II. FUNCTION OF EACH COLOR

II. FUNCTION OF EACH COLOR

Notes for Specifying Color Nos.

( NOTE 1 ) A knit line implies a carriage traverse (one way).

( 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 1x1rib and set in the 1/4 pitch left position to knit double jersey with all needle.

( NOTE 4 ) When knit & cross, knit & stitch move, and knit & transfer are ordered, knit is performedfirst and then transfer, stitch move and cross follow.If many kinds of racking are required for a course, smaller racking then left racking havepriority.

( NOTE 5 ) Links process (transfer) is automatically performed when two adjoining courses are knittedwith the different needle beds. Note that some color nos. do not perform links process(transfer).

III. COLOR NO. OF EACH KNIT METHOD


1) Knit

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.

PurposeUse in case of knitting without links process.

- Use the color no. 118 together with the color nos. 32, 52, 82, and 92 on the option line L13, and usethe color no. 119 together with the color nos. 31, 51, 81, and 91 on the option line L13 to knit withoutauto transfer process. (Knit for auto transfer)

- Links process is performed with front or back line.

2) Tuck

Point- Do not specify the color nos. 11 and 12 or 111 and 112 in the same row.- The color nos. 41, 42 and 88 are performed with the needle beds in 1/4 pitch left position.

3) Miss and No Needle Selection

PointThe 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.

Point- The color nos. 116 and 117 perform the links process to the front or back line.

4) Miss

PurposeYou can move the carrier to the desired direction regardless of the carriage direction. For example, tomove the carrier away from knitting range, carriage stroke is within the knitting range when selectingindependent 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 notincluded.- Though the last course of the pattern should be ended with left going, you do not have to include theindependent carrier movement line.

For the details of independent carrier movement, see “Synchronous/Independent Carrier Movement”described later.

6) Cross (cable)

The color nos. for a cable pattern are shown below.To make cross, these colors must be specified in pairs.Cross pairs and racking are automatically made up by color nos. and the no. of dots.

A) Front stitch cross Cross of front stitchesB) Front and back stitch cross Cross of front stitches and back stitchesC) Relief knit Knitting technique to make cross easilyD) Special technique to cross the cable Knitting technique to insert the relief knit in the middle

of cross.

A) Front stitch crossA) Front stitch crossA) Front stitch crossA) Front stitch crossA) Front stitch cross

PurposeCross of front stitches.

Point- The color nos. 14 and 15 are used for distinction of adjoining cross pairs.- Color no. 1 or 2 can be specified between cross pair colors.- There are 2 types of cross: Right cross (right stitches come upside) and left cross (left stitches come

upside). Right cross and left cross can be replaced by exchanging color nos.

- Draw the color no. 150 to connect the color no. 4 and color no. 4 or color no. 5 and color no. 5 with 1x1knitting.

PurposeTo make cross easily, relief knit is performed before cross. Relief knit is automatically performed wheneither of the cross pair has 3 or more pitch racking.

Point- When a stitch is inserted in the cross, relief knit is automatically performed even for 2 x 2 cable

because racking is 3 pitch.- Relief knit is not automatically performed for 2 x 2 cable. When relief knit is required for 2 x 2 cable,

a knit line is necessary under color no. 4, and knit cancel command on the line R5 has to be specifiedin the same row as cross. (See “R5: Knit Cancel Command” for details.)

7) R8: Yarn out Command

PurposeNormally, 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 outputautomatically 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 isacross the yarn of the carrier which stops in the middle of the starting position of knitting dependingon the carrier position. In this case, you can perform yarn out to the right end by specifying the yarnout for the carrier which stops in the middle.

10) R11: Fabric Presser Command

PurposePrevents the loops from moving upward together with the needles.It may be effective when using on the tubular part after knitting the set up.

Point- Front fabric presser is attached on the front carriage. Back fabric presser is moved by using the same

rail as yarn inserting hook. Therefore, back fabric presser cannot be used while yarn inserting hook isused.

- Once the back fabric presser is used, it moves together with the carriage until yarn inserting hook isused or up to the end of the pattern.

- Front fabric presser and back fabric presser cannot be output simultaneously.Considering the following conditions, fabric presser is output with auto process in case of transferand split stitch.

11) R13: Stitch Range Command

PurposeUse this command to change the stitch value in the specified range gradually. By using this command,you do not have to specify with changing the stitch address (R6) for every course.

Point(1 or 2)- Use 1 and 2 to distinguish each range when 2 ranges are adjacent.- The address specified for option line R6 of the first line of the specified range becomes the startingaddress.

- The address specified for option line R6 of the last line of the specified range becomes the endingaddress.

- The specification of R6 of the lines except for the first and last line is ignored.- The specification is ignored even if specified on the knit cancel line.- Considering the economizer no. (R1), it is output with auto process to the corresponding courses in thespecified range.

(+10)- Specify in the range specified with 1 or 2. With the specification 1, specify 11. With the specification 2,specify 12.

- Specify the range to change the stitch value within the specified range.- Without +10 specification, process is performed with unit of 2 courses on the controller.

(e.g.)Knitting starts with stitch value set on R6 stitch address 5 on the starting line in the specified range,and ends with stitch value set on R6 stitch address 3 on the ending line in the specified range. Courseno. within the specified range is automatically calculated. Stitch value changes with unit of 4 coursesaccording to the specification of R13=11.

If changing the jump economizer no. specified in the line with stitch range on the controller, stitch maynot be changed correctly in the specified range because the course no. in the stitch range and actualcourse no. are different.

PointIt may seem to be difficult to draw the pattern on the position before racking. However, when using thepattern position front / back, drawing becomes easier. (The needle selection of the reference side shouldbe drawn on the position before racking.)

e.g. 5

- The pattern can be drawn on the normal position because the racking is not performed on the frontbed.

- The racking is performed on the back bed, however, the pattern can be drawn referring to the sameposition as the needle selection of the front bed with the pattern position front command.

e.g. 7

- Even if drawing “L4=10 Racking left Pat. Pos. Front”, the pattern can be drawn referring to the sameposition as the needle selection on the front bed.

e.g. 8

- The reference position of the pattern is the back bed because of inputting “L4=20 Racking left Pat. Pos.Back”. And the needle selection on the front bed is slid to the left side by 2 pitch because the back bed isslid to the left side by 2 pitch.

e.g. 9

- “L4=20 Racking left Pat. Pos. Back” is input. Without this command, procedure of drawing is the same.(Needle selection on the reference bed side should be drawn on the position before racking.)

Yarn reset adjustment

PurposeSpecifies the yarn reset page to decide the stop position of carrier based on auto yarn feeder point.

Point- This is continuous command.- Without any specification, yarn carrier reset adjustment page 1 is used.- Yarn carrier reset adjustment page 7 is automatically used when using yarn inserting hook. After

using the yarn inserting hook, return to the original page before using yarn inserting hook.

Stop command

PurposeThe specification stops the carriage before the process of the row.

Point- Optional stop command needs restarting operation of the knitting machine.- Pause command automatically restarts knitting. The stopping time of pause 1, 2 and 3 is 0.5 second,

1.0 second and 1.5 seconds respectively.

19) L13: Transfer, Holding Command

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)

Synchronous/Independent Carrier 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)

A) From carrier stop position to auto yarn feeder set point, the setting “INDP/SYNC” for ACT in AutoProcess 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 carriermovement 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 independentlyregardless 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 dataNo needle selection line (color nos. 16, 216, and 217) is automatically output to carrier preparation dataduring auto process regardless of synchronous carrier movement/independent carrier movement.
