You can't, it's a 'feature', set for every 7 minutes of inactivity. However.....

I don't think you can turn off sleep mode. However, after the calculator goes into sleep mode, to return to where you are working just press the C/CE key (red key bottom left). The calculator will return to where you left off.

Hello , Please check below manual for more details. https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/calculators/printing-calculators/mp25dv?tab=manuals
Thanks.

Check the connections, battery, photo cell, etc.
Is cheaper to replace those than tinker with repairs.

There is a setting for darkness. Check it out in the manual or directions.

remove the printer cover, insert one spool on the left side pin, guide the ribbon though printer and inset other spool on right pin. make sure the ribbon looks like a C with the ribbon coming around the outside of each spool.

The trick is to hold down the time set button (=) until the time flashes and once the new info is entered, press time set and it will stay.  same with the date.  You kinda need to play around with it.  Thats how i learned.
