Chapter 2 Programming with Help Function Describes the procedure to create programs using icons. It is recommended for persons who are used to icon input.
Page 14: Notes For Programming
Chapter 1 Initial Setup Notes for programming Pattern sheet Use thin plotting paper or prepare copies of pattern sheet. The pattern sheet is designed in the original scale. Stitch length Setting range between 0.3 and 6.0 mm is available. As for the needle tacking data, values 0.1 to 1.0 mm are available. Stitch count Maximum available count is 1,000.
