What to Know About the Laser Printer
Power Profile
Running load: 708 W (worst case). Surge: 1300 W (fuser warm-up peak). Voltage: 120 V AC required. Laser printers are heating-element-dominant loads — the fuser creates a brief high-draw spike at the start of each print job that far exceeds sustained printing wattage.
Real-World Usage
Sustained printing ranges from 361W (compact HP) to 708W (Canon). Fuser warm-up peaks range from 361W to 1300W. Print jobs are short — total energy per session is typically under 50 Wh. Standby power is negligible (5-9W).
Pro Tip
Size your power station for the fuser peak, not the sustained printing draw. A printer rated at 708W running still needs 1300W surge headroom. Check your specific model's peak wattage before buying a power station.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many power stations can run a Laser Printer?
Out of 33 portable power stations we tested, 26 can safely run a Laser Printer (26 with full safety margin, 0 at tight margin). 7 are incompatible.
What specs should I look for to run a Laser Printer?
Your power station needs at least 708W continuous output and 1,300W surge capacity. We recommend a safety buffer of 10% above these minimums for reliable operation.
How do we test compatibility?
Every pairing is evaluated using our True Surge protocol: we compare OEM-verified running watts, surge watts, and voltage requirements against each power station's published specs, with load-profile-specific safety buffers applied. Read our full methodology.
Can I run a laser printer on a portable power station?
Only if your power source can supply at least 708W continuous and 1300W surge at 120V. Laser printers need surge headroom for fuser warm-up.
