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.

Chapter 1 Initial Setup
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 |
