Hi guys. I just acquired an unexpected HP-IR printer, Model no.
82240a, but it came with no AC adapter, nor manual. I would like to
find either one, or both. If I can't find the ac adapter, i will try
to replace it with a generic one, probably from radio shack. Without
the manual, I can only assume that the adapter is std 110vac in and
6vdc out through a common cannon plug, center positive. I definitely
do NOT want to let the factory installed smoke out of the printer, so
I'm trying to find out all I can before i try something that doesn't
work and/or could be dangerous to the printer. I'm not so worried
about me! ;o)

if anybody could help me find what i need, i would appreciate it very
much!

thanx!

Here's a link for the B model which uses the same adapter:

Thanks, Tom! Good to know the power management in the printer is so
forgiving! Should be no problem to find a suitable replacement. Just
saw an HP82241a adapter on another site - - - for $64!!! Yikes!

I just looked at the manual of my hp82240a and can confirm the stated
values of 9-12V AC or DC; 500-1500mA.

Though the manual states to not operate the printer without batteries,
I never had a real problem with doing exacty that :-)

The problem with batteries in the 82240a is, the printer eats them
even if not in use, i.e. if you don't switch the printer off, your
batteries are empty after only a short time. :-(
