embroidery machines. It has a touch-screen type Operation Box as shown in [Fig. 1.1-1]. The OP Box can be folded and
fixed with the panel on the back. It is not required to attach the OP Box to the embroidery machine, so that it can be
placed wherever the user wants to put. The cable and ports are located on the right and rear side of the OP Box.
