Use Standard > Send to Device/Machine to send the current design to a named EmbroideryConnect device via WLAN.

Once you have configured one or more embroidery machines on your network, you can send designs to any named device from a computer running EmbroideryStudio on your local Wi-Fi network. You can also read designs from a connected machine into your EmbroideryStudio software.

To send a design to an EmbroideryConnect device...

1Open EmbroideryStudio and load the design or designs you want to send to device.

2Make sure EmbroideryHub is running and that any devices on the network have been properly configured.

Note: The EmbroideryHub PC must be connected to the same local Wi-Fi network as any connected devices.

3From the Standard toolbar, choose Send to Device/Machine. Alternatively, select the command from the File menu. The dialog will display a list of configured devices. Both connected and disconnected devices will be listed.

Tip: If you want to send a design to a ‘disconnected’ EmbroideryConnect device, ensure the embroidery machine is powered on and the device connected, then click the Refresh button.

4Choose a connected EC device and click Send. The design will be automatically converted to the selected machine file format and sent to the device.
