Centronics connector

The Centronics interface uses an Amphenol 36-pin connector, #57-40360 or equivalent. This connector mates with an Amphenol #57-30360 or equivalent connector and is illustrated in figure 1-1. Centronics compatible Epson type interfaces for personal computers can also be used on the 4213. A standard female Centronics cable connection is supplied. The signals associated with each pin are described in Table 1-2. on the following page. Figure 1-1 shows the Centronics interface connector.
