• BAS-300E data can be used when sewing with the KE-436C, but the data resolution will be limited to 0.1 mm per pulse.
• The above four types of data can all be read, but when writing to disk, all data is automatically converted to BAS-300E data
when writing to 2HD disks and BAS-300A data when writing to 2DD disks.
• When using a 2HD disk, use a disk which has been pre-formatted as a 1.44 MB disk. (The programmer can be used to
format these disks. Refer to the programmer instruction manual for details.)
• TFD embroidery data can be embroidered after it has been converted by the programmer to BAS-300E data.
• Restrictions when using 2DD floppy disks and KE-436C data
In order to maintain compatibility with the old BAS-300A data, the following restrictions have been placed on the use of the
new functions which have been added to the E series.
Restricted function A series (2DD) E, F series (2HD) KE-436B, 436C (2HD) Applicable command
