Cautions
Setting Up
Be sure to turn off the power of the computer before connecting appendages.
The SSP Writer (ROM Writer Program) Program is compatible with Windows 2000,
Windows XP, and Windows NT.
In the SSP-WE/2.5 install version, the key-lock for print port is different from the
key-lock for USB port. Therefore, the SSP-WE/2.5 for USB port does not support
the connection to the key-lock for print port.

Getting Started
IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn
This manual is an electronic sewing machine input program relating to
Pattern, Bartack and KM-2070P that users can easily create and edit and
manage sewing data, generally covering about how to install and use the
program. Please recommend users that they should read through this
manual without fail prior to using.

15
After installing the program on your computer, connect the Key-Lock
with the printer port. (Execution of the program without connection
occurs an Error message.) The program is installed on your selection
directory. You can find that the program is registered in a Start Menu-
Program directory on the left bottom of the monitor screen as follows:
(Refer to Installing the Program.)
[Ex:Start Menu Program-SunStar SSP3.5-SSP3.5]
Start and Finish of Program
②START Dialog opens as shown in
the left picture upon execution of
the SSDP program. Click“New
Data”to start the program.
①Click SSP-WE/3.0 registered as shown in the Figure or click the execution file in the
folder, which is actually installed, then you can execute the program.
④To plug out the Key-Lock during execution of the program occurs an Erro message in a few
seconds and the program is not executed. Therefore do not plug out the Key-Lock during
execution of the program. Please without fail to save sewing data prior to terminating the
program.
③To terminate the program, save
the file, select“Finish”in the file
menu, or click“Close”on the right
topupper of the program screen.
⑤If you click and execute Start Menu-Program SunStar-SSP WE1.0, then click“ROM”in the
SSP Program menu, SSPWriter is not executed. In this case, execute SSPWriter directly,
or click“ROM”after execution of SSP in the folder which its program is installed.

16
⑤If you zooms in the screen over the maximum extension upon using Zoom In / Zoom Out
tools, a message box opens and it is not extended more. Continuous execution under this
situation may lose data on the screen. Therefore do not extend the screen forcibly, and
reduce it using Zoom Out.
You must have full knowledge of the followings upon using the program.
How to Use
②Configuration data like a circle cannot be asymmetrica-
lly adjusted. If you input different values in X-axis and Y-
axis to extend data in the Zoom In & Zoom Out functio-
n, two axial values are systematically applied and
created in the same size. If, however, you asymmetric-
ally zoom in / out sewing data including configuration
data, change its attribute into a Point Stitch.
①This program describes how to create and edit configuration data or sewing data using
keyboard direction keys. Before using, you must read though the screen mode. The
program is set up to automatically configure its screen size according to your monitor size. If
you change the default screen size and execute the program to input and edit data using
keyboard direction keys, it is not changed normally because of its mapping unconformity
with the Windows screen. That is to say, it is inputted apart 2~3mm from the input position.
But, it is correctly inputted upon using a mouse point.
④Do not create sewing data of 10,000 stitches or more if possible. The sewing machine
can create up to 300,00 stitches. However, if it creates 10,000 stitches or more in a
screen, the program may get slowed, or stop. To reduce this phenomenon somewhat,
select“Stitch Off”in the toolbar on the bottom of the
menu.
③If you receive and send data to SSP-Writer 1, dozens of seconds may be required.

17
And if you reduce the screen to some extent that
you cannot find data on it upon using Zoom Out, the
program may stop. Please recommend you that you
should restrain from reducing the screen excessiv-
ely.
⑥Select configuration data or sewing data to be applied prior to executing each function.
Upon selecting data, the configuration data indicates in blue and the sewing data indicates
in red. If you want to execute any data, it is good that you select it with a mouse and apply it
although the blue or the red indicates.
