Specifying jumpstitch trimming / "DST" jump codes for trimming You can specify whether or not jumpstitches are cut. In addition, when using Tajima embroidery data (.dst), you can specify whether or not the thread is cut according to the specified number of jump codes. ON: The machine cuts the upper and bobbin thread before the jumpstitch. When Tajima embroidery data (.dst) is used, the machine converts the "jump" code to a trim code, based on the number specified on the next line. OFF: The machine does not cut either a jumpstitch or the "jump" code in Tajima embroidery data (.dst). When the machine is purchased, "ON" is selected and the number of jumps is set to "3". The "DST" thread trim settings can be specified from page 2 of the settings screen. Note • If the setting is changed from the previous setting, the new setting is only applied to the next embroidery. Touch or a setting. to select the desired Note • This setting is not applied to the trimming of threads between characters in alphabet patterns. (Refer to "Trimming the threads between characters" on page 155.) ■ When using Tajima embroidery data (.dst) If "ON" is selected, touch and to b select the number of feed codes. The desired setting is displayed. • A value between 1 and 8 can be specified. For example, if 3 is specified, sequential 3 jump codes will be converted to the trim code. But sequential 2 jump codes will not be converted to the trim code, it will be sewed as the feed (jump) stitch. Note • You need to set the jump number same as the number that was used when the particular Tajima data was created. If the jump number is not matched, either unexpected trim or no trimming at trim expected point will happen. Deleting short stitches If embroidery data other than our original patterns are used, the stitch length may be too short, possibly resulting in the thread or the needle breaking. In order to prevent this problem from occurring, the machine can be set to delete stitches with a short stitch length. Stitches with a length less than that specified in this function, can be deleted. When the embroidery machine is purchased, "0.3" was selected (delete stitches with a length of 0.3 mm or less). Memo • The number of jump codes cannot be specified for data other than Tajima embroidery data (.dst). 184
