Using the Memory Function 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, .phc, and .dst embroidery data files can be used with this machine. Using data other than that saved using our data design systems or machines may cause the embroidery machine to malfunction. ■ Types of USB media that can be used Stitch data can be saved to or recalled from a USB flash drive of any size. Note • The processing speed may vary by quantity of data stored. • Only a USB flash drive can be connected to the USB port on this machine. • The access lamp will begin blinking after inserting USB flash drive, and it will take about 5 to 6 seconds to recognize the drive. (Time will differ depending on the USB flash drive). • For additional information, refer to the instruction manual included with the USB flash drive that you have purchased. Memo • To create file folders, use a computer. ■ Precautions on using the computer to create and save data • If the name of the embroidery data file/folder cannot be identified, for example, because the name contains special characters, 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,"-", and "_". • If embroidery data larger than 26 cm × 16 cm (approx. 10-1/4 inches × 6-1/4 inches) is selected, the pattern will be displayed rotated by 90 degrees when it is read out. Even after being rotated 90 degrees, embroidery data larger than 26 cm 16 cm (approx. 10-1/4 inches 6-1/4 inches) cannot be used. (All designs must be within the 26 cm 16 cm (approx. 10-1/4 inches 6-1/4 inches) design field size.) • .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 200,000 stitches or a maximum number of 125 color changes (Above numbers are approximate, depending on the overall size of the design). Use one of our design software programs to edit the embroidery pattern so that it meets these specifications. • Embroidery data stored in a folder created in USB flash drive can be retrieved. • Even if the embroidery unit is not attached, the machine will recognize embroidery data. ■ Tajima (.dst) embroidery data • .dst data is displayed in the pattern list screen by file name (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. E-32
