Mike,
I'm in the copier business, and we see this sort of thing a lot. In fact, I would put it as the top reason for copier problems, aside from idiot users. Anyway, be aware that the vast majority of these little strips are nothing more than cheaply made extension cords. They offer little protection, if any. IT'S HYPE, regardless of their equipment guarantees. You may have the circuit overloaded, but computer stuff draws very little current. I would suggest an upgrade type of surge protection, like a Powervar conditioner, or maybe you could drop by a copier place for one. Most sell Panaflex brand strips for around a hundred dollars that do the job nicely. The four to forty dollar ones don't cut it.
Follow Ups:
Ah yes, the idiot users. "It won't feed from drawer 1." "Um, see that line on there?" "Yes." "Don't load paper above that line." "Ah, OK.""Theres' black lines on the copies." "See that speck of whiteout on the slit glass?" "Yes." Clean it off." This will be repeated umpteen times.
You sound like you may have a clue about copy machines. Are you in the industry?
Service rep. I get to fix all the things that are "wrong" with the copiers. Before this, I worked for 23 + years in electronics & 'puters.Same Deal.
