Hello people , i want to help my girlfriend mom's with her machine , i'm really new on this and i dont understand well how it happens.
she told me more or less how she do it and i understood the following:
pre conditions:
- have a computer or disk reader
- have a embroidery machine.
- have the machine connected to the computer / reader.
in my case i have a computer and a embro machine.
the technical daat about both are:
embro machine:
Tajima TMEF 612
computer:
procesor: pentium 3
ram: 256 MB
OS: windows xp sp3
HD: 20 gb
Software to load dst's : ORION SMC ( the software that she is running looked like something prehistoric, i do not found nothing related to that

)
process:
- have the computer turned on
- open the software.
- charge the floppy disk on the software
- turn on the machine
- put the code to read from the disk reader / pc.
- select the archive or archives that i want to load on embro memory
- run the process on the machine
post conditions:- the embro machine will output the selected designs.
Background to have in mind:
in the past she had a disk reader but shw changed for a computer ( because , reader got broken ).
some weeks ago her comptuer got broken, and because its an old computer, she decided to get a better one.
the problem its that the new comptuer comes with win XP , and previous with win 98 so the guy that remplaced the computer , do some stuff to get the old embro program going on.
now , the program works, but when she want to load the data it gets a " ERROR 9 " , in the tajima.
Actual situation:
im like mad looking for a solution @ internet =p. and i got to here that looks a good place to ask ( after several hours of searching ._. )
searching , i found that it have to do with not founding the resources to load into the machine.
so by my understanding it could be several problems:
- hardware problem of connectivity between the computer and the embro machine.
- software problem of connectivity between the computer and the embro machine.
i analized this like a "lan computers problem" ... because its what i know ...
but i do not know the tools to solve it.
how can i check the connectivity problems ?- is there a way to check if computer is connected to the tajima ?
- is there a way to check if the tajima is connected to the computer ? (not the same question, may be one see the other but not in the reverse case)
to resume:
- do i understood the process well ?
- do i have points missing ?
- ( in case i have: ) can you explain me where i'm having missing points ?
- do you know how can i check connectivity between computer & tajima TMEF612 ?
- do you recomend any software to load dst's ?
- ( in case you recommend: ) do you know any good tutorial page ?
to conclude
Thanks for any answer that you can give me , and thanks for any clue that you may have.
Later,
Julio
