Machine Operation
Turn on the power and select the desired language (if other than English) and wait until the touch
screen displays the Ready – New Order screen.
Initial Border Loading Procedure
 Press the Open Rollers button, the Prefeed Roller and the Main Roller lift up.
 Open the Material Guides wider than the expected border width to be loaded.
 Load a roll of border material on the Border Roll Holder. If the leading edge of the border is not
of good quality, or it is not square, cut off the bad part and square off the leading edge. This will
make the border loading process much easier.
 Feed the border between the 2" roller and the 3/4" rod, across the prefeed table, and between the
prefeed drive rollers. Then over the upper rollers, through the guillotine and stop with the end of
the border protruding slightly beyond the knife blades. Adjust the guides to fit the border size
using the adhesive rulers provided. Hold the border in place and press the Close Rollers button.
Be sure not to cover the Border Prefeed Slack Eye.
Note: If you get a message “Border Slack Warning” on the screen, walk over to prefeed part of the
machine and press the Raise Roller push button mounted on the cover of the prefeed roller, pull the
slack out, and press the button again to lower the prefeed roller. If the message “Border Slack Warning”
comes up again with no slack present, most likely the slack eye is not adjusted properly to see the
reflective tape on the side panel of the machine, or the eye is not working properly and needs to be
checked.
Bobbin Handling Method
The 3200PB machine comes with two bobbin cases to allow the operator to optimize
his/her performance. One full bobbin should always be in a case ready to be loaded. Therefore; when the
machine pauses its automatic operation and posts a message on the screen that it is time to change the
bobbin, the operator must pull the nearly empty bobbin and replace it with the new bobbin already in the
case. Then press the New Bobbin button to resume the automatic operation. Once the machine resumes
its automatic operation, the operator can prepare the next bobbin and load it in the empty case.
This bobbin changing method results in optimum performance and minimal machine downtime.
Always change the bobbin when the machine displays the “Bobbin Warning” message. If there is
consistently too much thread left on the old bobbin, or the bobbin runs out of thread at times, change the
bobbin counter to optimize bobbin usage. To adjust the bobbin counter/monitor go to the main screen,
press the Setup button, and press the Bobbin Monitor button and adjust the Time Per Bobbin count using
+ or – buttons.
