199X Canon AP1000 Serial # W13417516 199X Canon AP1000 typewriter, Serial # W13417516 Pekka Sallinen's 199X Canon AP1000 typewriter. 2024-05-04 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Pekka Sallinen: 199X Canon AP1000 Serial # W13417516 Large size Canon daisy wheel typewriter. The serial sticker has some sort of model number, "V150", but no information available about that. The rear has a place for some kind of interface, but it is closed, maybe there is a model there with some kind of accessories port or printer connection or whatever.

The machine is pleasantly quiet and has a soft knocking sound when typing. Might also be due to the age of the mechanism and somewhat thick oils in it, but anyway.

Daisy wheel is Swedish (=Sverige) Courier 10, and the keyboard also Swedish/Finnish.

I was only able to find German version of the manual, but as my German is not too good I did not study it. As one can see from the keyboard this machine has many features. One feature I learned accidentally is that if you write something, then load a new paper with the green button on the top right, and then press "PRINT" on the top right, the machine makes a copy of the typed version. It mostly does the corrected version (if you deleted characters the first time, the second tĂ­me it automatically types the correct character) but seems to get confused if you fiddle with the line too much with backspace etc.

I got this machine for free after it was on sale on an online marketplace for like 10 euro for weeks.
