Powering Up And Shutting Down; Carriage Quick Release Levers - Baby Lock Pro-Stitcher BLPS Instruction And Reference Manual

Powering Up and Shutting Down

1.
Make sure power is reaching the computer by
checking that the power cord is plugged into the
power supply located at the back of the carriage.
The barrel-shaped power connector should then be
plugged into the bottom of the black box behind the
computer, and the short power cord connects the
black box to the computer. The computer will run on
AC power as long as this connection is made. If the
cable becomes unplugged, the computer will contin-
ue to run on battery power until the battery dies.
2.
The tablet computer can be turned on by sliding
the power switch at the bottom left-hand side of the
screen to the right (Figure 22).
3.
Shutting down the computer should be done us-
ing the "Shut Down" button on the main window of
the Pro-Stitcher screen. If needed, the power switch
can be slid to the right in order to begin a shut-down
sequence. This should only be used if the "Shut
Down" button cannot be accessed or does not work.
4.
Leaving the Pro-Stitcher computer powered on
with the power cord unplugged will result in the bat-
tery discharging and the computer eventually shut-
ting itself down.
5.
If the Pro-Stitcher computer is left on for a long
period of time, the screen may turn black and enter
a sleep mode. It can be revived by tapping on the
screen.

Carriage Quick Release Levers

To move the Baby Lock quilting machine around
on the table after the program has loaded, press the
"motors enabled" button on the top right-hand side
of the touch screen. This toggles the motors be-
tween being "enabled" and being "disabled." Use the
mechanical disengagement levers on the right-hand
side of the carriage to physically disengage the white
carriage gears from the blue fl exiracks (Figures 23
& 24). This allows true "free motion" quilting with
no added resistance from the Pro-Stitcher. For both
levers, the Down position is "Engaged" and the Up
position is "Disengaged."
