Chapter 1 Initial Setup
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 disk 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.

Notes for programming
Pattern sheet
Use thin plotting paper or prepare copies of pattern sheet.
The pattern sheet is designed in the original scale.
Stitch length
Setting range between 0.3 and 6.0 mm is available.
As for the needle tacking data, values 0.1 to 1.0 mm are available.
Stitch count
Maximum available count is 1,000.
Selectable program numbers
Selectable program numbers vary depending on the clamps used when writing data.
Chapter 1 Initial Setup
When using a retractable clamp 00 ~ 31
When using other clamps 32 ~ 63
Attributes of data when reading the data of BAS760
Attributes of data are as follows when reading the data of BAS760.
Needle tacking Reflected
Two step tension Reflected
Two row switch Reflected(*)
Slow conversion Ignored
(*) Two step switch data is reflected in the normal position when reading the data complying with the
specifications for BAS760 retractable clamp.
As for other clamps, slow conversion instructions to 2500 rpm or 3000 rpm are reflected as the two
row switch data. Turn the setting of two row switch to off.
