Step 2. Solder those wires, that don't go through a diode, on the other end of the cable onto the parallel plug. These include the following connections:

DIN plug Parallel plug
2, GND 18-25, GND
3, ATN 13, Select
4, CLK 12, PaperEnd
5, DATA 10, Ack
6, RESET 11, Busy

Step 3. Build the diode bridges between the appropriate pins of the parallel plug. These include the following connections:

Parallel plug Parallel plug
13, Select 1, Strobe
12, PaperEnd 14, AutoFeed
11, Busy 17, SelectIn
10, Ack 16, Init

The cathodes of the diodes should be pointing towards the pins in the right column of the table.
