this function can set a patch code after the color code or stop code, and when the machine embroiders the patch code, it will halt and move frame out for patching. after stick a patch, user would pull the operation bar to let the frame move back and continue embroidering.
break adjusting
for various machines, this function can make the machines stop correctly, which means that the main shaft stops at 100 degree.
starting point saving
this function can save and store the start embroidering point of each design, instead of repeating moving frame manually to find the design origin when selecting the same design.
mechanical maintaining and debugging
this function is to easily judge the malfunctions when maintaining and testing, which consists of computer testing, encoder testing, main shaft speed testing, machine parts testing and the main shaft stopping at any position, etc.
multi-language support
currently, the system supports language shift among chinese, english, spanish and turkish and so on.
design output
design can be output and saved into floppy disk or usb disk. adoption of tajima�s binary system enjoys the advantage of data transmitting through the world wide web (other formats may not be transmitted directly).
repetition embroidery
the machine can increase embroidery productivity by repetition embroidery, which can also be used with cyclic embroidery.
cyclic embroidery
the machine also can increase embroidery productivity by using cyclic embroidery function, by which the machine automatically returns to the origin point and starts the same embroidery design again when finishing the design one time.
design compiling
�1 � compiling the data of selected design to generate new design
users can compile any design according to zoom ratio, rotate angle, normal repetition or partial repetition to generate a new design and save it in the memory card. the newly generated design can be used for embroidering, output or other operations.
�2 � compiling the combined design
system can compile the pre-set combined design to generate a new one and save it to the memory card. the newly generated design can be used for embroidering, output or other operations.
letter design
there are altogether 28 letter-bases. users can make groups and change the letter order according to different tasks. this operation is simple and easy managing.
design editing
by using this function, users may insert, modify or delete certain stitch at the selected point. new designs can be created by this function too.
speed adjusting

thread break detect and mending switch
based on working different principles, thread break detect have three methods: thread take-up spring type, thread winding wheel (chopper wheel) type and mixed type.
for thread take-up spring type, it warns thread break by detecting connection of take-up spring and contact point. when thread breaks, the spring will close to the contact point. in normal condition, this detecting type reacts sensitive to face thread breakage, but can hardly detect bobbin thread run-out. in case you change the embroidery thread, or thread tension changes, you need to adjust spring pressure between the take-up spring and contact point. when the spring pressure is too large, there will be false positive; when the spring pressure is too small, there will be false negative.
for thread winding wheel type, it judges thread break by detecting the winding wheel angle. it reacts very sensitive in case of face thread breakage; in most cases of bobbin thread run-out, the consumption of face thread will reduce, as a result, system will judge by statistic method and send out warning. though it can almost avoid false positive, it is not as sensitive as the spring-type.
for the mixed type method, the two can complement each other with their advantages, which results in sensitive and stabilized detecting effect.
no matter which method you use, there is one switch and one status light on each machine head. there are three positions to switch but only two positions can be locked. when you switch to the down side, status light does not shine, which means the head stops. when you switch to the middle, status light is green, which means the head is now in normal embroidering. in case of thread break, machine stops and status light on that particular head turns out red. system automatically changes to mending mode on that head. if you want to set a single head to mending mode manually, you can switch to the upper side, which can not be locked. when you loose the switch, it returns to the middle. at meantime, status light on this head will turn out red to indicate that mending mode available on this head.

setting common parameters
normal parameters include: x-y scales , rotate , direction , prior mode , rep. mode , rep. prior , x-y reps� and �x-y interval�. users can control the final embroidery results by adjusting these parameters.
touch in the main screen for setting parameters:
the way to set each parameter is similar. this chapter will explain how to set the �x-yscales� as an example and give the definitions of other parameters (read 4.1.1 as reference).
setting x-y scales
this parameter controls the scaling percentages on x (horizontal) and y (vertical) direction, so as to scale up/down the design.

press the option x-y scales
after users press the option x-y scales, a parameter modifying window appears in the right side of the screen.
adjusting x scales
press the number panel in the parameter-setting window to change the scaling ratios on x direction. press to cancel the last input digit and press to erase all entered digits. (note: for setting some parameters you need press to select.)
click confirm key to save changed parameter
only if you pressafter modification does the system save the value.
it�s similar to set y scale.
setting of rotate
users can rotate the design to a certain angle by changing this parameter.

