machines, handlebar control is always available, so
this button simply prevents any communication
from the Pro-Stitcher computer from being
processed by the quilting machine. To return to
normal Pro-Stitcher control, press the button (which
has now become a Connect Pro-Stitcher button)
again to reestablish communication between the
Pro-Stitcher and the quilting machine.
Reconnect Motors
If the Pro-Stitcher motors ever become unplugged
or disconnected from the computer, it may be
necessary to use the Reconnect Motors button to
reestablish communications between the
Pro-Stitcher computer and the motors. If the
Pro-Stitcher computer cannot communicate with
the motors for any reason, it will be indicated
by a lightning bolt icon at the top right-hand
corner of the screen. Pressing the lightning bolt
button in the top right-hand corner of the screen
will perform the same function as the Reconnect
Motors button.
