The USB port is used for the following cases. • When connecting the USB memory • When connecting the bar code reader (commercial item) (2) USB memory Please prepare a commercial item. • When registering a design, stored in the USB memory, in the memory of the machine • When saving the design, stored in the memory of the machine, in the USB memory • When installing the software in the machine Some type and/or capacity of the USB memory may not be used for this machine. In this case, please buy USB memory recommended by Tajima. For details, please consult the distributor. Regarding use of the USB memory, observe the items to notice described below. Do not turn ON the machine power in the state that the USB memory is connected to the operation panel except when installing the software in the machine. The system somtimes may not start up. Do not pull out/in the USB memory in operation (when the main shaft motor and frame are moving, or in the middle of color change etc.). Inside card could be damaged. USB port USB memory ! CAUTION
