The label on the printer reads:

220-240 volts    50-60 Hz    0.2A

Don“t really know what he means by watts, maybe he means amps which 
is the 0.2A The printers voltage draw should be controlled by the 
internal power supply. Forget where I left the spec sheet but you 
could check the differences by comparing the specs on the US and 
European site. If not let me know and I will root out the spec sheet. 
Hz refers to cycle which usually relates to voltage. One sure way to 
solve this is to contact a European Embassy in the US and ask where 
they buy their transformers for the electrical goods that their 
diplomats import to the US.
