Protecting data in floppy disks
Write-protection is available for a floppy disk to prevent undesired data deletion.
A write-protected disk is read-only. It is recommended to provide write-protection for disks which
contain important data.
To do so, slide the write-protect notch to open the slot as shown below.
Slide the notch in this direction to
prevent data loss or overwriting.
Slide the notch in this direction to write data.
Setting a Floppy Disk to the Floppy Disk Drive
Insert a floppy disk straight into the slot. The label side of the dis k must face the front.
Press the eject switch to remove the disk out of the drive.
Do not press the eject switch during the access lamp is lit. This may lead to data corruption.

Multiple stitch
.
This section describes programming of a multiple stitch.
Refer to the example on the left.
Programming can be started from either inside or outside line. Embroidering is carried out in
the sequence of programming.
Embroidering direction depends on programming sequence.
When embroidering direction should be changed at a sharp angle, a split should be provided in the
vicinity of the direction change point for finishing the multiple stitch in relatively uniform
conditions.
Up to 200 points can be specified for one side. If you attempt to input 201 or more points, the
needle point is automatically retu rned to the previ ous poin ts. In that case, start inputting points
of the outside (or the inside) line, or reconsider point input positions or pattern.
