Canon X-07 Data Cable Done Right
August 15th, 2014
It turns out that in the Finnish and French versions of the Canon X-07 manual the cassette port is described incorrectly. Maybe the port is different on the Japanese model, or maybe there was something lost in translation. Anyway, as the original data cable is kind of hard to get these days, you may want to make one of your own. Here’s the correct pinout for a PC->Canon cable:
- Pin 5 – MIC tip
- Pin 4 – EAR tip
- Pin 2 – EAR and MIC sleeve
You can, of course, leave the MIC plug out if you don’t need to transfer anything back from the machine. 3.5 mm mono plugs seem to work, even though it might be a better idea to use stereo plugs and leave the ring unconnected. Thanks to Tero H. for figuring out the correct pinout!
As you can see on the right, the English version of the manual has the pins numbered correctly.
