Voltage issue

andicap · 10-15-2007, 08:06 AM

My printer supports only 110 volts and I recently moved from the US to the UK which supports only 220-240 devices
Is there an adapter I can get that will allow me to use this printer? The cord BTW has three prongs.

Thanks.

The only thing I can think of off-hand is an ac/dc convertor or voltage convertor, which similar in size to a battery backup. There are not adapters that I am aware of.

After I posted this note I read about "step down" converters for this purpose.
Have you heard of them?

thanks for your response!
