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 and .dst embroidery data files can be used with this machine. Using data other than that saved using our data design systems or sewing machines may cause the embroidery machine to malfunction.
■Where to Purchase Embroidery Designs
•There are many venues available for purchasing additional designs for your embroidery machine. The local authorized Brother dealer will have a wide range of Brother embroidery cards, as well as CDs with a variety of themes. In addition, there are many online sites where designs can be purchased and downloaded directly to your computer. When purchasing designs be sure to check the file format and hoop size of each design to make sure it is compatible with your machine model.
■Computers and Operating Systems with the Following Specifications can be Used
•Compatible models:
IBM PC with a USB port as standard equipment
IBM PC-compatible computer equipped with a USB port as standard equipment
•Compatible operating systems: Microsoft Windows Me/2000/XP/Vista
(Windows 98SE requires a driver. Download the driver from our web site (http://solutions.brother.com).)
■Precautions on Using the Computer to Create and Save Data
•If the file name of embroidery data cannot be identified, for example, because the name contains special characters, the file is not displayed. If this occurs, change the name of the file. We recommend using the 26 letters of the alphabet (uppercase and lowercase), the numbers 0 through 9, “-”, and “_”.
•.pes files saved with the number of stitches, the number of colors and the number of combined patterns exceeding the specified limits cannot be displayed. Use one of our original data design systems to edit the embroidery pattern so that it meets the specifications.
•Do not create folders in “Removable Disk” on a computer. If embroidery data is saved in a folder in “Removable Disk”, that embroidery data cannot be retrieved by the machine.
•Even if the embroidery unit is not attached, the machine will manage 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.
■Trademarks
•IBM is a registered trademark or a trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
•Microsoft and Windows are registered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
Each company whose software title is mentioned in this manual has a Software License Agreement specific to its proprietary programs.
