How to hook up Slo-Syn 230 Translator Drive

Does anyone have any information on how to hook up a Slo-Syn 230-TH
Translator Drive Module to a power supply, stepper motor, and parallel port
for EMC?

The pin outs are labled as follows (best viewed with fixed font):

Left Right

!PU ----8

1---- VOM CW/!CCW ----7

2---- H/!F ----6
0 Motor
0 phase A
0
3---- AWO ----5

4----VM !Reduce Current ----4

5---- Logic Com. ----3
0 Motor
0 phase B
0
6---- Out ----2
/
Opto Supply
\
7---- VOM In ----1

Some of these are clear others are not(at least to me I new to steppers and
stepper controllers).
It looks like the contacts on the left are motor related and the ones on
the right are logic level related.

Here are some of my guesses
Right 8 = !step
Right 7 = Clockwise/!CounterClockWise
Right 6 = Half Step / !Full step
Right 5 = AWO ??
Right 4 = as says !Reduced Current
Right 3 = Logic Common
Right 2 = V+ for Opto Isolator supply ??
Right 1 = V0 for Opto Isolator supply ??

Left 1 = V0 for Motor tied to pin 7 ??
Left 2 & 3 As says motor Phase A
Left 4 = V+ for Motor (30 volts )
Left 5 & 6 As says motor Phase B
Left 7 = V0 for Motor tied to pin 1 ??

I'm just learning about stepper control.

Thanks,
