Floppy Disk for Viking Designer 1
The following tutorial explains how to write floppy disks for Viking Designer 1 embroidery machine in Embird. Before you start using floppy disks written in Embird with Designer 1 machine, make sure that the machine has the latest firmware. If not, download and install the update from http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/us/3190_6597.htm. Older firmware does not accept designs stored on floppy disks which were created in Embird.
1 - Run Embird, it will
start in "Manager" mode.
2 - In the "Files:" box at the right side of the screen select the
design which you want to write to floppy disk. To select a design, please move the mouse pointer to its file name and
click the left mouse button (Picture No. 1).
Note:
You can select multiple
files and write them to floppy disk at once. To select multiple designs, please move mouse pointer to the file name of the
first design in the "Files:" box at the right side of the screen, depress the
left mouse button and hold it down while moving the mouse pointer over
the file names of the other designs. When the mouse pointer is over the
last design, please release the
left mouse button.

menu into which the designs will be written (Picture No. 4). You can choose
either "Menu 1", "Menu 2", "Menu 3"
and "Menu 4", or let Embird write the designs to the first free
menu on the floppy disk.
Warning: If you have already written some
designs to Designer 1 floppy disk in Embird, you can use this disk again
(without formatting or erasing its contents) and Embird will add
selected designs to existing designs to chosen menu on this floppy disk. However, do not add
designs to floppy disks written in other software - always format or erase these
disks before using them in Embird.
