Old BAS-300 data
BAS-300E data can be used when sewing with the KE-436C, but the data resolution will be limited to 0.1 mm per pulse.
The above four types of data can all be read, but when writing to disk, all data is automatically converted to BAS-300E data
when writing to 2HD disks and BAS-300A data when writing to 2DD disks.
When using a 2HD disk, use a disk which has been pre-formatted as a 1.44 MB disk. (The programmer can be used to
format these disks. Refer to the programmer instruction manual for details.)
TFD embroidery data can be embroidered after it has been converted by the programmer to BAS-300E data.
Restrictions when using 2DD floppy disks and KE-436C data
In order to maintain compatibility with the old BAS-300A data, the following restrictions have been placed on the use of the
new functions which have been added to the E series.
