Reducing High-End Printers’ Vulnerability to Power Quality Issues

The modern copier is a tremendously complex machine with many electronic and mechanical devices. The failure or even malfunction of a single component can cause defective printing, a system outage, or even machine failure. For end users, this is an unacceptable and costly loss of productivity from a major capital investment. For dealers, this means a service call using valuable personnel and potential component or product replacement. If the problems persist, reputation damage inevitably follows. While copiers have evolved into very reliable products, they are at risk from ill-understood power quality issues.
