<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Ok, this sounds too technical and impractical...and probably too expensive... for me to take this much further. But just so I understand, what is a “very large inverter” and what what is a “true sin”? Is there a plug and play version of what you are referring to or would it require a lot of knowledge or money to make it work? <BR>
<BR>
Finally, one last question. I have a back-up battery for my computer. Could the printer work off that or is that the same as a car battery? <BR>
<BR>
Thanks very much for your time,<BR>

1500 watts or more.<BR>
It must be a "true sin" type of inverter too.<BR>
A laser printer does not like dirty AC power or any hint of a square wave ..<BR>
