Sam, I looked all over Brother's site and can't find any info on any PC accessories for that embroidery machine except a USB card reader. If you can give me a link to the applicable online manual for that accessory, I may be able to help you.

That makes a LOT more sense!

By the way, it also looks like 4.0 is an old discontinued version - 6.0 is current.
