How many volts does a Printer have?

Question

PsyDAG · Answer

Although it will probably vary with the type of printer, the ones listed on a Google site indicated 220-240 volts. I searched under "printer volts."

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

The voltage that printers actually require varies with the model and manufactuer. I see HP specs listed online that run of voltages from 9 to 32 volts (DC), depending upon the model. That voltage is typically provided by a separate AC/DC converter that is what gets plugged into the wall plug and the printer. All of those inverters must run on 110-120 V (AC) in North America, but some may have inverters that work at the full range of 110 to 240 VAC, at either 50 or 60 Hz.
