Using a Laser Printer with a Power Inverter

A laser printer generally requires a pure sine wave inverter capable of producing at least 3 times the continuous wattage rating of the printer. For instance, a laser printer rated at 500 watts requires an inverter rated at 1500 watts continuous or higher.

An inkjet printer does not maintain the same requirements as a laser printer. Inkjet printers can be operated normally with a modified sine wave inverter rated to handle the printers wattage requirement.
