How many watts does this one need? I'm in Europe and if I buy it I have to make sure that I have a Voltage Converter that is big enough.

You won't need a Convertor it has a switching power supply that is auto ranging and frequency sensing. At the most all you will need is a power cord adapter but I believe it came with a European power cord.

Can anyone confirm this ? WB5MGR , I want to use this printer when I travel to the middle east (220v) . Is it safe to plug this printer directly into a 220v outlet ? Thank you .

From the Brother website:Power Consumption - Sleep/Ready/Printing0.7W (Sleep WLAN On: 2.9W)/4.9W/727WI would say that, for safety reasons, given the high power consumption of this printer while printing, you definitely should plug it directly into a wall socket, and, not into a power strip. And, frankly, I think it would be advisable to buy a printer that uses your native voltage -- using a converter with a device such as this that draws a substantial current is probably also not advisable.

I Am Sorry But I Do Not Know. Perhaps If You Look It Up On Their Website It May Tell you.

As long as you get an appropriate power adapter/converter for the European power grid it should work as needed.

Hi, I cannot answer that question,I bought it for My Ex wife And I never looked into the package. From My experience with electrical purchases,If I had to guess,I would say it doesn,t work,and Yes You would need a converter,especially in Eastern Europe ,where the current is usually 220.

I believe this works with 110v, so you may need a converter to step down the current if its 220v in Europe, or an adapter to fit it in the wall plug.

I would go to the website first to find the voltage requirements and (potentially) get a model number. Then come back and see if you can find it here.

Hi there - it is 120V only which I would assume means that it can not be used in Europe without a converter.

12V should be more than enough. I believe the power adapter I used was only 3.4V (or at least not more than 5V), and it worked perfectly.

the recommendation is to have a much stronger converter from the device you 're using. Other people say you need twice as strong. You should probably look into spending a little more and get a 2500 or 3000 watts.

as long as the converter is for the amount of watts you would need a 30 watt converter.

That's more than enough watts. It should work with your power supply too. However, I would check any specifics on both manufacturers websites.

This wattage is good for larger items like a UK TV, video machine, amplifier, etc. A smaller, 200W type converter would be ok - always get at least three times more wattage than you need as some items create a power surge when you first turn them on and can trip a transformer out. Hope that's some help.

The power supply is dual voltage, all you would need is a US-European plug adapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/CVID-Grounded-European-Adapter-Adaptor/dp/B0098B5GN8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1382032929&sr=8-5&keywords=us+to+european+plug+adapter

I recommend you contact the manufacturer and ask for one. They have pretty good customer service and may just send you one for free. if that doesn't work, you can try purchasing a "universal" power supply (actually a transformer) that can be set to the proper watts and that might work ok. Good luck!

The electrical voltage in Europe is not the same as USA.....as you know......I can not remember the correct adapter, so Radio Shack or Best Buys will have the correct adapter.Best Regards

I would find out what the electrical specifications are for the country you are going to and then purchase an adapter if one is needed. Should be easy enough.

Nope, the european voltage is not compatible -- only with a convertor. I am using it though for more than 2 years and works just fine!

I would not try to use it in Europe. Instead, I would buy a similar model that runs on the European voltage standard. Otherwise, you can ruin the device -- even with a voltage converter.
