Chapter 1 Initial Setup

Handling of floppy disk

Do not force open the shutter for direct contact with the magnetic area.

Do not bring disks near magnetic matters such as magnetic screwdriver or the back side of the programmer.

Do not store floppy disks in an extremely high or low ambient temperature.

Do not use floppy disks under high humidity.

Do not use or store floppy disks in a dusty place.

Do not store floppy disks under direct sunlight.

Do not bend the disk. Do not put things on the disk.

Avoid contact with solvent or drink.

Do not remove the disk out of the drive during the access lamp is lit.

Programmer

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.

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.
