Quick Start

This "cheat sheet" is not a substitute for proper training and confidence in operating this very nice and expensive machine! If you're feeling unsure, ask for help!
  1. Digitize your file - software magic process steps go here - and copy onto special USB 1.0 stick
  2. Insert stick into USB port at rear left side of machine
  3. Scan card on lockout device to power on Tajima
  4. Choose your frame type at "Frame:"
    • flat: the various flat circular green frames
    • cap: the round metal hat torture device
  5. "Initialize: On" allows the machine to home at calibrate, why would you ever turn this off?
  6. Load your file from USB stick by pressing the "Data" button and scrolling through the list
  7. "Color change:"
    • auto: if you'd like the machine to just run your color order
    • manual: if you need to change fabrics or positions between colors/operations
  8. Type in your color change order - note this is in hexadecimal so 1-9 then 10 is typed using the "+10" button then 0 and shows up as A, so 11 is "+10" then 1 and will show up as B, etc.

Needle Replacement Procedure

  1. Loosen Flathead screw, remove worn or damaged needle
  2. When installing needle, vertical groove faces user, seat needle fully into holder.
  3. Ensure vertical groove still aligned before tightening
  4. Tighten flathead screw
  5. Rethread the needle

Changing a Spool

  1. Load on new spool
  2. Cut old spool.
  3. Tie end of old thread to new thread. Clip any extra and stray material so it does not get caught when you pull it through
  4. Pull the old thread from the needle side. The new thread will get pulled through the tubing and tensioners automagically
  5. Cut new thread and rethread the needle

Rethreading A needle

To cleaning cut a thread, put new thread under NO TENSION and cut at an angle. This makes the thread end a wedge and un-frayed which is far easier to thread through the eye of a needle

Thread needle front to back (away from user), raise thread end up and into spring to hold it there.

Troubleshooting
