Transferring to a machine by using an original card
Designs can be transferred to an embroidery machine equipped with a card slot.
- Be sure that the hoop size of the design does not exceed the hoop that will be used on the embroidering machine.
- When writing to an original card that already contains data, all data on the card will be deleted. Before writing to a card, save all necessary data to a hard disk or other media, and check that no necessary data remains on the card.
- An embroidery design for the jumbo frame cannot be transferred to the machine by using an original card. This size is designed specifically for our multi-needle embroidery machines equipped with a built-in camera.
For details on writing multiple embroidery designs, refer to Transferring Embroidery Designs to Machines.
- Plug the USB card writer module. Insert an original card into the USB card writer module.
- Click the [Home] tab.
- Click [Send] in the [Sew] group, and then click [Write to Card].
- When the following message appears, click [OK].
Data transfer begins. The following message appears while the data is being transferred.
- After the data has been transferred, the following message appears, indicating that the transfer is finished. Click [OK].
Transferring split embroidery designs
Embroidery patterns for the split patterns created on the custom-sized Design Page are written to cards split into their separate sections.
If the total size of the pattern exceeds the capacity of the media or the machine's memory or if the pattern is split into over 80 sections with a Design Page size of 90 × 90 cm (35.4" × 35.4"), you will need to split the pattern and write the separate sections onto several media.
If all pattern sections cannot be saved with a single operation, the [Select Hoop Sections] dialog box appears. Select pattern sections until the media becomes full.
The card capacity indicator at the top of the dialog box shows the amount of space available on the card (white) and the amount of space used by the pattern sections (blue).
When a pattern section is selected, the total amount of space used by the selected pattern sections appears in blue. If the capacity is exceeded, the entire card capacity indicator appears in red. To deselect a pattern section, click it again.
Click [Write] to write the selected pattern sections to the media. (The [Write] button is available only when a pattern section is selected and there is sufficient space on the media for the selected pattern sections.)
