Once attached, does it charge by simply plugging the printer into AC using the printer's standard, supplied cord? Or, would it need to be disconnected

It charges using the printers standard power supply system. The battery wil have a blinking red light untill it is fully charged.

I just plug mine in the night before a trip, it has a green flashing light that tells you it's charging and when complete. Just like a drill battery. It's easy as heck to install too. The only complaint from me is when I buy something called a portable printer, I expect it to all ready have a battery unit in it.

Does this question refer to the optional battery? If it does then my experience is that attaching the battery and then plugging the printer into the AC does charge the battery. BTW this printer has done everything that I had hoped, including working wirelessly off of Bluetooth.

You just plug in the printer to charge the battery. Be sure to look at the lights on the printer every time you turn it on - that's where you will get the cue to charge the battery - it will flash more than usual. My battery went dead and couldn't be recharged.

You never disconnect the battery. Just plug it in with the original printer power cord and it charges. I have 3 of these printers and they work great.

Yes. You can run your printer and charge the attached battery by using its power supply.

Yes,once you attach it you leave it on perminently. I plug it in for about 2-3 hours and I'm good to go for the week. Then I only bring my cord for emergency backup. But I always power it off to make sure to save the Batteries When I'm not using it,

It will charge by plugging in the printers power cable. The battery screws on and never need to take it off

No. The printer works just fine with USB cord that is included, and it works well in the wireless mode, too.

I have the same problem sporadically. I pull out the power chord and wait a few seconds and put the plug back in. It helps sometimes. Another is to reset to default. I am not happy with this printer because of this. If you find another procedure that helps please let me know. emoryacct@gmail.com

Have you tried swapping the outlets for the computer and the printer? I think it's possible for one plug in the 2-plug outlet to go bad and the other still works. Have you tried unplugging the power cord from the back of the printer and reinserting it firmly? Sometimes they get wiggled just loose enough that they don't make the connection, but they're not completely out of the hole. Last thought - could be a bad power supply, which would explain why it worked one day and not the next. You could have a new power supply installed, however, if it is a hardware issue, it would probably be more cost effective to just replace the printer. Hope this helps!

Yes. Mine is connected to my computer by way of a standard USB cable, which is provided when you order the printer. If it prints wirelessly, I don't use it that way. Good luck.

Yes you have to use an usb port from the computer. A standard printer usb cord is used, standard usb on one end and the D on the other

It is powered via the USB connection from your computer(s). It has worked great for my husband and I sharing two printers between our two computers.

My printer was provided with a power cord. However, it is 110 voltage so any cord thatwil fit into the recepticle would probably work since it is unlikely the printer pulls a lot of amps.

This strictly power it plugs from wall to printer. Does not include usb cord for printer to computer

Without seeing the connection on the printer itself, I really can't say one way or the other. Take a look at the connection on the printer that connects to the power supply, as long as the connection is the same and if the rating for the power supply is what is suggested then you should be fine.

I charge an iphone, an ipad and run a printer while we are camping. The printer runs normally when both i devices are charging. This has not been a problem. I use the second 110 outlet at the same time to maintain a charge on a pair of walkie talkies.

Im not sure. Some printers need a transformer this is just a standard cord. Find a picture of the printer with a power cord and if it doesnt have a box the cord plugs into then i would assume it would work. Just make sure that the cord has the same input as the printer.

It has a rechargeable battery as well as the standard AC adapter. Side note: You *may* need to purchase a USB printer cable if you have Windows 8... installation for that OS is tricky. :-P

UPDATE: the battery charges up in about 45 minutes rather than 2 hours. It takes 2 hours minimum to recharge (for me). For your guest book usage you will need an extension cord. If no outlet whatsoever, I believe that Black & Decker and other manufacturers make a portable 110v. battery which is chargedup beforehand which should work. Seems like alot of trouble and expense. The pogo is a nice toy and can be useful, I have one; but you can pickup a portable HP, Epson, or Canon 4X6 printer with more capabilities, excellent quality, and better battery. (HP is good for 50-70 prints and there are extra batteries for sale if you check around--I also have an HP--other companies I'm not that familiar with.) --Hope this helps--

There should be a phone jack on your printer/copier/fax you need to connect a line from it to the device with 1 jack and plung it into a power outlet. Plug another line into your wall jack and the other end into the device with two phone jacks (the jack marked "in"). Plug that device into the wall. You should get a green light after a few seconds.

I tricks the computer in thinking that it is still USB connected. I takes a minute or so, to auto-connect to the printer when printing. I uses an IP address to talk to the Print Server I assigned 50 to mine. I have a HP all-in-one and it works great.

Good questions - had to test it to answer. It is charging my Galaxy S4 phone, both with and without AC power to the hub, and it printed fine to my laser printer with no AC power.
