The manufacturer should have an interface cable made up for the model you need. This is the best option, because, if you are wrong on the connections, you will blow the system board. Our KM devices are 4(maybe 6) pin connectors. Emujo

You can find vender interface on PWB-SIF - small L shaped board at the back of the machine. Below connection schematics.

You can connect directly to the Plug-In Counter plug or solder directly to the wires, BUT DO THIS ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!

The other thing is that depending on what you are trying to achieve, this plug may be of no use to you as it will simply count A4 and A3 clicks, not B&W vs. Colour.

That machine should have account track built in to the machine. Turn it on load username and password then download readings at end of month.
