3.1.4 System

The function of entering the lock key is supported.

The embroidery machine operating program has the lock function. When the lock function is set, the operating program can be used without problem for the set period of time. But when the set time frame passes, the lapse will occur when opening the operating program. This intentionally causes inconvenience when the program is used after the set time frame.

If the lock function is enabled, the logo will be displayed as in <Fig. 3.1.4-1>, not as <Fig. 3.0-1>. In case of <Fig.

3.1.4-1>, the operating program can be used without problem for 10 days, and the logo screen will stay for only 2 seconds. However, after 10 days, as in <Fig. 3.1.4-2>, lapse will occur before running the operating program. Time lapse will also occur when conducting the second batch of embroidery after finishing the first batch of embroidery work. Likewise after the set time frame, inconvenience occurs when using the operating program.

To resolve the inconvenience, it is required to receive new lock key from the sales agent and enter it to the system. Otherwise, the time lapse will get lengthened further over the passage of time.

[Fig. 3.1.4-1] [Fig. 3.1.4-2]
