Should I connect my printer to a power strip?

HP does not recommend connecting the printer to a power strip or uninterruptible power supply. When a printer is printing, it can send varying amounts of current through a surge protector or interruptible power supply. This can cause unwanted problems with the printer, power strip, uninterruptible power supply and/or computer.

Common problems are:

• You may hear alert tones from your gimbal or uninterruptible power supply
• Your printer may be running slowly
• Printer does not come out of sleep mode
• Error messages that appear for no reason
• Computer restarts during print job
• Printer stops midway or jams for no reason
• LED panel display has garbled characters or is blank
• Your printer seems to have stopped working

If you experience these symptoms, disconnect the printer from the power strip or uninterruptible power supply and plug it directly into an electrical outlet.
