These days, it might be safe to say that most do, but it's still a good question to ask. It's best not to assume. Fortunately, this bit of info is usually disclosed in the product literature and it should be visible on the power supply itself. |

Your comment is true but I had downloaded the User's Guide for the printer and checked before I posted that note. That model printer requires 100 to 120V 50/60 Hz. The OP could add to his cost and buy a transformer. |

Pould you use only black cartridges in all the cartridge slots ? No, each cartridge comes with a microchip with its color type imprinted. I have heard of hacking these though, but this beyond my pay scale. |

No digging around the guts to try to find them. And the cartridges are large too. Very, very easy to change the cartridges. runs in the $150 range. Customer is tickled and so am I. I would own this unit myself, although I'd look for a step up with a larger paper tray. Thank you for all the help and tips! -T |
