The EI expansion port was originally called the Screen Printer port because that was the
only accessory that connected directly to the TRS-80 bus.
I?m not sure if this cable was for the Screen Printer as I always thought that was a
straight through cable. But, the manuals do not indicate either way.
On another note, the box is labeled "To EI
Screen Printer Port".
Not sure what that means as the EI has a "Line Printer Card Edge"
and not something specific to the Screen Printer.
Well, that explains it all then.

The screen printer connected to the expansion interface via a dedicated cable.
