I was just ready to start a rush order when my software dongle just stopped working. It had been working only 15 minutes earlier so I am at a loss as to what to do and with this rush order that has to be done. Does anyone know if you can use any embroidery software to send designs to a Toyota ESP 9000. I have called tech support but they no longer support this software so they are no help at all. Any help or suggestions any one could give to get me out of this jam I would really be grateful. Chris

Im not used to how the totota machines work . What software do you use an how do you transfer the designs over normally?

I have been using the Pantograms Designer Series which they no longer support but it works for me so I saw no reason to upgrade until now. I normally put the design in the software and it transfers it to the machine. I am a visual type person so this works for me, now I'm not sure what to do. Chris

Looking at the machine you have it looks like it has a USB port so you probably can just save the embroidery files from your computer onto a USB memory stick and the machine should read it from there.

No, my machine does not have a place for a flash drive. It does have a floppy drive I can use and have been using as a work around but I would rather send it from my computer. I am a visual person and like to see what is going to the machine. I guess I was just wondering if there were any other programs that could send the design to the machine via com port or if I am stuck just getting another program from Pantograms which I am sure will not be cheap.

Hi

The 9000 will read dst files from the diskette so as a back up you can export the files to diskette using an external floppy switch to diskette drive mode and access your designs

Thanks for all your help, I managed to find a solution online. I was able to repaired the rainbow driver and that seems to have done the trick. I keep thinking I will need something down the road if the dongle does this again and repairing the rainbow driver doesn't work. I always make a floppy just in case and to keep if I get a repeat order. Thank God I did, so I was able to finish my rush order until I able to find the fix I needed.
