Gary,
I did understand your plug arrangement. Did not read the printer plugged
into the ups. Most ups docs say not to do this.
You may have your PC plugged into a "surge-only" outlet on the ups. I
did this twice!!
Think you may have "surge-only" outlets and BBU outlets.
Sorry, did not look at the outputs of the 350G.
Best,
Duncan

Why didn't I think of number 1 LOL
I unplug it and the computer switches off. The UPS then beeps to indicate no
power. So I guess the battery in the UPS is enough to keep it's monitoring up
but not the PC.
I am still wondering if the socket is bad though.

1. Test the ups by unpluging it. If the computer shuts down, the ups is bad.
2. If ups had USB cable running to the PC, you might have auto shut
down enabled.

Hi,
I have a color laser printer (Brother HL-4040CDN) and an APC BACK_UPS ES 350
plugged into the same power outlet. A PC is hung off of the UPS along with
some speakers, a harddrive and two switches. The PC is nothing special and
has 450w PSU in it (can't remember the make but can look it up if it's
important).
So the problem is when the printer comes out of sleep mode it temporarily
draws a lot more current and this causes the PC to shut down. I am assuming
I have a problem with the UPS maybe a bad battery, but the UPS is not
beeping or indicating it is bad in anyway. Am I correct in thinking the UPS
is bad, or could it be a combination of a bad power outlet and a bad UPS? I
am thinking when there is the increased current draw it delivers all the
power to the top socket and the bottom doesn't get any.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
