I just bought a Brother BW laser printer.
Works great !
EXCEPT:  when I first turn it on, and a USP is also on line, the UPS will turn off.
After turning it back on while the laser is on, all runs well.
Seems that the initial power on of the laser  is a bit much for the 15 amp circuit breaker?
QuestionL can I swap the 15 amp CB for a 20 amp unit. I realize that the size wiring might be just a tad small for a continuous 20 amp load but the actual load is no where that high . Just for the instant the laser comes on.
Can I make the CB swap?
Appreciate an opinion from the experts here!
Thanks
TomL
