Either you make sure that its power specs include accepting the common European 230V 50Hz power, or you find a transformer to do a step-down of the voltage to what the unit can handle. If it doesn't say it can handle 50Hz, you're out of luck.<br />

What do I need to do to make a printer I buy in the US work in Europe, in terms of making sure the increased voltage does not fry it? <br />
<br />
(I am specifically thinking about the HP OfficeJet 5510 All-In-One Printer, Fax, Scanner, Copier, but I suppose this would apply to any printer.)<br />

Thanks.

Using US printers in Europe.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