prior mode
there are two modes: rotating prior to scaling and scaling prior to rotating. when the user has set the parameters �x-y scales� and �rotate�, the design will rotate first and then scale up/down with the setting rotating prior to scaling. otherwise it will scale up/down first and then rotate.
rep. mode
currently, it is not available.
rep. prior
there are x prior and y prior for users to choose.
embed coreldraw.graphic.9
x-y reps
x reps of this parameter sets the number of rows in repetition, and y reps of it sets the number of columns in repetition. the above diagram shows that x reps is 3 and y reps is 2. the largest set value is 99*99.
x-y interval
the above diagram also explains the meaning of this parameter.

setting general parameters
based on function, embroidery parameters are divided into groups�see appendix 1 for details �.
the general parameters of the machine with password-protected function include three groups: parameters titled number 1 are changeable parameters, which can be different according to design or embroidery mode; parameters titled number 2 are admin parameters on which admin password can be set; those titled number 3 are parameters preset by machine manufacturers and in most situations the default settings don�t need to be changed (factory password can be set on these parameters). setting factory/admin passwords and parameter initialization are under �other function�. (please read chapter 9).
click in the main screen.
system enters the parameter setting screen, where users can set the parameters.

ii. when a parameter in the machine with password-protected function is set with a password, it can�t be changed. there will be an icon in the parameter-changing window to show this situation.
setting procedure for general parameters
the setting procedure is similar for each general parameter. you can follow the guide of this section to set parameters.
select the parameter group.
the user can use the keys on the bottom of the screen to look for the parameter. and ensure no password or it has been input. (see chapter 10).
if you want to change the value of �needles� which is d01 in machine parameters 1, find machine parameters 1 and click. then all of its parameters will be shown in the parameter list window.

note: some parameters in the setting screen can�t be entered. you can only select �yes�,�no� or press to select.
introduction of some functions of general parameters
there are brief introductions of the parameters in the appendix 1. here are some functions used in embroidery.
cyclic embroidery function
this function is to increase the embroidery productivity.
when the parameter�to do cyclic emb.�is set as �yes�, the cyclic embroidery function is enabled and the icon will appear in the main screen. when this function is enabled, after completing the designated design the machine will automatically embroider it again without pulling the bar.
usually cyclic embroidery accompanies repetition embroidery and special punched designs and the parameter �auto origin� should be also set as �yes�. thus when the machine is embroidering the back embroidery cloth-piece, the front one can be replaced. after embroidering the designated design, the frame will automatically return to the start point and the machine will automatically embroider the front cloth-piece again and at this time it� possible to replace the back one.
store manual color-changing
in embroidery confirmation status, the user can choose whether to store the manual color-changing�s needle position into the color-changing order unit. its purposes are as follows: 1) if mistakes are found for the automatic color-changing order in embroidering, the color-changing order can be modified with manual color-change. 2) when a new design is embroidered with manual color-change once, the color-change order is set for the design.
to use this function, the user should set the parameter �store manual color� as �yes�. note: the parameter value will automatically change into �no� at the end of one design embroidering.
brake adjustment (a must for new machine)
this function is to adjust the control parameters for braking, so as to fit machines of different mechanical characteristics, which also change with the machine running. thus this function can help the machinery parts to work better with the computer. the function depends on the two parameters �set brake para� and �main motor para.�.
�set brake para� is to adjust the stop position of the main shaft. when the main shaft often stops at less than 100 degree, the user can increase the parameter value. when the main shaft often stops at more than 100 degree, the user can decrease the parameter value. thus the user can adjust the value to let the main shaft stop close to 100 degree. the value can be set between 0 and 30.
�main motor para.� is to adjust cooperation between main shaft motor and machinery parts. the parameter value can be set between 0 and 30, and set as 0 in most situations. when during breaking the main shaft vibrate without moving or rotate in the reverse direction, the user can increase the parameter value.
after adjusting these parameters, the user can click the task swift key on the panel to return to the main screen. click and, to check the effects of the parameter adjustment. if the user is not satisfied with the effects, he can press the swift key on the panel to return to the parameter setting screen, where he can adjust the parameter setting again. close the parameter setting screen in the end.
forbidding design output
the function is to forbid copying the designs in memory (into the disk). if the machine administrator set �no output design� as �yes�, other persons are unable to output the designs to the disk. if the user needs to output, he has to cancel �no output design� first.

