seems like sleep mode. The screen turns off, I hear the hard drive stop and then a couple seconds later it starts back up on its own. Any Internet connection I had disconnects, but other than that it starts up as normal.
    The problem comes and goes and doesn't seem to be consistent with anything that I'm aware of. Sometimes it happens once, then doesn't happen for days. Often it will happen several times in a row over the course of an hour.
    I've called support and brought the laptop to the genius bar where they ran several tests, but were unable to figure anything out. Research online has shown similar issues with other users, but no solutions. The laptop is not stacked on anything magnetic, the issue occurs when running hot or cold and whether I'm on battery power or plugged in.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this can't be resolved is it something I can bring to apple and get a replacement under my year warranty?

  • What is causing my Mac to crash during the sleep mode?

    Hello!
    I would to have your help on this situation that i am having for a month or so...  Ok... it started about a month ago, I turned it on and all of the sudden, it shut down, then rebooted on its own... (actually it rebooted like 3 or 4 times before running the system) I thought that it was odd.  I had my Tech to look over and see what was causing to crash and all... he could not find anything then we all decided to leave it running all time... so we did.  a week or two later, it just crashed when i woke the sleep mode and it went on the usual route as crashed and rebooted two or three times before going back to normal. 
    sound familiar to you guys?  after that happened, we turned off the sleep mode and so far, it is doing good...  decided not to update the system's Security software because it may have something to cause the mac to crash down...
    the mac is  2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 8 Gb 667 MHZ DDR2 FB-DIMM, running on 10.6.8
    appreciate your help on this.

    One more thing....  it makes weird sounds as well... very high pitch sounds that you hear in movies where UFO flying by while it is doing the rebooting...

  • How can I turn off the sleep mode on my B209a

    I need to turn the sleep mode off on my B209a printer,every time my computer updates and printer is in sleep mode , my computer does not reinstall printer.
    usally its at a time where I need to print and I have to stop and reboot system with the printer on.

    HI,
    Go into the setup menu from the display of the unit and find prefferances. In there is the option called "energy save mode". You should be able to turn it off there.

  • AI scanclock sleep mode--labv​iew RT

    I've been using AI single scan in a time critical loop, with 0 buffer, to
    sleep on the AI Scan Clock. Everything seemed to be working real nicely
    (i.e, all of my lower priority threads seemed to be serviced correctly),
    until I started trying to do hardware calls in lower priority threads to
    "check" to see how long it took to service low priority threads by
    initiating counter pulses at the onset and offset of these loops (there
    seems to be no other reliable way to get this information with tens-of
    microsecond resolution). All went to hell then. When I slowed down my
    loop to try to use more "software" type sleep modes instead of the AI
    single scan sleep (that is sleeping for milliseconds), everything seemed
    to work again.
    A
    s we started delving in to see about different types of sleep modes, we
    noticed that there is a small paragraph in the "counter wait" sleep mode
    documentation that says while the time critical loop is asleep from a
    counter wait, NI-Daq calls cannot be made. This would explain the
    behavior I'm seeing (i.e, "all went to hell").
    In any case, there is nothing in any of the development areas or
    documentation stating that NI-Daq calls are not serviced while the time
    critical loop is asleep due to AI Single Scan waiting for the AI scan
    clock. It seems quite reasonable that this is the case, though, and it
    makes sense to keep all your hardware calls in the time critical loop
    (though I tried to violate this rule for testing purposes, and in fact
    sleeping on a ms wait does allow such calls!). I just hadn't seen the
    counter wait documentation because I'm not using the counter wait.
    Long story short, are NIDaq calls serviced during an AI Single Scan
    sleep? If not, can this be a
    dded to the documentation where this type of
    sleep is described?? This cost us about four days (though I probably
    deserve it for making hardware calls in low priority loops!).
    Thanks

    Hello Scott,
    The behavior you are seeing is expected and is due to the fact that the NI-DAQ driver is a single-threaded DLL. For more information I would check out the following NI Developer Zone article:
    Avoiding Shared Resources and Priority Inversions for Deterministic Applications
    While we try to get as much useful information in the manual as possible, we always recommend checking out the NIDZ for good additional information.

