Page: 17 Service Guide PM3410 Chapter 2 Principles of Operation 2.1.04 Interface Control The printer is capable of serial or parallel operation. The desired interface method is selected by sliding the interface cover to expose the desired connector. When this is done, the interface select switch is turned ON or OFF to inform the Interface/Motor Control LSI (Q5: B562 13497) of the selected interface.
Page 31
The interface signals (DTR, RTS, SSD and TD) output from Q5 are converted from TTL levels to RS232-C levels by the line driver (Q12) and sent to the serial interface connector.

When the front access cover is opened, the CVOPEN-N signal is sent to the MPU from the cover interlock microswitch. The MPU will halt printing immediately and light the ALARM Lamp. Copyright 1997, Okidata, Division of OKI America, Inc. All rights reserved. See the OKIDATA Business Partner Exchange (BPX) for any updates to this material. (http://bpx.okidata.com)
When the printer detects an out of paper condition, the PEN (Paper End) signal goes low, the printing is stopped and the ALARM LAMP is turned ON.
