(For more information about creating settings files, see 5.3 Create JSON Files.)
1. Make sure the device list contains all the devices you want.
2. Select Send files from the drop-down list.
3. Set the file you want to send to the target devices:
a) Click the Set file button, or right-click one of the target devices
and select Set file.
b) Select the file you want and click the Open button.
(When you select a file from a USB flash drive, or if you select an
EDPK file, you must enter the password for the file.)
The selected file is set, and the name of the file appears in the File name column.
While a settings file (JSON, DPK, or EDPK) is set and its details appear on the Send files screen, you can
enter or edit the information in the text boxes of the Node name (wired), Node name (wireless), Contact,
or Location column.
4. Click the Send button in the lower right corner of the screen.
Alternatively, you can use a USB flash drive to deploy settings to a device.

The EDPK file password and the device password must be the same.
2. Copy it onto a USB flash drive.
3. Insert the USB flash drive into the Brother device’s USB port.
