Hey guys,

A few questions.

-Connecting my 830 to my PC shouldnt be to hard. I will need to go buy a serial pci card, and connect it via that method.

-How do you "Send" a file to the machine? Is a specific program needed? For example, If I were to buy a Pfaff program, do they communicate?
Or do you need a toyota SPECIFIC program?

-Is it standard that any manufacturer's machines will communicate with any software brand?

I am a little confused.

Thanks!

I have an 830 connected to my pc but i am using datastitch softwear so can speak for others. I load the design or logo, generate the stitches, then on the machine control panel, push clear , the number one, and set. The comp and machine will take it from there.

To do a direct connection to an embroidery machine you will need the software to do it. Our SWF will do it but they charge extra for that capacity. We use USB flash drives.

I have an 860. I contact Pantograms to get the communication software.

OK So Just before I spent 2000$ on Forte software, from Pantograms, i found a free program that will send designs to my machines.

Saved me a ton of cash,

Hope this helps some one down the road, because I had a hell of a time trying to get info on these old machines!

Andrew, the link you provided is connected to datastitch a dist. of toyota machines and i suspect the softwear you got from them came from datastitch. They are in Weatherford TX. and their lead tech is Javier, a very helpful person.
