Machine Connections can be handled in a number of ways:
- If your embroidery machine comes with machine connection software, such as, Ricoma PC Communication Software (EMB_soft.exe) for Ricoma embroidery machine, or “Happy Link” software for Happy embroidery machine, etc., then “Connection Manager” is what you need. Please find out more information by clicking here.
- If your embroidery machine comes with a serial port but no machine connection software, please read the information below:
- Before you can send designs for stitching, you must configure the machine in EmbroideryStudio/DecoStudio. This configuration functionality allows you to add machines, change settings for machines that are already set up, or delete machines that are no longer required.

Some of the previous type Tajima machines do not support USB memory, but it is now available to input design data by connecting the captioned device and using USB memory stick for those models. Please verify that your machine has a serial port as some older Tajima machines only have a parallel port. 2B1 No response is received for 5 seconds since.

- EmbroideryStudio/DecoStudio provides alternative means for sending designs directly to the embroidery machine for stitching. Depending on your software options, you can stitch to the machine using either Stitch Manager or Machine Manager.
Your machine must be set up through Stitch Manager if you are sending to Stitch Manager, or Machine Manager if sending to Machine Manager.
The following information provides details pertaining to the protocols and settings required for EmbroideryStudio/DecoStudio to connect to embroidery machines.
