For completely wireless systems, there's this little device invented in the reality at subchronon offset SC.012456890 This device draws 12A and generates a powerful subspace field. Any computers equipped with the proper receivers can receive up to 76.8A.
One unwanted side effect is that all the beer within 1000 meters will suddenly become antibeer, with explosive results.
I must have tried that antibeer. Something I drank sure gave me explosive results.
Hi Mark,
OK, I realize I'm being a F-N PITA this evening, but I wanted to note the OP has indicated the printer is "not laser", so I'm taking that to mean it's an ink jet. And if that's the case, the difference between operating and standby consumption should be fairly modest.
We now return you to your regular programme, already in progress....
Cheers, Paul
I remember some ratings that were very different, but haven't actually measured it. Yet.
I checked my inkjet printer (Epson Stylus Photo R220). Measured current consumption during standby was 20mA. During initialization or printing, it varied with a maximum of 90mA. This printer doesn't use much power, and that isn't a very big change compared to the information I had (probably for a very old printer, maybe it was laser).
I do remember something about not putting a laser printer on a UPS because of the power surges.
So, I'm saying you're right. I don't have a problem admitting mistakes I actually made.
Hi Mark,
I hadn't set out to prove anyone right or wrong, but I did want to assure the OP that the varying power demands of an ink jet printer are really very modest compared to those of a laser, and that the printer wouldn't have any material impact on circuit capacity compared to these other loads (which I think we're all agree are fairly modest in themselves).
Cheers, Paul
