Solved: Dual Voltage LaserJet Pro MFP M29 w? - HP Support Community

Good Morning

I have just purchased a LaserJet Pro MFP M29w all in one printer from the US . (10A 125V ~) is written on the power cord . my question is does this mean that it will not operate on countries that use 220 v? if not can you please show me where i can purchase the same laserjet printer that have a dual voltage ? I have looked online in many suppliers and could not find one.

Thank you.

There is not a dual-voltage model for most laser printers and the reason for that is the fuser (heating assembly) is powered off the main line voltage and as there is only one heating element in the fuser it has to be either 110 or 220. If you are looking for dual voltage you are better off considering an inkjet printer as some of those are dual voltage because everything in the unit is powered from the power supply which can be dual voltage. Your best solution if you need dual voltage is the get a step down transformer to convert the voltage source to 110V. Just make sure you get one with enough current capacity to handle the load, as even a small laserjet can draw 8 or more amps on startup.

Thank you for your time and reply.

is there a specific step down transformer that I can buy for my laserjet model or are they universal?
