Re: [Digital BW] Purchase-Ship 2100 to USA

2005-02-17 by jsdriggers

Thanks Paul.  The 2200 sold here (in the US) is multivoltage, so I am hoping one of the 
British list members with a 2100 can look on the back of their printer and tell me if the 
2100 is also multivoltage.  You can't tell from the epson tech specs on their site.  I agree 
that a transformer is not a good solution, hence my question. After a few months in the 
US, the printer and I hope to go to AU.

I think--but don't know for sure, that the 1280/90 are single voltage printers.

(and thanks to B Ellis for the Rbt White recommendation)
