There are two types of Link functions: [USB Link]
and [Wireless Link]. If [Link] is listed in the settings
screen of your embroidery machine, your machine
supports the USB Link function.
Embroidery designs can be embroidered by
transferring the embroidery data from the computer
to one or more embroidery machines compatible
with the USB Link function. Connect the embroidery
machine and computer with a USB cable. These
embroidery designs are embroidered after the data
