Connecting your PC to the sewing machine allows you to perform test sewing based on data created with PM-1
(sewing data creating and editing software).
Connect your PC and transmit data IP-420 to the sewing machine after creating it with PM-1, and IP-420 automati-
cally shows the test sewing screen when the data input screen is called up. Refer to the help screen or the like for
how to operate PM-1.

Data transmission
1. To perform test sewing:
(1) Reception of data for test sewing from PM-1
When data (vector type) for test sewing is transmit-
ted from PM-1, the screen shown at right appears,
and a needle positioning drawing of transmitted data
appears in the center of the screen.
The color of the needle positioning drawing changes
depending on thread tension. If the stitch count of
transmitted data is too large, a needle positioning
drawing does not appear.
(2) Edit of vector parameter
The following 3 items are configurable on data trans-
mitted from PM-1.
A: Thread tension
B: X-axial enlargement/reduction ratio or actual value
C: Y-axial enlargement/reduction ratio or actual value
* The memory switch, U64, provides selection between
an enlargement/reduction ratio and an actual value.