d type sequin embroidery
brief introduction on sequin embroidery
sequin embroidery is composed of sequins and threads. we choose those hard materials with smooth surfaces as the sequins. embroidery works will be shining with these sequins attached. design with sequin codes has its own way of designing.
d type multi-sequin embroidery is divided into two groups: one is normal multi-sequin design, made by normal design making method. the other one is special multi-sequin design made by normal design software with special making method attached.
for normal one, you should set sequin mode when you modify the color-changing order. special multi-sequin design can be directly embroidered after modification of color-changing order.
meanwhile, the machine can automatically change normal design to special design during the process of design import. the special design saves all the sequin of normal design as sequin a. if you want further modification, you can use �sequin edit� to modify.
note: see appendix 4 for detailed design making rules.
scope
this system applies to sequin embroidering control system which combines normal embroidering mechanism and sequin sending mechanism.
features and functions
two sending sequin modes: wheel and lever;
wheel: the core part is a wheel-like device in the whole mechanism. its operating principle is to wheel continuous towards one direction to send sequins into position.
lever: the core part is staff linkage. its operating principle is to move back-and-forth to send the sequins into position.
sequin mending and sequin sending mechanism are two independent actions;
delivering a sequin by operating either manual separated head or collective;
display working status separated head;
type of sequin sending and angle can be changed by operating on the control panel.
specifications
sequin diameter range: 3mm,4mm,5mm,6.75mm and 9mm;
the maximum speed for sequin embroidery is 850 rpm.

parameter setting about multi-sequin embroidery
in this chapter, we will introduce how to adjust sequin device and parameter adjusting in multi-sequin embroidery.
select in the main screen to enter parameter management screen, then select parameter setting.
10speed for sequin r(l):
the parameter is to set the max speed during normal embroidering.
note: the maximum speed of flat embroidery should be higher or equal to speed for sequin embroidery.
20auto start for sequin:
when the setting is yes , system will start embroidering sequin automatically.
when the setting is no , machine needs manually start.
30time of sequin action:
this is to set the time period from sequin device goes down to embroidering (0-15, the default value is 2). if the sequin device is controlled by valve, use the default value; if it is controlled by motor, choose 4-5.
40sequin off after t.b.
when the setting is yes , sequin presser foot will be lift up automatically in case of thread break.
when the setting is no , the sequin device needs manually lifting the presser foot.
50sequin ind. up down
when the setting is yes , it is independent lift up. when the setting is no , it is collective lift up.
6. up value when jump&nocut
70motor number of r (l) sequin
the parameter setting should be based on actual device number, if there is no sequin device, set to 0.
80set 3/4/5/6.75/9mm of r(l) sequin
this is to set sequin delivery angle. if it is wheel, it should be set to single way; if it is lever, it should be set to double way. the parameter is closely related to left/right sequin device a/b/c/d size and color . for example, a size&color of r sequin is set to 4mm x color , and then the angle value should be set 4mm of r sequin .
90a/b/c/d size&color of r/l sequin
setting of this parameter depends on the mechanical structure. the order from a to d is from front to back.
note: �motor number of r (l) sequin� is closely related to �a/b/c/d size&color of r/l sequin�. for example, if �motor number of r (l) sequin� is set to 2, then it only displays �a/b size&color of r/l sequin�.
100sequin gap num of r(l) sequin
this is to set gap number. if there is no gap, then it should be set to 0.
110valve time of right sequin
change color order and set sequin mode
user must set sequin mode before setting color-changing toward normal multi-sequin design, but expert multi-sequin design don�t need set multi-sequin sequin mode.
detailed operations are:
click in the main screen to enter color-changing order screen.
click digital key to set color-changing position. if the first/last needle position is for multi-sequin embroidery, after one click, system will ask for setting the sequin delivery mode; if it is single sequin, or special multi-sequin design, then it�s no need to set sequin delivery mode. for example, the last needle is needle 6, click �6�, then you can see:
setting sequin delivery mode:
press digital key confirm embroidery needle position, it will show �input sequin mode� when there is sequin device;
use or to modify the delivery mode and press to confirm. a stands for front motor delivery; b stands for middle motor delivery and c stands for rear motor delivery. ac stands for front/rear motor overlap sequin, ab stands for front/middle motor overlap sequin, bc stands for middle/rear motor overlap sequin and abc stands for front/middle/rear motor overlap sequin;
note: if there are only two motors, then b stands for rear motor.
after pressing, you should type in desired sequin delivering number. if it requires same mode before color-changing, then type in �1� and press.
useor till you see �end� in �input sequin mode�, then press to confirm. you clickto keep the sequin mode as before editing.
for example: a machine with needle 9 as its end needle (sequins 3, 5, 7mm); first needle is single sequin (9mm). the requirement is 7mm at first, then 3 & 5mm overlap, then 5 and 7mm alternate embroidery, then sew 9ps of 3mm, 8ps of 5mm, 4ps of 7mm, 6ps of 3 & 7 overlap sequins, at last, use first needle to embroider 9mm sequins.

