Pro1000 power cord extension

[EC3]

I need to add  an additional 6 ft to the existing power cord that came with the pro 1000 printer. Does Canon make a power cord extension for the printer? If not, what specs do I need to look for in an extension?

thanks

Are you talking about the AC cord from the wall outlet to the power adapter with the figure-8 plug? There's no extension cord with figure-8 male and female ends.

Or the cord that comes out of the power adapter that goes to the printer?

Why can't you use an ordinary AC extension cord?

Is this on the level?
