Observe the following precautions when using embroidery data other than that created and saved in this
machine.

■

Types of Embroidery Data that can be Used

• Only .pes,.pha,.phb,.phc, and .dst embroidery data files can be used with this machine. Using data other

than that saved using our data design systems or sewing machines may cause the embroidery machine to
malfunction.

■

Stitch data can be saved to or recalled from USB media. Use media that meets the following specifications.
• USB Flash drive (USB Flash memory)
• USB Floppy disk drive
Stitch data can be recalled only.

CAUTION

• When using embroidery data other than our original patterns, the thread or needle may break when

sewing with a stitch density that is too fine or when sewing three or more overlapping stitches. In that
case, use one of our original data design systems to edit the embroidery data.

Note

• The processing speed may vary by port selection and quantity of data stored.

• Some USB media may not be usable with this machine. Please visit our website for more details.

• The access lamp will begin blinking after inserting USB devices/media, and it will take about 5 to 6 sec-

onds to recognize the devices/media. (Time will differ depending on the USB device/media).
