Pagewide 477DW - D3Q20B#A80
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

What does the #A80 code that sometimes follows the model number of a product mean?

I have seen different websites selling he same product but with different model number. I have even found places which sell both (D3Q20B#A80 and D3Q20B) at different price tags.

Is there some important difference between the two?

 

Thanks in advance...

Hi,

The numbers following the # are simply the country code characters for the printer. The base model number is the D3Q20B, and the following numbers will change slightly based on the type of in-box documentation, power plugs, and translated materials. 

The #A80 indicates most of Europe, but not all the countries.

 

As to why there would be two different prices, I'm not sure on that. Buy the least expensive I suppose. 🙂 Just make sure you are buying the right one for your country.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I appreciate it.

Any idea where I could find more specific info about which codes cover which countries?

At the moment I have come across #A80 and #A81 and I am interested in the one that covers Greece. But I guess #A80 should cover it since #A80 indicates most of Europe as you pointed out.

 

Thanks again fro your help :generic:
