I have just bought an old HP Color LaserJet 4500 printer, and I would like to add a duplexer, to be able to do dual sided printing.
There are several C4083A duplexers on Ebay, but on the ones with photos I see that they are marked "100-127V 50/60Hz". We use 230V
50Hz, and I wonder if anyone knows if it would be reasonable to modify it for 230V? I would prefer not having to run a transformer.Thomas
I'd be surprised if the power supply lacked an internal jumper if not an externally accessible switch to for 120/240V. Even if you had to use a transformer, the duplexer shouldn't draw much power so it wouldn't require a very large one.
Yes, that would be my reaction also, but I have seen, on several products, that products for the US market is 120V only, while the rest of the world gets switching power supplies that accepts anything from
100 - 250V.Anyway, the problem has been solved by buying one on the German Ebay ;-) Also makes shipping cheaper and no customs :-)
