If it were me, I would first use my meter to verify the outlet is providing the proper voltage for the MFP, then ask their electrician to verify if the MFP is on a dedicated 15 amp circuit (outlet and circuit are not the same). I suspect it isn't so the next step is to have the electrician connect a power monitoring device (recorder) and see if the voltage ever drops below the MFP requirement. If it does, then they can either disconnect the other devices/equipment on the same circuit, install a new dedicated circuit, or get use to resetting the codes.
I feel compelled to point out that power is only a possible issue and troubleshooting long distance is "iffy" at best.
