Printers and UPS

We are connecting computer components with UPS But why printer is noted connected to UPS.By connecting, do printers become problematic ah.. Let us see the reason..

We can connect printer to UPS but subjected to some conditions. Compared to Computer,Modem,Telephones, Printers consumes more electricity for its printing process.

Especially Laser and Inkjet printers need more electricity. In home and some small organizations one computer and printer is used. So for this process UPS of power capacity 0.6 KVA to 1 KVA is being used.

If power cut occurs, and if the printer is being used then at a time power supply to both computer components and printer cannot be provided by UPS.

Moreover in computers, we may be handling/viewing some data information,if power shut down occurs then these data cannot be saved (or sometimes programs can crash).

So for these reasons,simply computer is being connected to UPS without printers. If higher end UPS of power capacity 5 KVA is used, then both computer and printed can be connected to UPS.

Thus we must be aware about power capacity of our UPS. By knowing the exact capacity (in KVA) then accordingly the computer components and printers can be connected to UPS without any problems..
