    step down 110 coverter

    there is a step down converter available which converts 220 V to 110 v, no need to change power supply and other lamps for this purpose

      Make sure you do not have a 60Hz vs 50Hz issue.

        The voltage conversion is easy, it's the Hertz the Hurts.

          Can confirm no issue running off a stepdown

          Hertz does not seam an issue

          4 months running a 3220 with no issues

            I think as long as it already converted to DC, there wouldn't be any problem with frequencies.

            The problem only happen if there are motors that connect directly to AC power supply. because the rotation speed will be affected.

            is there any motor on copier which use direct AC power? maybe the cooling fan?
