The TAJIMA TFHX Series machine may not read the USB when you press A if:
1. The machine or the external device (USB) is not powered on in the correct order. The external device must be turned on before the machine. 2. Data transmission is attempted without confirming the machine is powered on. 3. You are attempting standby input during color change or frame traveling, which is not allowed. 4. There is insufficient memory capacity; if memory is full, code number 2BA will display and input will stop. 5. The USB is being accessed during floppy disk reading, which temporarily disables the operation panel.
Check power order, machine state, and memory capacity before proceeding.

CHAPTER 1 IMPORTANT WARNING ITEMS FOR SAFE OPERATION 1. INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT CAUTION Install the machine on a sturdy floor. The floor structure must be strong enough to bear the machine weight (indicated on the spec. plate). If the floor is supported by steel frames, place the machine stand on the steel beams as long as possible.
CHAPTER 1 IMPORTANT WARNING ITEMS FOR SAFE OPERATION 2. CAUTIONS ON MACHINE OPERATION CAUTION For long life machine operation, operate the machine with about 70% of the maximum speed as “operation for total fitting” for about one month after installation. By performing operation for total fitting, life of the machine will become longer, which will be useful to avoid unexpected troubles.

Questions and answers
When I put usb into machine it wont read it when I hit A
The TAJIMA TFHX Series machine may not read the USB when you press A if:
1. The machine or the external device (USB) is not powered on in the correct order. The external device must be turned on before the machine.
2. Data transmission is attempted without confirming the machine is powered on.
3. You are attempting standby input during color change or frame traveling, which is not allowed.
4. There is insufficient memory capacity; if memory is full, code number 2BA will display and input will stop.
5. The USB is being accessed during floppy disk reading, which temporarily disables the operation panel.
Check power order, machine state, and memory capacity before proceeding.
