Will this work with a Brother SE400 and when I create the Monogram, do I save it to the computer, or connect the usb and monogram from the program

Yes it will work with the se400. Just be sure the design doesn't exceed the 4x4 capability of the machine. What I did is set up an embroidery file on my computer and I save the designs to that file. I connect the computer to the sewing machine and select the design I want to do and send it to the machine.

This unit should work with any printer that has a USB connection. Each computer thinks it is is the only one connected to the printer. I would suggest pressing the desired switch for computer A or B before starting the print job because the computer has to know it has communication before it will send the print job. On occastion mine fails so I just cancel the print job, operate the switch back and forth to "re-establish" communication and I am good to go.

If your machine works the PES digitizing code yes Otherwie if your machine uses another system You would have to find out what system it is. (look in the instruction mannual.) If its a different , you need an embroidery software that can convert from the system to the embroidery card uses to yours

It did not work for me. A computer guru neighbor said it probably did not coordinate with my hardware. I got it about 18 mo ago for my Toshiba I bought new in 2006 to print on our Lexmark Printer. I was disappointed, but relieved that I had not paid $50 or 100 for it! Not being wise about equipment, I cannot answer your question. But good luck to you.

Sorry to say, I don't know. I use another program, Designers Gallery to convert files from hus, pcs, vip, sew,jef,exp, dst into pes files and then use brother design to expand, change, modify etc.

Deena,Yes it should be compatible, it is listed in the specs sheet here:http://welcome.brother.com/sg-en/products-services/multi-function-centres/mfc-j430w.tab2.htmlScroll down to "software".If you have problems, you can refer to this:http://www.brother-usa.com/FAQs/Solution.aspx?FAQID=200000028989&I have not used my printer on Mac, only Linux(Ubuntu) and Windows, but I think it should work just fine on MAC.

Plug the machine USB into the computer, once the machine recognizes it, you can upload/save the design directly to the machine. I have had this problem also. Remember to choose PES format.

If it is wireless or USB and If you have the install disk I don't see why not. If you don't have the disk are the drivers available on line from Brother.

Yes, I use it with the Brother HE1. The included 4mb card and card reader/writer is required to activate and use the design software. works great!

Windows 7 for sure yes! Brother SE270D I am not sure. I have the 425 however as long as the 270 is USB capable and is an embroidery machine I would think so. I would contact monogram wizard directly though to find out. Hope that helps!

It definitely works with a PC. The problem you might have is transferring the OCR data to whatever program you want to incorporate the data into.

I am using it with an old Alps ribbon cassette printer. Printer drivers would only work under XP or older but the cable worked fine. Ill try and give it a test on Linux tonight, what distro are you using? Mine will be loaded in a VM so I might be throwing another gear in the mix that could cause issues so hopefully someone else will chime in as well.

Had to download the drivers from the Brother website. Once installed from the downloaded file there were no problems. Windows did not have the correct drivers.

Hi Margarita, I was really unhappy about this item. It did not work at all for me. If the printer is a USB printer, you may have more luck than I did, but older printers, using a parallel to USB converter do not work well. If I was you, I'd choose a better device, this one is not worth the money.

I purchased one of these about 1 year ago - after I figured out how to attach (I googled & watched Utube video) it worked like a charm. I have a Brother machine - not sure about Janome, but if it works, you will love it!

You will also need a PED for downloading the designs to the card. See. http://www.amazon.com/Brother-PED-Basic-Software-Downloading-Embroidery/dp/B000GTNEEO/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1375717405&sr=8-18&keywords=Embroidery+machines. You'll have to check the website to see if it is compatible with your machine. Hope this answers your question.
