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

●

USB hubs cannot be used through the primary (top) USB port for media or the USB port for mouse. The 
machine will not recognize the above USB devices or USB memory cards through a USB hub.

●

The access lamp will begin blinking after inserting USB Devices/Media, and it will take about 5 to 6 
seconds to recognize the Devices/Media. (Time will differ depending on the USB Device/Media.)

●

Do not unplug a USB device/media from this machine immediately after it has been plugged in. Be sure 
to wait at least 5 seconds before unplugging the USB device/media.

●

For additional information, refer to the instruction manual included with the USB media that you have 
purchased.

●

While using embroidery data other than our original patterns, the thread or needle may break 
when sewing with a stitch density that is too fine or when sewing three or more overlapping 
stitches. In that case, use one of our original data design systems to edit the embroidery data.
