DIGITIZING & FILE PREPARATION
File Preparation Checklist Before Loading a Design
The short answer
Before loading a design, confirm the final dimensions, stitch count, color sequence, trims and jumps, start point, orientation, field fit, material setup, approved filename and supported format. FUJA machines mainly accept DSB and DST; transfer by USB or WiFi should happen only after the production file passes these checks.
Version and approval status
Compatibility cannot be inferred from a similar model name. For version and approval status, separate the machine identity, controller revision, included equipment, software or document version and the date on which the change became effective.
For version and approval status, classify the change by its operational effect. Safety and service changes need an approved technical route, software changes need compatibility and recovery checks, and accessory changes need exact fit confirmation. If the affected serial range or revision is unknown, leave the item open rather than applying the update by assumption.
- Name the exact model and revision
- Record what changed and what remains compatible
- Link the update to the current document or support route
Dimensions and field fit
Usable area changes with the product and the way it is held. For dimensions and field fit, check the required design size together with frame boundaries, needle path, product movement, clearance and repeatable loading.
When checking dimensions and field fit, measure the largest recurring job and the hardest recurring product separately. A large flat field may solve jacket backs or panels but may not solve caps, tubular products or awkward access. Ask for a representative setup and sample using the intended holding method before accepting a field claim.
- Measure the recurring design and finished placement
- Identify the exact hoop, frame or support method
- Check product access and clearance with a representative setup
Stitch and color review
Begin stitch and color review with the buyer's recurring products, materials, design requirements, order pattern, site and support needs. A specification becomes useful only when it can be connected to that work and to an observable result.
For stitch and color review, separate confirmed requirements from preferences and unresolved conditions. Carry each open item into the document review, representative sample, demonstration, quotation or FUJA technical request instead of treating a confident statement as proof.
- Describe the recurring work
- Confirm the relevant model and configuration
- Record the condition that still needs verification
Start point and orientation
Begin starting point and orientation with the buyer's recurring products, materials, design requirements, order pattern, site and support needs. A specification becomes useful only when it can be connected to that work and to an observable result.
When starting point and orientation, separate confirmed requirements from preferences and unresolved conditions. Carry each open item into the document review, representative sample, demonstration, quotation or FUJA technical request instead of treating a confident statement as proof.
- Describe the recurring work
- Confirm the relevant model and configuration
- Record the condition that still needs verification
Export to DSB/DST
A controller should be judged by the complete operator task, not by screen size or the number of menu functions. For export to DSB/DST, follow the path from the approved design file through import, size and color review, start point, field fit, transfer confirmation, backup and recovery.
For export to DSB/DST, the confirmed FUJA baseline is limited to the following facts. FUJA machines mainly support DSB and DST embroidery files. Confirmed transfer options include USB and WiFi, and USB export is supported. The operating interface supports 18 languages. This does not mean human support is available in 18 languages. These points do not establish the menu path, software version or recovery procedure for every controller revision, so those details remain subject to model specific documentation.
- Record the controller and software revision
- Keep the approved source file and exported production file
- Verify the screen result before releasing the job
Transfer, sample and release
The useful question for transfer, sample and release is whether the exact controller and software revision can complete the required file workflow without an unverified conversion or recovery step. Record the source file, exported file, dimensions, stitch data, transfer route and the result shown on screen.

Frequently asked questions
Which file and transfer facts are already confirmed for FUJA machines?
FUJA machines mainly support DSB and DST embroidery files. Confirmed transfer options include USB and WiFi, and USB export is supported. The exact controller and software revision still needs to be matched to the operating procedure.
What information should be prepared for FUJA?
Before requesting advice on File Preparation Checklist Before Loading a Design, prepare the products and materials, regular and maximum design size, repeated quantity, changeover pattern, site, power, destination, machine or configuration being considered and the support question that still needs a written answer.
