Note:
• When an embroidery machine is
connected to the computer, the
embroidery machine is recognized by the
computer as a removable disk and is
assigned a drive letter. If this drive letter
is the same as one that has already been
assigned by the computer, designs
cannot be sent from the computer to that
embroidery machine. This problem
occurs, for example, if a network drive
has been assigned a computer drive
letter. If this occurs, cancel the
assignment for the drive with the
conflicting drive letter.
• When the number of embroidery
machines connected to the computer via
USB is increased, the operating system
may require that the computer be
restarted. At that time, restart the
computer.
