Double click on the icon of the printer if the user wants to reconnect online. Step 2 The list includes all the printers currently setup on the serving computer.

To turn the back on ‘online’ after a valid issue happened, here are a list of steps to follow to allow the printer to go online: However if the ‘offline’ thing occurred because the user made some changes in the computer, it is a valid issue. In some instances a simple reboot of the device is all is needed to turn it back online. This is inherent in all printers because a shortfall in power would naturally affect the performance of the device. You can connect your Brother MFC-J4510DW printer to your wireless network, allowing you to print to it from any computer or device that is connected to your network. Printers are sensitive devices that easily reacts and send a ‘printer offline’ message even when there is only a little deviation in the power supply. Printer technology has advanced a lot over the past few years, to the point where you don’t actually need to physically connect your printer to your computer. The problem is diverse and only a critical assessment can pinpoint the actual cause, so remedial measures can be taken up. Trouble can happen anywhere along the line, a system hardware failure cannot also be discounted. Printer issues can be due to overload, or perhaps it may be an issue with the driver, or the network may be undergoing some connectivity problems and also loose connection might be the culprit.

Brother printer offline is no exception as it also has its share of issues. I am waiting now for the tech at the hospital to contact me.A printer going offline regularly happens because of varying conditions, particularly the WIFI, connectivity and power supply issues.

I am not sure if both wired and wireless will work together but I be willing to give it a try. Also thanks and I did see that if the Wireless is enabled the printer will not deep sleep. It did not find an IP address at that first initial connection. I am almost positive they are not using DHCP because the printer was set by default for that when I first attached it to their network. I'd see if you can simply enable wireless without actually connecting to a Wi-Fi and see if that works(if you're allowed to) Can you try setting the printer to DHCP and see if it pickups a reserved IP?Īlso, the advanced user guide states that if Wireless Network is enabled the printer will not go into deep sleep mode.

I'm not clear on what you mean by 'The only thing I know about the hospital network is that they do not use DHCP but are using some sort of print server and physically assign an IP address to the port the printer is on using the Printer's Mac address.' Is there anything on the printer I can change so not to lose connection?Is there anything I can tell their techs to try on their side so it does not lose connection? This model Brothers printer will not allow me to turn of the deep sleep. They have never come up with a solution other than turning off the sleep mode on the printers. The techs at the hospital say they have had the same problem with certain model contracted printers but not the Brother so far. The only thing I know about the hospital network is that they do not use DHCP but are using some sort of print server and physically assign an IP address to the port the printer is on using the Printer's Mac address. That is until the printer goes to sleep again. then if I change it the IP back to what they gave me all the computers can access the printer. Also the mask and gateway remain the same. If I do a reset on the printer network settings they stay the same but the IP address has a different last number. If I go into the printer settings the IP address, Mask, and gateway that they gave me to put in is still there. When I turn the printer off and then on again the connection is still lost. When the printer goes into Deep Sleep it loses connection with their network. I recentely installed a Brother MFC-8710DW to a hospital wired network.
