On another note since we're talking about Brothers: My Brother fax machine is listed at 125 Volts instead of the normal 120V. I have 3 different UPS back-up devices and all kick-off or alert everytime the machine is used/comes on/etc. So I've had to just use the surge protector side of the UPS. I would really like my fax machine to have battery back-up. Anyone else have this problem? There must be a solution for this. My CyberPower UPS has a setting for up to 140V in theory but it still kicks it off if the Fax machine kicks on. Weird.
A lot of laser printers (which the 8890 is) require too much amperage to run on a surge protector. It's not the voltage, but the amperage. They will suck the power out of the battery in a few seconds.
