Model Running Surge Verdict Runtime Source
HP LaserJet Pro M110w 361W 361W Safe ~11.9h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 361 W. **Surge:** 361 W. Requires 120V AC output. Compact mono laser with a low-wattage fuser. HP publishes a single active printing value with no separate peak figure.

Field note: The lightest laser printer load in this comparison. Most power stations rated 500W+ handle it without issue. Fuser warm-up happens quickly with no noticeable surge.

Can I print from a portable power station during an outage?

Yes โ€” at 361W this is manageable for any power station rated 500W+ continuous at 120V.

Brother HL-L2460DW 470W 920W Safe ~9.2h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 470 W (active printing). **Surge:** 920 W (fuser warm-up peak). Requires 120V AC output. The fuser heating element creates a brief high-draw spike each time the printer wakes from standby or starts a new job.

Field note: The 920W fuser peak is the critical number for generator sizing. A 1000W-rated power station handles it, but a 500W station will trip on fuser warm-up even though sustained printing is only 470W.

Why does my power station shut off when I start printing?

The Brother HL-L2460DW draws 920W briefly during fuser warm-up. If your power station is rated under 1000W, it may trip on this peak even though sustained printing is only 470W.

Canon imageCLASS LBP236dw 708W 1,300W Safe ~6.1h Engineering Est.
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 708 W (derived from 120V ร— 5.9A rated current). **Surge:** 1300 W (fuser warm-up peak, OEM published maximum). Requires 120V AC output. The 1300W peak draws 10.8A briefly โ€” well above the 5.9A nominal rating.

Field note: The 1300W fuser peak is the highest in this comparison. A 1500W power station is the minimum for reliable printing. Stations rated under 1300W will trip when the fuser warms up, even if the sustained 708W draw is within their continuous rating.

Can a 1000W power station run this Canon printer?

Not reliably โ€” the fuser warm-up peaks at 1300W. You need a power station rated at least 1500W to handle the brief startup surge without tripping.

Generator Insights

With 12000 watts of surge capacity, this system can handle typical startup loads for central air compressors, well pumps, and other motor-driven equipment common in residential settings. The 6000-watt continuous rating supports sustained operation of multiple high-draw appliances simultaneously. The 6144 Wh capacity provides meaningful runtime for essential circuits during grid outages.

This unit uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, known for stable thermal behavior in stationary storage applications. The system is designed with internal protections typical of grid-tied and off-grid battery platforms. Source: EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra User Manual (manufacturer documentation).

Technical Analysis

Spec-Based โ€ข No Guarantees

Technical Breakdown

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 โ€” the fuser creates a brief high-draw spike at the start of each print job that far exceeds sustained printing wattage.

Expected Behavior

Estimated runtime: ~6.1h. Sustained printing ranges from 361W (compact HP) to 708W (Canon). Fuser warm-up peaks range from 361W to 1300W. Print jobs are short โ€” total energy per session is typically under 50 Wh. Standby power is negligible (5-9W).

Field Note

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

Can the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra power a Laser Printer?

Yes. The EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra provides 6000W running / 12000W surge. The Laser Printer needs 779W / 1431W (including 10% buffer). That leaves 5221W of running headroom and 10569W of surge margin.

How long will the Delta Pro Ultra run a Laser Printer?

Approximately 6.1 hours, based on the Laser Printer's 708W draw and the Delta Pro Ultra's 6144Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).

What Else Can You Run?

With 420W allocated to the Laser Printer, the Delta Pro Ultra still has ~3672W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
