| I used Windows Explorer to organize
the designs in the 12 folders on my ATA PC Card, giving each folder a
more descriptive name. When I put the card in my machine, all the
designs were gone, but I can still see them on my computer. What's
happening? A version 3.0 ATA PC Card contains 12 folders, named EmbF5 through EmbF16. These names are not arbitrary, but are essential to proper treatment of the card by the machine. When you rename those folders and put the card in the machine, any missing folders in the sequence are recreated, and will appear empty. All of the folders that you renamed are invisible to the machine. To correct this problem, move all of the designs in your renamed folders into one of the EmbFx folders and then delete the empty renamed folder. To prevent this problem, do not use Windows Explorer to rename the folders. Either rename them in the sewing machine, using the folder key and the Name option, or rename them using the Janome Customizer software. When you have opened the ATA PC Card for updating (ATA Card -> Write designs, read and erase), you can right click any folder to rename it. Do not use more than 8 characters for the name. |
