Abstract
A computing device, such as a multifunction printer, may be configured to supply electrical power to one or more external devices. The computing device may include a user interface that can display information to a user, informing the user of the electrical power being supplied to the one or more external devices and/or of the total amount of electrical power that is available to the one or more external devices. The user may use the user interface to adjust the amount of power being supplied to each of the external devices, and the computing device may store information indicating the user's adjusted power levels and use the stored information to control the amount of power supplied to the external devices.
