Thus when the machine is embroidering the back embroidery cloth-piece, the
front one can be replaced. After embroidering the designated design, the frame

This function is to adjust the control parameters for braking, so as to fit machines
running. Thus this function can help the machinery parts to work better with the
computer. The function depends on the two parameters “Set Brake Para” and
“Set Brake Para” is to adjust the stop position of the main shaft. When the main
shaft often stops at less than 100 degree, the user can increase the parameter value.
When the main shaft often stops at more than 100 degree, the user can decrease
the parameter value. Thus the user can adjust the value to let the main shaft stop
close to 100 degree. The value can be set between 0 and 30.
“Main Motor Para.” is to adjust cooperation between main shaft motor and
machinery parts. The parameter value can be set between 0 and 30, and set as 0 in
most situations. When during braking the main shaft vibrate without moving or
rotate in the reverse direction, the user can increase the parameter value.
After adjusting these parameters, the user can press the task swift key on the panel
to return to the main screen. Press the key and , to check the effects of
the parameter adjustment. If the user is not satisfied with the effects, he can press

Embroidery Machines
Taping machines have three moving parts in the sense of mechanics. We define
them as M axis, E axis and clamp foot axis. M axis rotates a certain degrees every
stitch to trace the stitch, which ensures cords or tapes always in front of needle
movement. E axis swings once every one or two stitch to make the Zigzag
embroidery. Clamp foot axis is for lifting and lowering the clamp foot.
1. M axis
The mechanism of M axis can be divided to two types. One is with clutch
that only the M axis of the patching embroidery is moving and non-patching
embroidery heads are still when mending. This will help raise the quality and
efficiency of patching. The other type is without clutch device. Both of the two
types are driven by servomotor and the origin of the M axis is positioned by
proximity switch.
2. E axis

3) Stepping motor, driving heads by one motor, without proximity switch for

The working diagram of the clamp foot: (The clamp foot working height is the
interval of the foot’s movement with every stitch. The clamp foot rising height is
the foot’s moving distance from the bottom to the upper point in non-embroidery
mode. And it’s also called the clamp foot limited height.)
According to the difference in motor and whether to use the proximity switch
for positioning, the clamp foot axis can be divided to the following types:

The normal design making system identify a sequin code as a jump stitch, but
it can not distinguish sequin combinations from one stitch position. For instance,
it can not recognize it’s a sequin A or B at one stitch position. Dahao special
multi-sequin design making is to add a few jump stitch codes after the original
sequin code(jump stitch or stitch length is less than 0.1mm)to indicate sequin
Rule is as follows:
The value of sequin B is 2,we use 1 sequin code plus 1 jump stitch.
The value of sequin A+B is 3,we use 1 sequin code plus 2 jump stitches.
The value of sequin C is 4,we use 1 sequin code plus 3 jump stitches.
The value of sequin A+C is 5,we use 1 sequin code plus 4 jump stitches.
The value of sequin B+C is 6,we use 1 sequin code plus 5 jump stitches.
The value of sequin A+B+C is 7,we use 1 sequin code plus 6 jump
stitches.
The value of sequin D is 8,we use 1 sequin code plus 7 jump stitches.
The value of sequin A+D is 9,we use 1 sequin code plus 8 jump stitches.
The value of sequin B+D is 10,we use 1 sequin code plus 9 jump stitches.
The value of sequin A+B+D is 11,we use 1 sequin code plus 10 jump
stitches.
The value of sequin C+D is 12,we use 1 sequin code plus 11 jump stitches.
The value of sequin A+C+D is 13,we use 1 sequin code plus 12 jump
stitches.
The value of sequin B+C+D is 14,we use 1 sequin code plus 13 jump

of MAC address. When the first two digits of MAC address are not zero, some
network equipments regards it as illegal MAC address and the equipment can’t
be linked to the network. So the first two digits of MAC address must be zero.
2、 IP address
1) Definition of IP address
IP also called Internet address is the logic address for solely marking the
mark itself. It’s like we find the phone by the phone number in the phone book. In
2) Form of IP address
The four numbers of IP address can be divided into 2 parts. One is network
number for marking the network. Another is computer number for marking the
specific machine in one network. IP addresses are divided into 3 kinds: A, B and
C.
represent computer.
B: the first two numbers represent network and the following 2 numbers
represent computer.
C: the first three numbers represent network and the last one represents
computer.
Use the following example to explain the network number and computer
number of C type.

3、 Subnet mask
To show how the network number and computer number are divided, subnet
mask is used to tell in one IP address which part is for network and which part is
for computer. It’s regulated that “1” is for network part and “0” is for computer
part. IP address and subnet mask combine to tell in which network the computer
is. So the subnet mask is very important. If it’s wrong, it will get the wrong
network address. Therefore the same network number must be set with the same
subnet mask.
4、 Gateway
it’s the IP address of the router which is in the same subnet of the computer. As
network 2, this data packet has to be sent to the router linked to us. It’s like in
sending by post you only need to deliver a letter to postman instead of delivering
by yourself. So when the computers are not in the same network segment, the
