Re: [M100] Printing from RS232 port?

[Jesse Bertier]

Yes, I’ve printed to a TP-10 thermal printer, which runs I believe at 600 baud. However, I did so directly using BASIC.  In theory I could just as easily write a basic program to send a document to the printer.  However, this was not as easy as printing directly from the text writer program, as that supports a parallel printer only I believe. One thing on my TODO list is to see if I can intercept that print routine and write my own handler to write to the serial port directly from the text editor program.  I wrote up my experience on the serial printer here: TP-10 Thermal Printer n1ugk.com Sent from my iPhone On Nov 15, 2023, at 5:13 PM, Lee Osborne <leeosbo...@fastmail.co.uk> wrote:  Hey everyone... Is it possible to print from the serial port on a Model 100? If so, how is it done? I have a Brother EP44 typewriter with built in RS232 port, and a double ended 25 pin cable which I hope is suitable, but I'm scratching my head getting it to do anything. Pointers appreciated. Lee
