This automatically removes the non-image data. F73 Creating MiniPics for the VIP Digititizing program Before Starting An appropriate image editing package, such as Jasc® Paint Shop Pro, is required that will save . ras format, as well as a good knowledge of working with graphic files. About MiniPics Create Medium MiniPics at 400x400 pixels, and Small MiniPics at 250x250 pixels. White is treated as transparent when you load a MiniPic into VIP Digitizing, so anything underneath the white part of a MiniPic will show through. If you want an area to be white in your MiniPic, use a "false white" such as very pale yellow, then change it to white with the Flood Fill tool in the Picture Window of VIP Digitizing. It is recommended that you create a new folder for saving your own MinPics, for instance: C:\VipEmbroidery\MyDesigns\MyMiniPics. Use an existing image:Open an existing image; Either crop around the required area or resize the whole image to the size of a Medium or Small MiniPic. Or, create a new MiniPic from scratch:Start a new image and set it to the size of either a medium (400x400 pixels) or small (250x250 pixels) MiniPic; Use the drawing tools in the graphic package to create the desired image for the MiniPic. Save the file in Sun Raster Image format with the ". ras" extension. Start Windows® Explorer and browse to the folder where you saved the ". ras" file. Right-click to bring up a popup menu, and select the Rename option from the menu. To find your local dealer see the Husqvarna Viking Dealer Locator [http://www. sew. husqvarna. se/dealers. htm].

Husqvarna Viking Software is made to run on a PC with Windows®95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP and we can not guarantee that our software will work on a Macintosh computer. There are ways of running PC software on MAC computers by use of emulators such as Virtual PC and Soft Windows. However, Husqvarna Viking can not support, by way of phone help or warranty, the use of our software on Macintosh computers and recommends that you purchase a standard Windows® based PC to use our embroidery systems. To use any of the Husqvarna Viking System 5 software, or previous versions, you require a parallel-port dongle and maybe the parallel-port Reader/Writer Unit, which the MAC does not usually have. Therefore you must buy a bi-directional parallel port for this purpose. If you still wish to use our software on a Macintosh computer, the following information may be of help. Please note that this DOES NOT constitute support and no support will be offered or provided for using Husqvarna Viking Software in the manner described below. PLEASE NOTE: Husqvarna Viking Software has not been tested with any Windows® emulation software on Mac OS X.

However, the following was found in regard to hardware and communications: · · The "USB Token" option is only be available in the USB section of Virtual PC when the dongle is inserted into the MAC. [. . . ] Select an embroidery file type, then try again. X27 When I print out my stitch files, the lettering for the design information does not print correctly. This may happen occasionally on Windows® 2000 and XP because of the way that information is sent to your printer. Use these instructions to change the printer settings to a standard method which is more reliable. In the Printers folder, right-click on the printer which gave the incorrect results and select Properties. Click OK to close the Print Processor dialog, then click OK to close the Printer Properties dialog. [. . . ]
