Please be aware that all printers have different electrical requirements and connector options.

Make SURE you are selecting the proper adapter for your particular Model to avoid doing damage to your printer.

Power Cords and Power Modules

Which do I need?

Power Cord

A Power Cord is the cable that plugs into the wall outlet on one end and connects to the Power Module on the other end. A typical Power Cord is shown below.

THERE ARE GENERALLY 4 TYPES OF AC POWER SUPPLY / ADAPTER's  MAINS CABLE CONFIGURATIONS are as follows:

• TYPE C5 - GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS "CLOVERLEAF" or “MICKEY MOUSE” WITH A 3-PIN      CONNECTOR

• TYPE C7 - GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS "FIGURE-8" WITH A 2-PIN CONNECTOR

• TYPE  C13 - GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS "KETTLE" TYPE - THE STANDARD CONNECTOR USED BY MOST DESKTOP PCS, MONITORS, PRINTERS ETC.

• MOULDED - SOME AC ADAPTERS HAVE A MOULDED CONNECTOR , EITHER UK, EURO OR USA TYPE - In that case NO EXTERNAL MAIN CABLE WILL BE NEEDED.

Power Module (AC Adapter)

A Power Module or AC Adapter connects to the powered device (Printer, Scanner, Laptop, etc.) and converts the AC input to the power levels required by the device. A typical Power Module is shown below.
