1815dn power consumption?
Does anyone know the power consumption of the Dell 1815dn?
It does not say on the tech specs page
http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/print_1815dn?~tab=specstab
I would like to know the power consumption when the machine is in sleep mode and when operational.
This information is given for other printesr, e.g. 1700n
Power Consumption Operational:600W
Power Consumption Sleep: 20W
but not for the new 1815dn.
The tech specs are also missing important information like the "Sound Emission". Can someone at Dell please update the tech specs for 1815dn?
Thanks.

I plugged my Kill-A-Watt into the 1815dn today to get the real answer:The power levels are as follows:Standby, fan is running: 15WStandby, fan off: 14WScanning: 24WStartup: 850WPrinting: 850+W (!!)The standby power requirements are much better than the Dell documents would have you believe, but the printing situation is dramatically worse. This won't affect your power bill all that much unless you are doing a lot of printing, but you do need to be careful about what else is plugged into the same circuit. My UPS engages every time the printer starts printing.

http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/print/dell_laser_1815dn.pdf
Power Consumption Operational: 450W
Power Consumption Sleep: 30W
30W in sleep mode is not bad, but that'll cost a few bucks a month in electricity (the 1710n consumes only 20W in sleep mode).
BTW, the sound information is there also:
Sound Emission
Print: 54dB
Copy: 55dB
Standby: 39dB
