Pc Power question

[greggpb]

WE have an isolated power circuit at work(red plugs) all the pc's are on it..
I have just added all the monitors to it...

Can I add the Printers to it aswell.. ?

No you should not. Laser printers flactuate when they charge up and print drawing lots of power and then using minimal power in stand-by mode.

won't kill you UPS, but will degrade it over time, but that would depend on how many printers you want to put on. One or two = fine, but like 20 or 30 would not be to advisable

Is it clean or UPS power? Normally adding laser printers is not such a good idea if you on a UPS....

It's Clean power.. we have a warehouse at the office, when we have welding the power goes belly up .. so all the computer's are on the clean power..

But the staff can't print

Then it should be OK to put the printers on. Actually it would be a good idea if the welding is causing spikes that effect the PCs....
