No flashing led lights on the handheld interface and still problems with the cable. Beginning to loose faith, but a couple of questions.

Is the parallel port actually necessary or was it just a means to print?
What’s the default position of the toggle switch, just visible or pressed in?
The computer doesn’t like DST0006V but will read DST0004, is this a problem?

I’d really like to hear from any T4 operators who use the original Dell C610. I’m afraid my Windows skills are very limited, and I’d appreciate any help I can get in bringing the T4 back to life.

Help!

Strictly speaking you dont need to change the duplex or speed settings for the NIC on the laptop unless you have a very early T4 interface with old firmware, most units work fine using auto negotiation.

"No flashing led lights on the handheld interface" - can you explain further as the T4 interface is certainly not a handheld device!
