Power Consumption, Printers

To pick the right UPS, you need to know how much power your equipment consumes. Following is a list of Apple peripherals and their maximum rated power consumption. (All ratings are for 120V AC.)

Of course, if you can resend the print job, there's no reason to put a printer (especially a power hungry laserprinter) on a UPS.

Printers

• StyleWriter 1200 32W
• LaserWriter 16/600 PS 790W
• LaserWriter Select 360 450W
