Initialization success,the operation panel will enter ready mode, then you can begin your sewing work. 2.3 Sewing of the Standard Patterns ■Operation steps Turn on the Power.The control panel is at the initial condition. The typical setting status is as follows. Main display show Max.Width(mm)
Press the Standard Pattern 5 key. The indicator nearby that key will turn on.At same time the main display area show 5-3- for a second and show the work width of the pattern after that. If you want to change pattern shape, press “Set” key. The width data in main display area will blink.
2.6 Sewing of the left/right T Stitch pattern For example:Sewing the Left T Stitch with 5 straight stitch and 2 repeated T stitch( 7 =02 ) ■Operation Steps Press the Standard Pattern 7 key. The indicator nearby the key will turn on.At same time the main display area show 7-05 for a second and show the work width of the pattern after that.
2.8 Work zigzag width setting Zigzag width unit: 1.0mm Max. zigzag width: 8.0mm Setting precision : 0.1mm ■Operation Steps Asume the control panel is at the normal condition. Press “Set” key, then press “Zigzag width” key. The width data shown in the main display blinks.

the main display will show the pattern width. Press “Width” key, the main display will show the pattern width. Press down the pedal to start sewing.If the indicator for start condensation is on, then the specified numbers of stitches for condensation is sewed first, then follwed is the normal sewing.
2.12 End Condensation Operation ■ Operation Steps Press “End condensation” key in the normal state, the indicator nearby the key will be lit up. The main display will show the number of condensation stitches in the “C” side. Such as “C-**” Press “End condensation”...
rpm, the end condensation is sewed by the speed of 1200 rpm.when the work speed is less than 1200 rpm, it is done as work speed. The condition for end condensation to work is: all of the C,D,U value is larger than 0 and the indicator for end condensation is on.
stop,or press “N2+” key to set free stop, or press “N3+” key to set “end stop” state. Press “Set” key to confirm the change. The display stop blinks. Note: “Stitch-counted Sew” will not consider the setting of left/right stopping. 2.15 Needle Up/Down Stopping When the “Up /Down Stop”...
number of stitches in horizontal side.Such as “F-**”. If you want to change this value, press the corresponding “+”/ “-” key. The biggest stitch number is 99. Press “Width” key, the main display show the work width. Press pedal forward to start sewing. After the number of stitches set by vertical side in “E-**”...
U-Disk. When the U-Disk contain valid patterns is inserted to the USB socket in the GT856D control box, user can sew these patterns directly. Also, user can copy pattern datas from U-Disk to control box or from control box to U-Disk.
Page 23
To use patterns in a U-Disk, just plug the U-Disk to the USB device socket in the GT856D control box. After that, when you want to select a ROM pattern, you can only “see” the patterns in the U-Disk.The patterns stored in the machine can not be select at this state.
3 Download Pattern From PC to Machine The machine can store up to 1000 ROM patterns. User can edit these patterns from PC and download them to the machine through RS232 port. The pattern edit tool in PC is “Style Edit”. The following is the main view of the edit tool. The following is the view of the download dialog.
Page 25
For the detailed introduction to the edit tool, please refer to its manual. Here we only introduce the operation in the panel about how to enter the communication control mode to receive patterns. ■Operation Steps 1) Press “N1+” key and “N4+” key simutaneously. “Prog” will show on main display.
4 Create Pattern Through Control Panel User can create new pattern directly through the control panel.It is useful when the user can not get a computer to create a pattern. The operation steps to do this job is described below by 2 examples.

(7) Press N1+ key to enable the X/Y alternative input. (8) The display will show “o -4.0”, here “o” indicates that the the X/Y alternative input is enabled. If you press the N1+ again, the display will show “-4.0” which mean the X/Y alternative input is disabled.
5 Setting the System Parameter User can solve some sewing faults or adjust the sewing to the optimum condition by use system parameter setting. 5.1 The list of the System Parameter Parameter Function Description Range Default value Unit Remark Items P-01 Max.

5.3 The Description of Specific Parameters (1) Adjust the up needle positioning Please press the “Half stitch motion” key two times. If you find out that the needle bar position is not in the “U” and “D” position respectively,you need to adjust the up needle position.
6.1 The Test of Input Device If something is wrong with X/Y origin sensor, safe switch, reverse-feed switch,pedal switch, servo encoder and the key in the control panel, you may need to enter the input device test mode to locate the fault. To enter the mode, keep pressing the key “N1+”...
Test Feed motor. press “N4+”, motor move forward, press “N4-”, motor move backward. Test control panel display element. Press pedal to trigger. Indicator is light on one by one. Then Digit is show one by one. Test Thread Trimmer. press “N4+” or “N4-”, the Trimmer do a action. Test Thread Nipper.
