Saving the seam contour
Figure 80: Saving the seam contour
The final step is to save the finished seam program and copy it to
aUSBstick.
Not all commonly available USB sticks are suitable for the copying pro-
cess.
You can obtain a suitable USB stick from Dürkopp Adler using the order
number 9805 791113.
1. Select the menu items Data transfer > USB memory stick >
Save (PC->>USB).
After successfully saving to the USB stick, the following steps must be per-
formed at the machine:
Transferring the program to the sewing unit
1. Insert the USB stick and copy the desired file to the
DAC( 7.15 Copying a seam program or sequence, page 87).
2. Open the copied program ( 7.5 Opening a seam program or
sequence for sewing, page 74).
3. Adjust the program parameters (especially the sewing foot height)
( 7.17.2 Changing the parameters, page 93).
4. Perform a contour test to check the clamp motion ( 7.11 Performing
a contour test, page 83).
 Sewing with the program can begin after successful testing/adjust-
ment.
ATTENTION
Damage to the machine through exceeding the sewing field size
If you have entered contour points that lie outside the sewing field then
the movement of the clamps during sewing can cause damage to the
machine or the sewing material.
After creating or changing a program, perform a contour test. This way,
you can check whether the entire contour lies within the range of the
possible sewing field.
