Although printers are becoming increasingly efficient and require less energy overall, the increasing print speed drives peak power consumption to higher levels. The peak power load ratings of power supplies are often not listed in the manufacturer documentation. Therefore, caution should be exercised when selecting the power supply.
The selection of the right power supply is all too often underestimated.
Many system malfunctions are attributable to this.
Whether a power supply is suitable for a modern thermal printer cannot be directly determined from the technical specifications of the power adapter or battery manufacturer.
Printer manufacturers therefore conduct long series of tests to determine the optimal power supply for their devices.
