The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged measurements. Instantaneous power draws may be substantially higher than the average.

Power regulation notice

Warning: Electrical surges can be very destructive to equipment connected to AC power sources. If you plan to operate your printer at a voltage exceeding the voltage range(s) in the following table, you must attach a suitably rated and certified power-regulating device (such as a voltage stabilizer or UPS device) to the printer power supply. Your warranty may not cover damages caused by power surges.

Total energy usage

It is sometimes helpful to calculate the total printer energy usage. Since power consumption claims are provided in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the printer spends in each mode in order to calculate energy usage. The total printer energy usage is the sum of each mode's energy usage.
