Embroidery jobs generated by the Production Manager can be transferred to a ma- chine with a T8 control unit that is connected via a network. For this purpose the monogram machine mode must be activated on the T8 control unit.
Page 13: T8 Control Unit With Other Zsk Machines
The T8 control unit cannot be networked with machines having an MSCD or MSCA control, LCD control unit or even a T8 control unit. It can only be networked with other ZSK machines having a TFT or MPC control unit.
Page 14: The Following Operation Can Be Implemented With
00490304 The following operation can be implemented with this configuration: Designs in the ZSK memory of a networked machine equipped with a TFT or MPC control unit can be loaded from the T8 control unit. A machine equipped with a TFT or MPC control unit cannot, however, transfer designs to a machine equipped with a T8 control unit.

2.6 Create data exchange directory and enable for network operation (Windows) Machines equipped with a T8 control unit need a subdirectory on the network PC for exchanging data with the GiS software. Create a directory named ZSK on the PC's hard disk with the Windows Explorer. The path to the directory is irrelevant, but it must be named ZSK.
