to place the scan image within the scan area.
The image out of the scan area will not be

• Make sure that the white balance area or the

included with the scanning frame.

Memo
• Unthread the machine to avoid having the
thread slipping out of the needle or getting
caught on the embroidery frame.

• Make sure that embroidery foot and needle are fully
raised. If scanning is started with the embroidery foot
and needle lowered, the scanning frame may hit the
machine, causing damage.
Note
• Be sure not to attach any embroidery foot
other than the embroidery foot “W”, otherwise
the embroidery foot will be scanned.
