TECHNICAL TERMS:

■ DST

This is the extension of Tajima data file (*.dst)

that is one of the data formats of embroidery

patterns. Tajima data does not contain color

information, therefore the embroidery machine

automatically assigns colors when a Tajima

(.dst) file is loaded. (Refer to page 246.)

■ Needle number

The needles are numbered from right to left. The

far right needle is number 1 needle. (Refer to

page 8.)

■ Needle at the "embroidering position"

This is the needle that is placed above the

needle hole in the needle plate. The needle bar

case is moved to position that particular needle

with the next thread color to the "embroidering

position".

Also when using the needle threader, the needle

that is going to be threaded should be moved to

the "position of embroidery". (Refer to page 62

and page 63.)

1 Needle

2 Needle hole in the needle plate

■ Wiper

This is the mechanism for pulling the thread.

The wiper pulls the thread when the needle

threader is used.

The wiper also pulls the thread from the material

when the machine trims the thread. This makes

trimming threads after embroidering un-

necessary. (Refer to page 61.)

PATTERNS:

Following patterns can be processed by the

machine to embroider.

- Embroidery data with *.pes, *.phc or *.dst

format.

Use USB media to transfer the data to the

machine.

Using the USB cable, the data can be transferred

from the PC to the machine.

- Optional embroidery cards

- Embroidery patterns created by digitizing

software program

- The patterns saved on USB media by the

machine

EMBROIDERING:

■ Customize the embroidery colors

- Use the thread color function by selecting

either 64 colors or 300 colors, or by setting

the custom thread color table on the pattern

editing screen. For more details, see

page 200 and page 202.

- Use the "Temporary needle bar setting"

function by selecting the key on the

"embroidering" screen. More details please

see the page 142.

■ Resume an unfinished pattern from the last

time the machine was switched off.

- The machine remembers the pattern and the

position even after turning off the power. And

the machine can resume the embroidery

when the machine turns on again. (Refer to

"Resume Embroidering After Turning Off the

Machine" on page 120.)
