      What is the wattage draw from each of these items? In the US there is a metal tag by the power cord stating the draw either in amperes or watts, either is fine. If it's amperes: P=IV or watts = amperes x voltage
      Convert all your units to watts and add up the sum. Then buy a gasoline generator capable of supporting this maximum load.

      There are variable here I won't know:
      What voltage is used where you're at?
      What wattage draw per item? That differs based on voltage.

      I certainly hope you're not going to network these devices. Most gasoline generators do not provide a steady enough power source, even when within the proper load capacity.

      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
