Line Scan; Using The Scanning Frame To Create A Pattern With Line Scan - Brother PR1055X Operation Manual

LINE SCAN

Custom patterns can be created from drawings. You can
create patterns by scanning your drawings using the
scanning frame* or importing an image from USB media or
computer.
* The scanning frame is an optional accessory in some
countries or regions.
Recommended line drawings for Line Scan
• Line drawings must be drawn clearly using lines with
approximately 1 mm (3/64 inch) thickness.
• Line drawings should be drawn in a strong contrast.
• If the lines are too short or gathered too densely, they
will not be scanned correctly.
Note
• For details on creating patterns using color
illustrations, refer to "ILLUSTRATION SCAN" on
page 162.
• If you cannot scan the drawings as expected, you
can edit the design in My Design Center. Refer to
"PATTERN DRAWING SCREEN" on page 147.
• Line drawings are scanned without recognizing the
thickness of lines. If you want to change the
thickness of lines, specify in the settings screen.
Refer to "STITCH SETTINGS SCREEN" on
page 154.
• Line drawings are scanned as black lines. If you
want to change the colors, specify in My Design
Center. Refer to "Drawing lines" on page 149.
