SELECTING/EDITING/SAVING PATTERNS1495■ Precautions on using the computer to create and save data• If the name of the embroidery data file/folder cannot be identified, for example, because the name contains specialcharacters, the file/folder is not displayed. If this occurs, change the name of the file/folder. We recommend using the 26letters of the alphabet (uppercase and lowercase), the numbers 0 through 9,”-”, and “_”.• Embroidery data larger than 200 mm (H) × 360 mm (W) (approx. 7-7/8 inches (H) × 14 inches (W)) cannot be used. (Allpatterns must be within the 200 mm (H) × 360 mm (W) (approx. 7-7/8 inches (H) × 14 inches (W)) pattern field size.)• .pes files saved with the number of stitches or the number of colors exceeding the specified limits cannot be displayed.The combined pattern can not exceed a maximum number of 500,000 stitches or a maximum number of 127 colorchanges (Above numbers are approximate, depending on the overall size of the pattern). Use one of our pattern softwareprograms to edit the embroidery pattern so that it meets these specifications.• Embroidery data stored in a folder created in USB media can be retrieved.• Do not create folders in “Removable Disk” on a computer. If embroidery data is stored in a folder in “Removable Disk”,that embroidery data cannot be retrieved by the machine.■ Tajima (.dst) embroidery data• Since Tajima (.dst) data does not contain specific thread color information, it is displayed with our default thread colorsequence.
