A:Answer The Nameplate specification is 4.1amps, I put my "kill-o-watt" meter on it. It measured 5.4 amps very briefly during startup, (1-2 seconds) then it dropped to 0.2 amps (sleep mode) . Printing surged to 5.8 amps, then quickly dropped to around 4 amps during the rest of the process.
As a comparison... a modern LCD big screen TV uses 1-2 amps, and a 2 slot toaster uses roughly 8.5 amps. If the circuit that you are using is already heavily loaded, then yes, one could pop a breaker.
