Centronics Interface Cable
The cables used for Centronics interface connectors are standard cables, so that normally
there are no problems with the external control of the printer.
In the event of any difficulties, consult the manufacturer of your computer on the pin
assignment of the computer's interface. Use the pin assignment of the printer as shown in
table C-2 to obtain a suitable cable.
