54 Design Transfer and Compatibility Design Transfer to the bernette 340 Deco The bernette 340 Deco can read all BERNINA design cards. To run non licensed designs from BERNINA CD you require BERNINA Embroidery Software or OESD Explorations Software which can be used to convert the .ART files and write them onto an ATA Personal Design Card or USB Stick. Please note, that licensed designs on CD cannot be transferred to the Deco 340. Most other brand cards and designs on the market can be used by converting these files or cards through optionally available PC software and accessories. This includes Bernette / BERNINA deco 500/600/650 cards, for which you may use the Magic BoxTM or the Swap Box from OESD. Please refer to the respective manuals for details of the transfer procedure and note, that the Deco 340 in this case will behave like an artista 165 - 185. To write modified designs back from the Deco 340 a USB Stick or an ATA Personal Design Card (= artista 200 Personal Design Card) can be used. Technical Notes: On USB Sticks as well as ATA Personal Design Cards files for the Deco 340 must be stored in a folder named «..:\EmbF5». This folder is automatically generated when a file is saved on the Deco and / or through Bernina Embroidery Software («Card/Machine Write»). Further this folder is automatically generated when the USB Stick or Personal Design Card is formatted on the Deco 340. The USB Stick also allows the use of one level of subdirectories in the :\EmbF5 folder. Important Note about Design Copyrights: All designs have a copyright.
