Output to EMD Smart Media Card

Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

Use this command to write designs to an EMD Smart Media Card, either for an Elna or a Singer embroidery machine. It is assumed that you have a Smart Media Card reader attached to your PC and that this card reader works like another disk drive on your PC (e.g., drive H:).

1 - Run Embird; it will start in "Manager" mode.

2 - In the "Files:" box at the right side of the screen, select the design that you want to write to the EMD Smart Media Card. To select a design, please move the mouse pointer to its file name and click the left mouse button (Picture No. 1).

You can select multiple files: Move the 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.
