Purpose
- Specify the procedure of transfer.
Point
- Order of transfer: left racking with smaller racking has priority.
(L13=1)
- When specifying on the line of stitch move (color nos. 6, 7, 8, 9, etc.), transfer using slider is performed.
- When specifying on the line of transfer (color nos. 20, 21, 30, 31, etc.), loop is kept on the slider on the bed
of the opposite side. (It is called holding.)
(L13=3)
- Activates for the line with color no. of transfer (color nos. 20, 21, 30, 31, etc.). (only for the knit cancel
line)
- If having a loop with holding, knitting cannot be performed to all needles. Slider of the needle with
holding and carrier may interfere. Perform “return (L13=3)” before knit.
(e.g.) To draw the cable pattern for tubular knitting (without color nos. 4 and 5)

( NOTE 2 ) Do not specify only color no. 0 (miss) in a row. ( NOTE 3 ) The needle beds are automatically set in 1/2 pitch left position to knit single jersey and 1x1 rib and set in the 1/4 pitch left position to knit double jersey with all needle. Racking; 1/4 pitch left position Racking; 1/2 pitch left position ( NOTE 4 ) When knit & cross, knit & stitch move, and knit & transfer are ordered, knit is performed first and then transfer, stitch move and cross follow. If many kinds of racking are required for a course, smaller racking then left racking have priority. ( NOTE 5 ) Links process (transfer) is automatically performed when two adjoining courses are knitted with the different needle beds. Note that some color nos. do not perform links process (transfer). 2 Links process 1 3

CONTENTS 1 Front knit (jersey) 2 Back knit (reversed jersey) 3 Front/back knit (double jersey) Point - Links process (transfer) is automatically performed when two adjoining courses are knitted with the different needle beds. - Links process is automatically performed when using front knit or back knit color (e.g. 4, 5, 6, 7 and so on). - Front/back knit (color no. 3) is performed with the needle beds in the 1/4 pitch left position. C OLOR NO. CONTENTS 51 Front knit (without links process) 52 Back knit (without links process) Purpose Use in case of knitting without links process. C OLOR NO. CONTENTS 118 Front knit (non auto-transfer) 119 Back knit (non auto-transfer) - Use the color no. 118 together with the color nos. 32, 52, 82, and 92 on the option line L13, and use the color no. 119 together with the color nos. 31, 51, 81, and 91 on the option line L13 to knit without auto transfer process. (Knit for auto transfer) - Links process is performed with front or back line. 2) Tuck C OLOR NO.

- 11. III. COLOR NO.OF EACH KNIT METHOD 3) Miss and No Needle Selection C OLOR NO. CONTENTS 0 Miss 16 No needle selection Point The function of the color no. 16 is the same as that of the color no. 0. Do not draw only the color no. 0 in a row. Draw color no. 16 instead. C OLOR NO. CONTENTS 116 Front miss (with links process) 117 Back miss (with links process) Point - The color nos. 116 and 117 perform the links process to the front or back line. 4) Miss C OLOR NO. CONTENTS 216 Front miss (with links process) independent carrier movement 217 Back miss (with links process) independent carrier movement Purpose You can move the carrier to the desired direction regardless of the carriage direction. For example, to move the carrier away from knitting range, carriage stroke is within the knitting range when selecting independent carrier movement. To move the carrier to the opposite direction of knitting direction, carriage course to move the carrier is unnecessary when selecting independent carrier movement. Point - This color no. cannot be drawn in the same line as other color nos. (except for auto yarn feeder point) - Direction of independent carrier movement does not have relation with carriage direction. - Specify the direction of independent carrier movement on the option line R5. (See the option line R5=6 and 7) - When considering the knitting direction (carriage), independent carrier movement line is not included. - Though the last course of the pattern should be ended with left going, you do not have to include the independent carrier movement line.

