Reconnect Machine

Press the Reconnect Machine button to reestablish

communications between the Pro-Stitcher and the

quilting machine. If the Pro-Stitcher computer ever

boots up with the quilting machine turned off, the

two systems will not be communicating with each

other when the quilting machine is later turned

on. The Reconnect Machine button will attempt

to reconnect the Pro-Stitcher with the quilting

machine. A simple way to test whether the two

systems are communicating is to press the Full

Stitch button at the top of the Pro-Stitcher screen. If

they are connected, the quilting machine will cycle

the needle. If they are not communicating, nothing

will happen. If the Pro-Stitcher computer can detect

that it is not communicating with the quilting

machine, a lightning bolt icon will appear in the top

left-hand corner of the Pro-Stitcher screen. Pressing

that button will perform the same function as the

Reconnect Machine button.

If the touch screen is not calibrated properly, the

cursor will not move to the point that the quilter

is touching on the Pro-Stitcher computer screen.

Resolve this by recalibrating the touch screen.

Press the Calibrate button and follow the onscreen

calibration instructions. If calibration is so far off

that the Calibrate button cannot be pressed, plug

the Acer keyboard/mouse into a USB port on the

computer using the provided USB extension cable

and use the mouse controller built into the keyboard

to click on the Calibrate button. Most other USB

mice will also work for this as well.

This option shows version information for the

Pro-Stitcher software.

Shut Down

About

Shut Down

Three shutdown options are available on the Shut

Down menu (Figure 8.13).

Shutdown

This button forces the Pro-Stitcher computer to

close all running software and power down the

computer. A quilter should do a full shutdown

when finished running the Pro-Stitcher.

Reboot

Reboot causes the Pro-Stitcher computer to

completely shut down and then start up again. If

a quilter suspects there may be computer-related

issues interfering with the Pro-Stitcher, rebooting

the computer often will help.

Exit to Windows

At times it may be necessary to close down the

Pro-Stitcher software and use the standard Windows 7

operating system. Press Exit to Windows to leave

the computer in a standard Windows 7 desktop

environment. To restart the Pro-Stitcher software,

locate the Pro-Stitcher shortcut icon on the desktop

and double-tap it.
