Probably a dozen times over the years I've heard customers say that a copier or printer is blowing a fuse. Only once has it actually been a short in the copier (it was a Mita DC-152Z).

Every other time it was an overloaded circuit, and the copier or printer was just the last straw. The worst of which was in a home office with only one circuit, which included 5 computers, various monitors, printers, shredders, a washing machine, and an electric dryer (and a Mita copier). A total of 95 amps of potential load. =^..^=

9000's are known power hogs and must have a dedicated outlet. i've seen them display flaky things and were fine once power was cycled. Do not run them on a surge protector and try to make sure its the only thing on the circuit. The LVPS can go bad, main motor, and of course the infamous False 13.20 error (clear all sensors, if there's still a problem, replaced Fuser and DC Controller simultaneously). Other than those things I haven't seen too many problems. After a million pages examine cables harnesses carefully. I had to replace the harness that goes to the Laser Scanner.
