If you embroider patterns dense in stitches like
wappen to the brim of border frame, front part
of border frame is pulled inside by shrinkage of
fabric and there is a chance that front part of
border frame bends as shown in Fig.1. Fig. 1
If front part of border frame bends, it causes off

Generally, Backing is used for hooped embroidery fabric. Knit fabrics particularly require the use

REGISTER 17-1
Register will restore the position of the frame to the last point before a power failure even if the
point of origin or the pattern itself were changed.
Selected frame
If register is used with a cap drive frame, make sure that the machine recognizes it by
showing "Cap" (Cap frame) or "OnePoint" (One Point frame) the appropriate frame or the
machine could be damaged.
If register is used with indication of frames that do not require cap drive frame, carriage
moves and exceeds embroidery area of cap drive frame and damages the machine and cap
drive frame.
When you use "REGISTER", keep clear of the frame and table. It is dangerous as the frame
could make sudden movements.
Never use register with the needle bar and presser foot lowered, as they could hit the cap
drive frame and break.
It is not always necessary to set "Entry", but you can't set "Return". Once "Entry" is set, it is
retained even if power is turned off.
If you change the position of the original point, set it again.
Even if you set "Entry", the frame may not return exactly to the original position in process of
time.
Reset this monthly.

This sets up a succession of patterns that can be embroidered in any desired sequence.
The machine will proceed with the *various settings set to each pattern.
If you embroider a pattern like in Fig.1, you will need to set an offset as a pivot to each
pattern in advance. If the offset is set to the first pattern like in Fig. 2, you will need to set a
setoff point to the first pattern with the offset of the other pattern as a pivot. 12-8
If automatic original point return is set, the machine will return to the original point when
finished. If automatic original point return is not set, the embroider will finish at the end point
of the last pattern.

FRAME CONFIRMATION 20-1
By default the machine checks if the pattern fits the embroidery area.
This helps you to check whether or not the selected pattern fits in the desired hoop.
This helps confirm positioningbetween the embroidery area and the pattern.
If you change the frame position by the frame move key, the display will be changed and you
can check the position onscreen.
The "monitor display" checks whether or not the pattern fits the embroidery area of the
frame you are going to use before starting the operation.
This is not a safety device that will prevent crashes if pattern size is too large for the frame;
it is intended for your reference only when judging the fit of a pattern to a given size frame.
After using "monitor display", do not move the frame. If you do so the machine may be
damaged due to the needle or pressure foot hitting the frame.
Make sure to perform "Registration number selection" when changing hoop size. If not
done, the machine may be damaged from the needle or pressure foot hitting the frame.

Note: HAPPY link LAN is a software designed to be used at LAN (Local Area Network) con-
nection between the software installed PC (server) and the software-enabled embroidery
machine(s).
If this network is connected with other network, you might not be able to communicate due to
the overlapping of IP address and other code.
If PC or machine that is connected with other network has to be inevitably connected with
Happy link LAN, you might change network settings as specified in this manual.
In this case, the settings are required by your network administrator or person(s) of network
knowledge.
