1. User-friendly Interface on Touching Panel
The adoption of the touching panel technology offers user the delightful operation and easy learning.
The beautiful screen display turns everyday work into joyful experiences.
2. Huge Memory Capacity
The memory capacity reaches 100 million stitches, which can meet demands of different customers.
3. Maximum Stitch Amount of One Pattern Reaches Two Million
At present, a single pattern in the system has the maximum of 2 million stitches and 1,000 times of
automatic color changing.
4. Multi-Task Parallel Operation and Free Shift among Tasks
During the embroidery, actions like pattern input & output, preparation for the following patterns and
modification of parameters can be carried out.
5. Storage of Frequently Used Parameters and Color-Changing Order for Each Pattern
Pattern will be saved along with its parameters, color-changing orders and needle bar colors. System can
save the operational details for each pattern. Users can set parameters for a pattern during the
embroidery process of the previous pattern, which will save time and improve efficiency. Moreover, it is
one basis to realize network management.

6. Pattern Input/Output via USB
Customers can use USB disk for data transfer. USB disk supports DIR operation, which is easy for
pattern management. For each directory, system supports operation of 400 patterns or sub-directory.
There is no limitation of directory levels. Patterns in the formats of Binary, Ternary and Z-nary can be
loaded.
7. Patch Embroidery
This function can set a patch point at the position of color code or stop code, and when the machine
embroiders to the patch point, it will halt and move out frame for patching. After sticking a patch, user
would press the start key to return the frame and continue embroidering.
8. Brake Adjustment
User can adjust the parameter of brake to let the main shaft stop at the correct position according to the
characters of his own machines.
9. Save Start Point
This function can save the start point of each pattern, which saves the work of user to search the start
point manually at embroidering the identical pattern.
10. Mechanical Maintenance and Debugging
This function is to easily judge the malfunctions at maintaining and debugging the machine, such as
encoder testing, main shaft speed testing, machine parts testing and the main shaft stopping at any
position, etc.
11. Multi-Language Support
Currently, the system supports the display in Chinese, English, Spanish and Turkish, Russian, French
and many other languages.
12. Pattern Output
Patterns can be output and saved into USB disk. Adoption of TAJIMA’s binary format enjoys the
advantage of data transmitting through the World Wide Web (other formats may not be transmitted
directly).
13. Repetition Embroidery
The user can increase embroidery productivity by using the function of repetition embroidery, which can
also be used with cyclic embroidery.
14. Cyclic Embroidery
With this function, the machine can automatically return to the origin and start the same embroidery
again when finishing the pattern one time. User also can increase productivity rapidly by combining this
function with special pattern-making function or repetition embroidery function.
15. Pattern Compiling
(1) Compiling the Data of Selected Pattern to Generate New Pattern
Users can compile any pattern according to zoom ratio, rotate angle, normal repetition or partial
repetition to generate a new pattern and save it to memory. The newly generated pattern can be used for
embroidering, output or other operations.
(2) Compiling the Combined Pattern
After setting the combined pattern, the system can compile that pattern to generate a new one and save it
to memory. The newly generated pattern can be used for embroidering, output or other operations.