  • Is data being used if your phone is in sleep mode

    So a few years ago my dad had told me that my phone is always connecting to cellular towers and that made me think does my phone use data even if my phone is in sleep mode or if I'm doing something on my phone that doesn't require data, is a small amount of data still being used

    Yes, it will periodically do things like check for email, or perform tasks that you have authorized applications to perform in the background. Now, if you are in a location where you have a reliable wifi connection, it will typically perform these tasks over that, rather than your cellular connection.
    You can bet that there is usually a little bit of cellular data usage going on during sleep, even if there's wifi, but we're probably talking about kilobytes.
    That being said, you can track how much data apps are using by going to
    Settings>Cellular
    now, this will give you values since the beginning of time on your phone, so you can't really interpret this very well, you are best to reset those values and track it for a known period of time.

  • WLan fails to connect after sleep mode - Satellite T110-10x

    Hi,
    Everything works fine, wireless connected.
    After sleep mode - it fails to connect although it detects my wireless network.
    I've tried the latest Realtek driver, still no good.
    I've verified that my setup is not to turn down wireless in the power options.
    Any idea?

    Hi
    Where did you find the latest WLan driver?
    Here on this Toshiba driver page you can find the latest Wlan driver:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
    I recommend uninstalling firstly the old driver and then to install the newer version.
    Furthermore its necessary to update the BIOS. I read in the forum that similar issues could be solved by BIOS update.

  • Having issues with 13" MacBook Pro. Running very slow and blank screen and sleep mode.

    Bought my MBPro summer 2009. About a month / 6 weeks ago it began to run extremely slow at points. Now it is running poorly and getting very slow on a daily basis, to the point where it will not open applications, documents or even web pages for in excess of 5 minutes. I'm beginning to lose patience!
    Also at the exact same time of these performance issues occuring, my MacBook Pro will not awaken from sleep mode when the lid is closed. Showing a blank dark screen and having to hard reset in order to boot up my system again and get it running.
    What is the best solution in order to resolve these issues?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Did you run Disk Utility>First Aid?  If so what were the results?  This is a copy of mine, note that the bottom line says:  The partition map appears to be OK:

    Brand new home built system (all new components unless noted otherwise) running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium on the following hardware:
    MSI X58 Pro-E motherboard,
    Intel Core i7-920 (2.66) CPU,
    Enermax PRO82+ 525W powersupply,
    Sapphire ATI HD5670 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E video,
    8GB Corsair 1333MHz RAM,
    WD Velociraptor 150GB 10,000 RPM boot drive,
    WD 500GB Caviar Black for file storage,
    Plextor DVD-RW,
    CoolerMaster case.
    Older Viewsonic VP2030B monitor,
    Older Microsoft Desktop 6000 V2 keyboard/mouse.
    With standard Windows 7 power saving features enabled, the following
    intermittent problems occur:
    After the system has gone into sleep mode, the video card provides no signal to the monitor. Moving the mouse or touching keys on the keyboard obviously bring the system back out of sleep mode, but no video signal is received. Unplugging the DVI-D
    cable from the card results in the Windows sound indicating a change. Plugging it back in, results in a Windows sound indicating the change. This happens when you unplug one end of the cable, it doesn't matter if it is at the monitor end or the video card
    end - as long as the other end is of course still plugged in. The only resolution to this "no video" state is to reboot the computer with the power or reset button.
    On some occasions when turning the PC on, there is no video signal. The system boots properly (although the BIOS screen takes about 15 seconds to appear - something MSI says is OK), and can be shut down with the correct keyboard sequence. The monitor
    runs through VGA, DVI-A and DVI-D, but no signal is ever received so it goes into standby mode. 
    When the computer boots properly, usually while it is still loading Outlook (which is set to start automatically), the screen goes completely blank for 5 or more seconds, then comes back on and the monitor menu indicates that it is running at the correct
    resolution, and then the video works correctly from there on in - unless it goes to sleep.
    On some occasions, when recovering from a "no video after sleep mode" incident, everything on the screen has been moved towards the upper left side of the screen. The Outlook window which is normally quite large (80%) and centred on the screen has been reduced
    in size to about 50% and shoved into the top left corner. Also, the 4 gadgets that normally run vertically along the right side of the screen have been moved up and towards the middle of the screen, one or two of them often overlap others.
    Things I have done/tried:
    All Windows 7 updates,
    All motherboard BIOS updates,
    All video card drivers and software updates from ATI,
    Replaced the DVI-D cable,
    Uninstalled the video card and drivers, and moved the card to a different PCI-E slot,
    Replaced the video card with another Sapphire ATI HD5450 card (temporarily).
    Sapphire thinks it's a hardware problem with the original card, but since temporarily replacing it with another card, the problems continue, so I doubt that is the issue. (Plus I have to pay $25 to ship the apparently defective - under warranty card - back
    to them.)
    These problems have happened intermittently since the system was built in January 2010 and they seem to be quite random, sometimes not happening for weeks, other times happening every few days. Sometimes the system is in sleep mode for 1/2 hour and it happens,
    other times it is in sleep mode for hours and it happens (or doesn't).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi again,
    OK, I finally got around to trying this. I still have to check if that actually fixed it, but I managed to get into the "Factory" OSD screen.
    I had my system running, disconnected my new monitor and plugged in the flaky old Viewsonic. I then:
    1. Depressed and held down the #2 button, then depressed and held down the Power button,
    2. Almost immediately the amber power light turned-on, the backlight turned on and the output image from the PC showed up.
    3. The On Screen Display (OSD) for all the monitor setting came up (at the bottom of the screen instead of the middle where it normally is), and underneath the Main Menu window in the OSD, along the bottom of the overall OSD window, the word "Factory" appears
    in the middle between the control button keys (#1 for exit, and #2 for enter). (It's not normally there.)
    4. Using the down arrow key on the face of the monitor, I highlighted the "Factory" menu item, pressed the #2 key and voula! there was a whole new simple white text on bright blue background window, which among all sorts of settings included "Factory Reset"
    (which is the default selection).
    5. I pressed #2 again to accept and it was done.
    All that is left is to do is some user testing to see if the monitor behaves as new.
    Additional informtion: in the top of the "Factory" menu it reads: "LOVP AU Ver.0.36"
    I took photos of everything and will post them on my Flickr account. To find them go to wwww.flickr.com, click on the search button, then on the next screen click on the People tab, enter my name and click search.
    Thanks again for the advice.

