1. Place the carriage on the table rails, ensuring that
the Carriage Encoder Assembly will be toward the
back of the machine (the power cord side of the ma-
chine). The back side of the carriage has an encoder
assembly attached to the rear cross-piece. Be sure to
place the carriage on the frame correctly (see
Figure 4).
2. Place the machine on the carriage.
3. Plug the Ribbon cable into the Carriage Encoder
Assembly. The connector is keyed to assure cor-
rect alignment. Make sure the keyed portion of the
cable connector aligns with the keyed portion of the
encoder connector. Do not force.
4. The remaining length of cable comes back under
the Power Pod from the Rear Encoder Assembly,
behind the machine, and into the 9 pin serial port of
the machine (see Figure 5).
5. REMEMBER that if the machine is to be removed
from the carriage, the cable must be disconnected
from the Carriage Encoder Assembly. The other
two connectors on the cable should remain in place.
Failure to unplug the cable when removing the
machine from the carriage could result in damage to
the cable, encoders, and carriage.
Installation (Studio Frame)

1. Follow the instructions as directed for the Studio
Frame, with the exception of the carriage encoder
orientation. On the Portable Professional Frame, the
carriage encoder is placed at the front of the frame
(closest to the needle of the machine).
2. The ribbon cable routes from the machine encoder
under the arm of the machine and plugs into the car-
riage encoder at the front of the carriage.
