I own an HP LaserJet 2100se (C4138A) purchased in the US. I want to take the printer and work in mainland China for a while.

****************************
Electrical Specs of HP LaseJet 2100 (from the User's Manual)
100-127V (+/- 10%)
50/60Hz (+/- 2Hz)

However the User's Manual has no electrical description for HP LaserJet 2100se I own.

Basing on the above electrical specs, I suspect I can't use the printer like I use it in the States. I e-mailed HP, and expectedly got reply saying that due to regulatory laws they can't recommend use of printer with 110V in a non-110V country and vice vera.

I am inclined to get a good voltage transformer for use of the printer in China. I want to know is whethere it is practically possible from an end user's perspective.
Voltage transformer such as one at this site: http://www.voltageconverters.com/v [...] rters.html

Questions:
1. Can anyone kindly advise if this is feasible?

2. Is there anything else other than voltage and frequency differences I have overlooked?

Thanks for your time and help!!!
