Wanting to pick the brain of anyone that knows a bit about Cannon and how they operate.
I have 2 Cannon pro 100 printers.
1) My original printer that was turned off and never game back on.
2) a donor printer know to have print head issues.
Found a few interesting things that make little sense. Please tough I have read many thread on these printer and I'm aware of the normal replies. I'm looking for someone that had good scientific. info to add. For example, bad print heads destroying logic boards and visavera. Yes I get it we can not possibly know what Canaon did here but please, these are assumptions based on what some of us have seen. Of course assumptions maybe all we have
I have 2 logic boards ( type A is dead, type be has errors), these printer had 2 types. I'm still waiting on the more boards o I have 2 of each kind.
I have the legitimate maintenance tool.
I have 4 print heads.
I do not think the boards are interchangeable but unsure. If I take the board out of my donor and put it in the target printer, it comes up with errors. So I figure I will concentrate on the donor till I get my other type of logic board. This printer is mostly cleaned up and reset.
1) it goes in to maintenance mode with no errors.
2) in maintenance it prints a good test page.
3) I can reset the absorber.
4) I have a bad head that reports 5 blinks, and a good head that report no blinks. So at least I know one head is bad.
5) There is eeprom that holds the last 10 errors. The errors are b200 and 6910 and the repeat. the b200 claims its a bad print head but my guess is the main board has the issue.
If the head is bad how can it print a good test page?
The 6910 claims to be a network issue,
so? I do not use the network?
6) When I power up the printer normally, the driver says error 6910 So I'm guessing this is the error I need to work on but that does not really help much, the network is not in use.
7) The biggest issue I find in the errors, they stay in eeprom. If I move one logic board to another printer the errors follow it. I see no way to clear them out. So many of them could just be old errors. I think the way you are to work with this is to fix the first error in the list. Interestingly, and confirmed by another, if the printer is working these errors remain in eeprom. This is very pathetic. There is no way to get the errors out of maintenance mode. You must turn on the printer and let the OS tell you what is wrong. Though, here I am again though, 6910, but I'm not using any network settings.
I hate to think I know the most about this printer, because I feel pretty hopeless.