- 34. V. SPECIFYING ANDFUNCTION OF OPTION LINE 7) R8: Yarn out Command C OLOR NO. CONTENTS 31 Yarn-out Purpose Normally, yarn-in and yarn-out is automatically output. Therefore, you do not have to specify. By specifying, however, you can output yarn-out in the desired course. Point - Yarn-in and yarn-out is automatically output in the following conditions: - in the course where the carrier for knitting is used for the first time. (auto yarn in) - in the course where the carrier for knitting is used for the last time. (auto yarn out) - the yarn of the carrier to be held by the yarn holding hook (auto yarn out) - in the course where the yarn end is passed between yarn inserting hook and yarn holding hook (auto yarn in / yarn out) - When using the carrier performing yarn out on purpose again, yarn in command is output automatically in the first course. - Specifying yarn out on purpose means: when passing the yarn end from yarn holding hook to yarn inserting hook, sometimes the yarn is across the yarn of the carrier which stops in the middle of the starting position of knitting depending on the carrier position. In this case, you can perform yarn out to the right end by specifying the yarn out for the carrier which stops in the middle.

- 69. VII. AUTO PROCESS YF(carrier) - Specify the carrier to be used. - Y. Hold Hook Specify the number for yarn holding hook to hold the yarn. Specifying the number here enables you to check the number for yarn holding hook on the YARN FEEDER INITIAL SETTING screen as well when you set the yarn on the knitting machine. When holding the yarn with yarn inserting hook, you do not have to specify here. - Elastic yarn advance With check mark here, elastic yarn sending roller rotates when using the corresponding carrier. In this case, specify on the option line (L14=1-31). - ACT Select to move the carrier together with carriage or independently. For the details of independent carrier movement, see “Synchronous/Independent Carrier Movement” described later. 63
- 70. VII. AUTO PROCESS Synchronous/IndependentCarrier Movement Synchronous carrier movement: moves the carrier together with the carriage. (e.g.) When the carriage moves to the left, carrier also moves to the left. Independent carrier movement: moves the carrier regardless of the carriage movement. (How to set synchronous carrier movement/independent carrier movement) Going right A B C A) From carrier stop position to auto yarn feeder set point, the setting “INDP/SYNC” for ACT in Auto Process Parameters activates. B) With needle selection inside of auto yarn feeder points, carrier moves synchronously. Only with no needle selection inside of auto yarn feeder points, you can select synchronous carrier movement or independent carrier movement with color nos. 16, 216, and 217. The setting “INDP/SYNC” for ACT in Auto Process Parameters does not activate. C) For the yarn carrier reset adjustment from auto yarn feeder point set point, carrier moves independently regardless of the setting. In the following 4 cases, data is automatically created in the auto process. 1) Color nos. for no needle selection (16, 216 and 217) and carrier preparation data No needle selection line (color nos. 16, 216, and 217) is automatically output to carrier preparation data during auto process regardless of synchronous carrier movement/independent carrier movement. Carrier preparation data address is output to control data. Synchronous Carrier Movement (Color no. 16) 1 16 3 1 R3 3 1 Color no. 16 2 CARRIER PREPARATION CA START END ACT. POSITION DIR.

START/END: Sets the position of auto yarn feeder point. ACT: Switches synchronous and independent by drawing the color no. 16, 216, or 217 in the original drawing. DIR. (Direction): Sets the direction to move the carrier. I/O: Sets the yarn in/yarn out command. 3) Timing of synchronous/independent for no needle selection (Synchronous carrier movement) Position of trail Position of leading elastic raising cam Position of elastic raising cam normal knitting - With no needle selection, carrier can be moved synchronously at the elastic raising cam position. - At the position of leading elastic raising cam/trail elastic raising cam, one carrier for each can be moved synchronously. - At the normal knitting position, maximum 2 carriers can be moved synchronously. (Independent carrier movement) Position of trail Position of leading elastic raising cam Position of elastic raising cam Carrier moves independently immediately before normal knitting processing the control block with carrier preparation data output. Maximum 6 carriers can be moved synchronously. 4) Limitation of synchronous carrier movement for transfer Auto process is performed at the available positions shown below. Transfer from hook to slider, or transfer from hook to hook Transfer from slider to hook, or transfer from hook to hook Independent carrier movement: available Independent carrier movement: not available 65
