Power Requirements; Ac Adapter; Pcb Input Power - Dymo LabelWriter 400 Series Technical Reference Manual

Power Requirements

The LabelWriter 400 series printers are normally supplied with an external, universal
(100 – 240 VAC) AC power adapter. For OEM applications, a DC voltage can also be
supplied to the main printed circuit board (PCB) of the printer using the JP2 connector.
Note: The printers have been tested and certified for EMC and safety requirements using
the supplied AC adapter. Supplying a non-DYMO power source may change the EMC
and safety certifications.
Input power is variable based on the amount of information printed and the duty cycle of
the label printing. The ratings below are based on normal printer usage, except where
specified.
The printer driver (print commands from the host computer) controls some printing
parameters and will change maximum power usage.
