I have a Brother L2360DW Laser printer. It commonly trips the circuit breaker when I print something. Laser printers require a spike of electricity when they first begin to print.
Apparently Brother sometimes doesn’t put large enough capacitors inside their printers to accommodate the required electrical spike and not end up spiking the house-wiring.
Does anyone know, does my printer have a DC converter just inside? If so, could I simply get a large capacitor of the appropriate voltage, and solder it onto the outputs of the DC converter to keep the printer from tripping the circuit breaker?
