My Epson SP 2880 printer is plugged into a battery backup outlet on my APC UPS. APC does not recommend this but, instead, wants the user to plug it into a surge protected outlet that is not backed up by battery power.
Epson cautions against pulling the plug on the printer and says that you should always shut it down via the on-off switch. Obviously, a battery backup would prevent the equivalent of pulling the plug in the event of a power outage. I always turn off both the computer and the printer when I leave, so I would be able to manually shut down if the power goes out.
Any thoughts about the discrepancy between APC and Epson?
