  3. Carefully route the USB cable through the trench and out the back of the machine as shown below and connect it to your computer.

    • DO NOT connect the machine to a USB port on a keyboard or a non-powered USB hub. Brother recommends that you connect the machine directly to your computer.
    • Make sure that the cable does not restrict the cover from closing, or an error may occur.
