USB Embroidery Readers on Tajima and Melco Machines

2010-05-07T10:34:00.000-07:00

We have recently upgraded Tajima TME HC, Tajima TME DC, and MELCO EMC machines to read USB drives, changing the floppy drive these embroidery machines come with. In the case of the TME HC machines we installed the serial port USB drive.

The results are excellent. All the machines work fine with the USB drives installed. The installation is very simple, basically plug-and-play. There is no need for a technician to go to your company to install the drive. You can do it for your self, just plug, and load the designs, as simple as that.
