Interface Cable for RS-422/ RS-485
To control the Apollo by RS-422/ RS-485 interface, only the signals TDATA+,
TDATA-, RDATA+, and RDATA- are necessary.
Check the pin assignment of the interface of your computer, and use the pin
assignment of the printer as shown in Table B-1 to obtain a suitable cable.

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 Apollo.
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-1 to obtain a suitable cable.
