■ Precautions on Using the Computer to Create and Save Data
• If the file name of embroidery data cannot be identified, for example, because the name contains special
characters, the file is not displayed. If this occurs, change the name of the file. We recommend using the 26
letters of the alphabet (uppercase and lowercase), the numbers 0 through 9, “-”, and “_”.
• If .pes embroidery data larger than 26 cm (H) × 16 cm (W) (approx.10-1/4 inches (H) × 6-1/4 inches (W)) is
selected, a message appears asking if you wish to rotate the pattern 90 degrees.
Embroidery data larger than 26 cm (H) × 16 cm (W) (approx.10-1/4 inches (H) × 6-1/4 inches (W)), even after
being rotated 90 degrees, cannot be used (All designs must be within the 26 cm (H) × 16 cm (W) (approx.10-
1/4 inches (H) × 6-1/4 inches (W)) design field size.)
• .pes files saved with the number of stitches, the number of colors and the number of combined patterns
exceeding the specified limits cannot be displayed. Use one of our original data design systems to edit the
embroidery pattern so that it meets the specifications.
• Embroidery data stored in a folder created in USB media can be retrieved.
• Do not create folders in “Removable Disk” on a computer. If embroidery data is stored in a folder in
“Removable Disk”, that embroidery data cannot be retrieved by the machine.
• Even if the embroidery unit is not attached, the machine will manage embroidery data.
■ Tajima (.dst) Embroidery Data
• .dst data is displayed in the pattern list screen by file name (the actual image cannot be displayed). Only the
first eight characters of the file name can be displayed.
• Since Tajima (.dst) data does not contain specific thread color information, it is displayed with our default
thread color sequence. Check the preview and change the thread colors as desired.
