The MC200E machine does not support direct
connection but the machine does read USB
sticks.
The MB-4 machine supports direct connection.
You can download designs to the machine's
internal memory, or to an ATA Card or USB stick
attached to the machine. Direct connection for
the MB-4 machine is, however, only available in
the JANOME Digitizer MB product level.
JANOME Embroidery Software is able to
automatically detect which type of supported
machine is currently connected to the PC USB port.
The Machine menu items are determined by the
type of machine connected to the PC. If no
machine is detected, all menu items will be grayed
out. Your distributor will advise you about
supported machine types. See also
designs to machine.
Supported memory cards
Besides USB connection, you can write to ATA PC
card – 'Flash Memory' – in a similar way as you
would save to floppy disk. The ATA PC card is a
PCMCIA standard PC memory card that is used for
storing designs in JEF format to be read/written
from/to machine. The ATA PC card is designated as
a drive in your computer. The drive designation
may become E: or F: or some other letter. After
writing your design, you simply insert the card into
the ATA PC card slot of your machine (if
supported), and read the design.
Note If your computer is a laptop, there may be a
slot where you can insert the ATA PC card and its
adapter directly. If you have desktop computer,
you may need an ATA PC card reader/writer
connected to a USB port.
USB memory sticks
The latest machine models can read from and write
to USB memory sticks. These are very convenient
portable memory devices which can hold large
amounts of data in a small 'stick'.
Linking your PC by USB cable
All the supported Windows operating systems
support the use of a USB cable to connect a
supported machine directly to your PC, provided
your PC has a USB port installed.
To link your PC by USB cable
1 Turn on your PC and sewing machine.
2 Connect the Type A connector to the PC and the
Type B connector to the sewing machine.
Sending
Note Do not turn the PC or sewing machine off before
setup is complete.
3 Install the USB driver for the sewing machine.
Note This setup procedure is only necessary on first
usage. The cable can be disconnected with the power
on or off.
Installing USB drivers for direct
connection
The USB drivers for XP/Vista are included on your
JANOME Embroidery Software Installation CD. You
need to install them when connecting your
machine to PC. The Hardware Wizard automatically
searches for the correct drivers and guides you
through the process.
To install a USB driver for direct connection
1 Connect your machine to the computer with the USB
cable and turn both on.
The computer will search for new hardware and prompt
you to install a device driver.
