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 Hermes.
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 B-2 to obtain a suitable cable.