directions on coiling, taping and zigzag embroidery
function introductions
10 coiling function: this is a method to wind coiling thread(s) at an equal interval around a core thread in a form of coil. left coiling (clockwise) and right coiling (counterclockwise) are both available in coiling function, which could be opted in computer parameters.
20taping function: tape can be used as embroidery material. it includes taping 1and taping 2 (blind embroidery)
30 zigzag function: zigzag sewing lever swings to the right or left per stitch in regard to the direction of original stitches. the upper thread forms zigzag on the embroidered material. there are six special stitches: z1, z2, z3, z4, z5 and z6. their stitches are as follows:
z1 z2 z3 z4 z5 z6
for convenience, coiling, taping and zigzag-sewing are all called special embroidery in the following.
40 standard embroidery head and special embroidery head can be switched automatically or manually.
50 coiling, taping and zigzag functions can be switched at will.
60 the nipple of special embroidery can be raised and lowered automatically or manually. (only for the machines installed with relevant apparatus)
70 the highest speeds of standard embroidery head and special embroidery head can be set up respectively.
80 auto saving of the stop-embroidery point of the m axis�the embroidery work can continue from the stop-embroidery point when the power recovers.
90 the trimming function of the special embroidery head (no trimming\trimming of the bottom thread\trimming of both the upper and bottom threads)
100 the nipple of special embroidery can be raised and lowered automatically before manual frame shifting or embroidering.
110 zigzag sewing lever can be tested manually.
the key technical indexes
10 the sequence of flat embroidery head and special embroidery head: the default setting is that first needle position is for special embroidery, the rest of neddles are for flat embroidery.
20 speed limit for special embroidery: 300-600 rpm, unit: 10rpm.
30 angle of m-axis rotated manually: 18�per step.
embroidery process
�1 �input special embroidery design, select design, make adjustment and edit.
�2 �change parameter, select color-changing order and decide embroidery mode.
�3 �check special embroidery head, make sure it runs well.
�4 �pull bar to embroider.
related parameter and setting mode
click parameter setting key .
d28 special embroidery head interval:
range: 1^�300, index value: 150016201660185020002160225023002400250027002900300
if the set value is the index value, a * will be marked in front of the number; if you input digit 1-9, a � will be marked in front of the number.
d30 working height of special embroidery clamp foot: 0^�90
the clamp foot working height indicates the lift up height of the clamp foot when embroider every stitch.
d40 adjust clamp foot limit: 0^�250
the clamp foot limit indicates the max height of clamp foot when embroidering.
b16 adjust the lowest point of clamp foot : 0^�255
this parameter helps to adjust the lowest working point of clamp foot.
d31 rod pos. of zigzag: left/ right
the rod position indicates where the swing locates (left or right) when m axis is in origin. the setting should be in accordance with mechanical position.
c38 swing range in zigzag:�-10.0^�-0.2 �+0.2^�+10.0 �
the swinging scope of the embroidery frame in zigzag sewing: -9.0--+9.0; operation ditto. the parameter is for z5 stitching functions and applies to thick cords. for a thick cord, the z5 embroidering is to move the frame to add to the swinging scope of the lever. the parameter�s absolute value is set according to the cord width. and the �+/-� is decided by the machine structure. the moving directions of the lever and frame should be the same. otherwise please change the �+/-� setting.
d42 rotary gap of m axis: 0~10
the m axis of special embroidery head has mill clearance. so without compensation, the needle will not fall in the right position. adjust this parameter value to ensure that the needle falls in the center of tape.
during machine debugging, parameter value should be �0� when needle falls in the center of tape. if not, repeat the adjustment to realize the best effect.
parameter operation is same as above.
generally, this parameter is managed by professional experts before leaving factory.
d44 m axis work off angle: 0, 90
in case of normal and sequin embroidery, the m axis stops at the angle of the set value. when the distance between the normal embroidery head and special embroidery head is small, this parameter must be set as 90� to avoid bumping.
c52 spec. speed-down angle: 1~180
the parameter is used to set the lowest rotate angle of m axis for speed reduction. we recommend setting the value to 30.
c53 spec. speed-down ratio: 1~4
the parameter is used to set the speed reduction ratio. the bigger the value is, the faster the speed decrease.
d39 z shift control angle: 0~180
when the rotating angle is larger than the set value, the z axis will speed faster.
d41 adj zigzag rod angle: 1~3
it is the starting angle of the rod, which indicates the relative position of the needle bar and thread. �1� indicates the swing starts at an early angle; �2� indicates the swing postpones certain angle; �3� indicates the swing postpones certain angle again to start.
c36 ratio of coil emb.: the ratio of coiling: �1~4 sti/l�
the parameter can change the coiling density; e.g. the set value 2 means one coiling every two stitches.

