Stitch Data Precautions

Observe the following precautions when using stitch data other than that created and saved in this 
machine.

■

Types of Stitch Data that can be Used

• In the Character/Decorative Stitch memory, “.pmx” and “.pmu” stitch data files can be used with this 

machine. “.pmu” stitch data files can be retrieved; however, when the machine is used to save the file, it is 
saved as a “.pmx” stitch data file. Using data other than that created using this machine or the machine which 
create “.pmu” data file, may cause the machine to malfunction.

■

Types of USB Devices/Media that can be Used

Stitch data can be saved to or recalled from USB external media. Use external media that meets the following 
specifications.
• USB Flash drive (USB Flash memory)
• USB Floppy disk drive

Stitch data can be recalled only from;

• USB CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW drives

You can also use the following types of USB media with the USB Memory Card Reader/USB card writer module.
• Secure Digital (SD) Card
• CompactFlash
• Memory Stick
• Smart  Media
• Multi Media Card (MMC)

• To create file folders, use a computer.

■

Computers and Operating Systems with the Following Specifications can be 
Used

• Compatible models:

IBM PC with a USB port as standard equipment
IBM PC-compatible computer equipped with a USB port as standard equipment

Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista

■

Precautions on Using the Computer to Create and Save Data

• If the name of the stitch data file/folder cannot be identified, for example, because the name contains special 

characters, the file/folder is not displayed. If this occurs, change the name of the file/folder. We recommend 
using the 26 letters of the alphabet (uppercase and lowercase), the numbers 0 through 9, “-”, and “_”.

• Stitch data in a folder created in USB media can be retrieved.
• Do not create folders in “Removable Disk” on a computer. If stitch data is stored in a folder in “Removable 

Disk”, that stitch data cannot be retrieved by the machine.

Note

• Some USB media may not be usable with this machine. Please visit our website for more details.

• The access lamp will begin blinking after inserting USB Devices/Media, and it will take about 5 to 6 sec-

onds to recognize the Devices/Media. (Time will differ depending on the USB Device/Media).
