The pins on the driver are :-
1	Step -	
2	Step +	
3	Dir -	
4	Dir+	
5	Free -	_enable ?
6	Free +	
7	N.C.	
8	N.C.	
9	N.C.	
10	N.C.	
11	N.C.	
12	N.C.	
13	C pole	Timing
14	E pole	"
15	C pole	OH (overheat ?)
16	E pole	"
.
I am going to connect step+ and dir+ to +5v and use the step- and dir- to control the stepper. All the other pins will be unconnected. I am presuming that internal resistors in the driver will take care of the 'Free'. I have no idea what C pole and E pole means.

Found this crappy translation but it helps.

Drive has 3 opto signal inputs, it can be either step/dir or CW/CCW control, Free is the enable signal.
There are also 2 outputs for drive faults.

Pulled and edited the relevant text:

CW- CW+ Pulse signal input: Drive response to the rising edge of the pulse signal (internal optocoupler current to flow through) signal is high, the range of 4-5V, low 0-0.5V. For reliable response to the pulse signal, the pulse width should be greater than 2.5ms.

DR/CC- DR / CC+ Direction of the signal / reverse pulse input: Single pulse signal for the direction, in order to ensure motor reliable commutation, the direction of the signal should be the pulse signal is at least 5ms establish. 

FREE- FREE+ (6 feet) Off-line signal input: When this signal is active, the drive to force cut off the motor current, the motor is in a free active when this signal is in an invalid state, the normal current of the driver output, the motor is locked.

TIM Pole E-pole Motor relative to the origin of the signal output: This signal output and TIM light synchronization, in some specific occasions for.

O. H Pole E-pole Protection action signal output: This output signal is synchronized with the O.H indicator. Use this signal when the drive protected action can notify the host computer drive is faulty.
