That's certainly the HX20 pinout, and it's very sensibly arranged. Any DIN plug
that will physically fit into the socket picks up a useful set of signals.
A 3-pin plug picks up ground and both data signals
5-pin adds RTS and CTS
7-pin adds DTR and DSR
and 8-pin adds DCD

The later Epsons like my PX4 used a mini-DIN, alas, where you can't play
tricks like this.
