Does the printer do a self-test without any connection to the M-100?
If you Google Canon BJ-10e manual you'll find
several sources for manual -- at least one of
which should be a FREE download. 'Surprising it's still listed!
Let us know how you do.

A nice printer; I've got three of them, never a problem.
Doesn't sound good; not likely a configuration issue.
Is the cartridge properly inserted? Does the carriage move freely?
Using the correct power supply?
I assume it does not do a self-test at all?
Have you gone through the Troubleshootin
Mine always worked fine. You do have to set the dip switches to provide a
line feed with the carriage return signal, but I don't have the info on
which switch that would be in front of me. Of course you could connect it
to a different computer to see what it does, after getting the error light

Hello – this is my first post, though I follow with interest. Greetings and
Happy New Year 2016 to my fellow Model 100 enthusiasts worldwide!
I recently purchased a Canon BJ-10e inkjet printer to use with my M100, but
after a great deal of experimentation, I haven’t been able to get the printer
Hello,
I tried just running the M100 as a console on the built-in serial port on a B+
raspberry pi. With a simple converter from Sparkfun, the pi could recognize
what was sent from the pi but the signals from the pi wouldn't drive the m100.
I then invested in a level shifter with a max232.

You would think so. But bog standard Pi images corrupt if you pull power
even if you're not doing anything.
I think the main reason is that Linux updates a "last accessed" time stamp.
So even if you're not writing to it and even if it's a system file it may
still write to the disk.
But you can tu
Jan -
ISTR that getting a NEC 8201a serial port to talk to a BS1
was trivial - No longer remember details (20 years ago); I
may have used current-limiting resistors - The BS1 allows
you to specify all the port parameters, so it was simple to
figure out what worked...

yah, that's exactly what you'd want to do - set up serial comms on that
sort of hardware hack.
you don't need flow control for TPDD protocol.. it is self limiting since
it is hand-shaking for every "packet" and each packet is small enough to be
managed by the tiny M100 buffer.

On Tue, Jan
I think I found wich pins on an early R.Pi (26 pins GPIO AFAIK) make the serial
port.
What you really would need is a Desklink or LaddieAlpha that can be shut down
from the Model T. If you could do that, pulling the plug on the R.Pi probably
wouldn't cause a problem, because you would not have

Bummer. It's never simple enough. Or …

Can't that be done ?
Anyway, I'll probably need something linke this ?

Hi Jan,
the M100 RS-232 port is not a TTL port, it is kind-of a low voltage
hybrid. It doesn't provide true full swing RS-232.
* M100 is inverted like standard RS-232
* the "high" voltage level is >> 5V
* the "low" voltage is negative, but not by much. close to 0V.
(by memory-- I'll have to hav
John,
> The pi already has a serial port it's just at TTL levels instead of rs232
Wasn't one of the criticisms of the Model T that its serial port was TTL-level
(i.e. max 5 Volt) too ?
If that is correct - and please do correct me if I'm wrong - then what's the
problem ?
