those saved using our data design systems or sewing machines may cause the embroidery machine to
malfunction.

specifications.

USB Floppy disk drive

Note
● Some USB media may not be usable with this machine. Please visit our website for more details.
● USB hubs cannot be used through USB Type “A” (host) connector. The machine will not recognize the
above USB devices or USB memory cards through a USB hub.
● The access lamp will begin blinking after inserting USB Devices/Media, and it will take about 5 to 6
seconds to recognize the Devices/Media. (Time will differ depending on the USB Device/Media).
● Only insert or remove USB media while
appears in the display, or when prompted to change
media by a message on the display (see page 117).
● For additional information, refer to the instruction manual included with the USB media that you have
purchased.
Memo
● When a file folder is necessary to create, use a computer.
● Letters and numerals can be used in the file names. In addition, if the file name contains no more than
eight characters, the entire file name will appear on the screen.
If the file name is more than eight characters long, only the first six characters followed by “~” and a
number appear as the file name.
● While 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.
