Abstract
An embroidering system includes at least one embroidering machine having plural needles supplied with threads having different colors, and a control device for transmitting an embroidery data to the at least one embroidering machine so as to selectively drive the plural needles. The embroidery data is generated and memorized in the control device prior to being transmitted to the at least one embroidering machine. The embroidery data is corrected as required. It is preferable that the embroidery data is corrected as the basis for needle numbers for the respective needles and the colors of the threads supplied to the respective needles.
Claims11
An embroidering system comprising:
- at least one embroidering machine having plural needles supplied with threads having different colors, the plural needles being identified respectively by plural needle numbers;
- and
- a control device for transmitting an embroidery data to the at least one embroidering machine so as to selectively drive the plural needles, the embroidery data generated and memorized in the control device prior to transmission thereof to the at least one embroidering machine, the embroidery data including the plural needle numbers and plural color codes for identifying a plurality of colors, each of the plural needle numbers being paired with a corresponding color code of the plural color codes,
- wherein, as required, the embroidery data is corrected such that when a first color code of the plural color codes is corrected to a specific color code, a needle number corresponding to the first color code is replaced by a needle number corresponding to the specific color code, and
- wherein one of the thread colors of the respective needles that is most similar to a color specified by the embroidery data is selected when the thread colors of the respective needles do not correspond to the color specified by the embroidery data upon correcting the embroidery data by the control device.
An embroidering system comprising:
- at least one embroidering machine having plural needles supplied with threads having different colors;
- and
- a control device for transmitting embroidery data to the at least one embroidering machine so as to selectively drive the plural needles, the embroidery data generated and memorized in the control device prior to being transmitted to the at least one embroidering machine,
- wherein the embroidery data is corrected as required, and
- wherein one of the thread colors of the respective needles, that is most similar to a color specified by the embroidery data is selected when the thread colors of the respective needles do not correspond to the color specified by the embroidery data upon correcting the embroidery data by the control device.
An embroidering system, comprising:
- at least one embroidering machine having a plurality of needles having at least two colors of thread;
- and
- a controller configured to transmit embroidery data to the at least one embroidering machine, wherein the embroidery data includes information related to selecting an alternative color when at least one of the at least two colors does not match a requirement of the embroidery data.