  • Late 2012 Mac mini with OSX 10.8.2 has started shutting down instead of going into sleep mode.

    Sometime in the last week or so my mac mini has started going into full shut down instead of sleep mode.
    I have tried checking and unchecking energy saver boxes but haven't found anything which will get me back to where I used to be - and I haven't knowingly changed anything to make this happen.- maybe an OS update caused it?
    The machine will fire up with a tablet click rather than needing the reset button to be pushed so clearly the machine is sort of halfway between sleep and full 'off'. Most frustrating as one of the key issues for me in getting this my first mac was its easy sleep and super quick fire up compared to windows.
    Any help appreciated
    Oh yes  I just remembered that I did just install 2 8gb of crucial RAM (to replace the supplied 2 2gb but surely that can't have anything to do with it - can it)?

    Adding to my first post I can now advise that when the mac goes into sleep mode the light on the front stays on (it does not pulse so clearly it is not really sleeping).
    When i click the tablet / keyboard this is actually what triggers the mac to reboot
    I have tried resetting the SMC as per the following link to no avail

    Help please!

  • USB Ports don't work after sleep mode on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    I have been using my laptop for about a month without a problem, but over the last week or two I have had a problem where I lose access to all of my USB ports when resuming from sleep mode. If I go into hybernate or restart the computer, the ports
    miraculously return. The techs at the manufacturer can't figure it out and wanted me to do a full system restore, which is a little too drastic a solution! The only real thing I can connect it to, is I had to use Virtual PC (XP) around the time this
    started.

    Hi Greg,
    Microsoft has been fixed this problem, but it is not successful with all PC/Notebook manufacturers. So, the OEM developers itself started giving patch for this issue. I have seen the patch upto Windows Vista version. Lenovo, HP, Dell and other people
    are providing this patch. Sony is providing this patch for some selective models. Go to sony support, enter or auto detect your model and check for the update. With Windows 7 SP1 your USB drives should work properly.
    Anyway, check the below sony support link to understand how to wake up a USB drive after sleep in Vista, Do the equivalent modification in your Windows 7 PC registry. It will work for you.

    Hope this will work for you.