mechanical category and driving mode choice of special embroidery machines
taping machines have three moving parts in the sense of mechanics. we define them as m axis, e axis and clamp foot axis. m axis rotates a certain degrees every stitch to trace the stitch, which ensures cords or tapes always in front of needle movement. e axis swings once every one or two stitch to make the zigzag embroidery. clamp foot axis is for lifting and lowering the clamp foot.
10 m axis
the mechanism of m axis can be divided to two types. one is with clutch device, whose action is controlled by electropneumatic valve or by hand. its advantage is that only the m axis of the mending embroidery is moving and non-mending embroidery heads are still when mending. this will help raise the quality and efficiency of mending. the other type is without clutch device. both of the two types are driven by servomotor and the origin of the m axis is positioned by proximity switch.
20 e axis
according to the difference in motor and whether to use the proximity switch for positioning, e axis can be divided to the following types:
�1 � stepping motor, driving heads separately, without proximity switch for positioning
�2 � stepping motor, driving heads by one motor, with proximity switch for positioning
�3 �stepping motor, driving heads by one motor, without proximity switch for positioning
�4 � servomotor driving, with proximity switch for positioning
30clamp foot axis
the working diagram of the clamp foot: (the clamp foot working height is the interval of the foot�s movement with every stitch. the clamp foot rising height is the foot�s moving distance from the bottom to the upper point in non-embroidery mode. and it�s also called the clamp foot limited height.)
embed coreldraw.graphic.9
according to the difference in motor and whether to use the proximity switch for positioning, the clamp foot axis can be divided to the following types:
�1 � raising the clamp foot manually
in this mode, the clamp foot working height relies on the rotating of the cam and the clamp foot is raised to the limited height by hand.
�2 � 2-phase stepping motor, separately driving the embroidery heads, without the holding force and proximity switch
it uses a 2-phase stepping motor for driving every special embroidery head and controlling its working height and limited height. the power is off and there is no the holding force when the clamp foot stays at the upper point or bottom point. no proximity switch is taken for positioning. and the contwheel by default takes that the foot is at the bottom position when turning on the machine.
�3 �2-phase stepping motor, separately driving the embroidery heads, with the holding force and without proximity switch
it uses a 2-phase stepping motor for driving every special embroidery head and controlling its working height and limited height. the power is on and there is the holding force when the clamp foot stays at the upper point, but not at the bottom point. no proximity switch is taken for positioning. and the contwheel by default takes that the foot is at the bottom position when turning on the machine.
�4 �mono-phase ac motor, driving the embroidery heads by one motor, 2 proximity switches
in this mode, the clamp foot working height relies on the rotating of the cam and the clamp foot is raised to the limited height by one mono-phase ac motor driving the clamp axis. both the upper and bottom points are set with a proximity switch to adjust the clamp foot rising height. neither the upper nor bottom point has the holding force.
�5 � (2-phase or 3-phase) stepping motor, driving the embroidery heads by one motor, 1 proximity switch
in this mode, the clamp foot working height relies on the rotating of the cam and the clamp foot is raised to the limited height by stepping motor driving the clamp axis. the upper point is set with a proximity switch to position. the bottom point is set by parameters. both the upper and bottom points have the holding force.
�6 �pneumatic motor, separately driving the embroidery heads, without proximity switch.
in this mode, the clamp foot working height relies on the rotating of the cam and the clamp foot is raised to the limited height by pneumatic motor driving the heads separately.
