Chapter 4 - Performing Cutting Using a Computer
4-4. Executing Cutting Data Saved on a Memory Card
Important Notes When Saving Cutting Data
Valid Characters for File Names
Use the following characters for the file names you assign when saving cutting data.
Letters: A through Z
Numerals: 0 through 9
Special characters: $, &, #, %, -, _, ~ (the space character cannot be used)
Also, use a file name of eight characters or fewer, with a file extension of three characters or fewer.
Using a file name that does not meet these criteria may result in character corruption or the file name failing to be
displayed on the machine.
A Note on Creating New Folders
The machine does not display files saved in folders (subdirectories) created on a memory card. Cutting data for use with
this machine must be saved in the root directory.
The Number of Files That Can Be Saved
This machine can handle up to 512 files saved in the root directory. It is possible to save more than 512 files in a
subdirectory, but the machine cannot use them.
Note that the actual number of files that can be saved depends on the available space on the memory card.
Deleting Cutting Data
To delete cutting data, load the memory card into a memory-card writer and drag the file or files you want to delete to the
Recycle Bin in Windows.
