IBM PC-compatible computer equipped with a USB port as standard equipment

Precautions on using the computer to create data

If the name of embroidery data file/folder cannot be identified, for example, because the name contains special characters or symbols, the file/folder is not displayed. If this occurs, change the name of the file/ folder. We recommend using the 26 letters of the alphabet (uppercase and lowercase), the numbers 0 through 9, the dash “-”, and the underline “_”. Do not use comma “,” or period “.” in the file name.

If embroidery data larger than 200 mm (H) × 300 mm (W)

(approx. 7-7/8 inches (H) × 11-3/4 inches (W)) is selected, a message is shown at the right asking if you wish to rotate the pattern 90 degrees. Even after being rotated 90 degrees, embroidery data larger than 200 mm

(H) × 300 mm (W) (approx. 7-7/8 inches (H) × 11-3/4 inches (W)) cannot be used. (All designs must be within the 200mm(H) × 300mm(W) (approx. 7-7/8 inches (H) × 11-3/4 inches (W)) design field size.)

For more details, refer to page 156.

.pes files saved with the number of stitches or the number of colors exceeding the specified limits cannot be

displayed. The combined design can not exceed a maximum number of 500,000 stitches or a maximum

number of 125 color changes (Above numbers are approximate, depending on the overall size of the design). 5 Use one of our design software programs to edit the embroidery pattern so that it meets these specifications.

Do not create folders in “Removable disk” on a computer. If embroidery data is stored in a folder in “Removable disk,” that embroidery data cannot be retrieved by the machine.

Tajima (.dst) embroidery data

.dst data is displayed in the pattern list screen by their file names. (The actual image cannot be displayed.) Only the first eight characters of the file name can be displayed.

Since Tajima (.dst) data does not contain specific thread color information, it is displayed with our

default thread color sequence. Check the preview and change the thread colors as desired. For more details, refer to page 220.
