Using the Memory Function

Embroidery data precautions

Observe the following precautions when using embroidery data other than that created and saved in this machine.

CAUTION

• When using embroidery data other than our original patterns, the thread or needle may break when sewing with a stitch density that is too fine or when sewing three or more overlapping stitches. In that case, use one of our original data design systems to edit the embroidery data.

Types of Embroidery Data That Can Be Used

• Only .pes and .dst embroidery data files can be used with this machine. Using data other than that saved using our data design systems or sewing machines may cause the embroidery machine to malfunction.

Types of USB Media That Can Be Used

Embroidery data can be recalled from a USB flash drive (USB flash memory) of any size.

Note

• Only a USB flash drive (USB flash memory) can be connected to the USB port on this machine.
  Some USB media may not be compatible with this machine. Visit our website for more details.
• When using USB media equipped with an access indicator, the access indicator will begin flashing after the media is inserted into your computer or machine, and may take about 5 to 6 seconds before the media is recognized. (The length of time differs depending on the USB media.)
• For additional information, refer to the instruction manual included with the USB media that you have purchased.

Memo

• Letters and numerals can be used in file names. In addition, if the file name contains no more than eight characters, the entire file name will appear on the screen. If the file name is more than eight characters long, only the first six characters followed by "~" and a number appear as the file name. This applies to .dst embroidery data files only.
• Only the names of .dst files are displayed.

Precautions on Using the Computer To Create and Save Data

• If the file name of embroidery data cannot be identified, for example, because the name contains special characters, the file will not be displayed. If this occurs, change the name of the file. We recommend using the 26 letters of the alphabet (uppercase and lowercase), the numbers 0 through 9, " - ", and " _".
• All designs must be within the 18cm (H)× 13 cm (W) (Approx. 7 inches (H)× 5 inches (W)) design field size.
• If the selected pattern does not fit within the 18cm (H)× 13 cm (W) (Approx. 7 inches (H)× 5 inches (W)) design field size unless it is rotated 90 degrees, a message appears, asking if you wish to rotate the pattern 90 degrees.
• .pes files saved with the number of stitches, the number of colors and the number of combined patterns exceeding the specified limits cannot be displayed. Use one of our original data design systems to edit the embroidery pattern so that it meets the required specifications.
• Even if the embroidery unit is not attached, the machine will recognize embroidery data.
• Save the patterns in the root directory of the USB media. If embroidery data is saved in a folder on USB media, that embroidery data cannot be retrieved by the machine.

Tajima (.dst) Embroidery Data

• When a .dst file is imported, the only way that you can view the design is by selecting the pattern (file name).

Then press display the design on the screen.

Transferring embroidery patterns from the computer to machine

Note

• Only a USB flash drive (USB flash memory) can be connected to the USB port on this machine.
  An embroidery pattern can be transferred to the machine from USB media containing data for no more than 200 embroidery patterns.
• Embroidery patterns cannot be transferred to the machine if the USB media contains data for more than 200 embroidery patterns. In this case, reduce the number of designs saved on the USB media.
• In addition, if the embroidery designs contain too many colors (this number may vary within the designs themselves), it may not be possible to transfer an embroidery pattern to the machine, even if there are less than 200 embroidery patterns that have been saved on the USB media. In this case also, reduce the number of designs saved on the USB media.
• Save the patterns in the root directory of the USB media. If embroidery data is saved in a folder on USB media, that embroidery data cannot be retrieved by the machine.
