|
Setting up a USB Connection |
|
|
How to set up
a USB Connection between your PC and HAPPYLINK |
| Follow the
directions below for setting up a USB connection between your
PC and a HAPPY Voyager machine. |
1.
Download the WINZIP file below that matches your Windows
operating system. These are very small files. Open
the file using WINZIP (if you have Windows XP, you don't need
WINZIP). Extract the 2 driver files that are inside the
WINZIP file to the root C:\ directory.
2. Power on the Voyager machine. Upon
power-up, press ENT on the Voyager control panel to get to the
machine's default screen.
3. Connect a USB cable between the Voyager
machine and an available port on your PC. Do NOT
connect the USB cable to a USB hub - connect directly to a PC.
4. The Windows "New Hardware" wizard will
start automatically upon detecting the HAPPY machine.
Follow the prompts, choosing the option to "Install
driver from a specific or known location". Browse
to the location where you stored the driver files in step (1)
above and highlight the HPYUSB01.INF or HPYUSB02.INF file and
continue. These steps should successfully set up the USB
connection.
5. Note: Perform these steps before starting
HAPPYLINK. Once the steps are completed, start
HAPPYLINK and go to File: Options and choose the USB
connection as well as correct options for the rest of the
page. |

Setting up a Serial Connection |
|
|
How to set up
a Serial connection between your PC and HAPPYLINK |
| Below are a
document contains the complete steps for setting up a
serial connection in between your PC and the HCS Voyager
machine using a serial cable. |
1.
Find a PC with a serial port. This is a 9-pin port
on the back of your PC that has 2 rows of pins, 5 in the first
row, 4 in the second. Test-fit the off-white serial
cable that came with your Voyager machine.
2. Install the latest version of HAPPYLINK as came
with your Voyager machine.
3. Set up HAPPYLINK for a serial
connection. To do so, go to (1) File: Options, choose
RS-232 for connection type. Also choose in the same
screen "Compatible with HAPPYLINK", 12 needles, and
No Borer if you're connecting to a Voyager machine. Then go to
(2) File:Port Settings and choose the COM port you wish to
use and speed. If unsure, choose COM1 and a speed of
38,400kbps.
4. Set up the COM port in your PC by going to the
Windows Device Manager. In the Device Manager, find the
COM port settings under Ports (COM & LPT) and choose a
port # and speed to match what you did in step (3) above.
5. Set up the transmission speed in Voyager.
Go to the Create menu in Voyager and change the 232C speed to
match the speed you chose in steps (3) and (4) above.
6. Try sending a design. You should be set
up following steps 1-5 above. Try opening a design in
HAPPYLINK and sending it across, trying the different options
available in the program.. |

Transferring
Designs Using a Flash card |
|
|
|
|
Using Flash-type memory cards (the
same kind found in many digital cameras) is a fast, convenient way
to transfer designs into the Voyager machine. |
|

Question
and Answer |
|
|
Illustrated Guide |
|
|
|
|
What
types of cards work? |
|
The
newest versions of Voyager (Generation 3 and color LCD) can employ 3 types of
Flash memory: CompactFlash, Memory Stick, and
SmartMedia.
There are no known issues with any particular brands.
. |
|
|
Are
there any card memory size limitations? |
|
While
we have seen cards up to 1Gb (1024Mb) work well, the official
recommendation is 256Mb max, which is still large enough to hold
thousands of average and large sized designs. |
|
|
What
types of cards work on older Voyager machines? |
|
All versions of HAPPY's Voyager can read Sandisk(TM) brand CompactFlash cards.
. |
|
|
What else do I need besides a FLASH card?
|
|
You'll
need a PCMCIA adapter "sleeve" that the card fits
into. This adapter "sleeve" allows the card to be
inserted into the type of removable card slot found in laptops,
which is the kind of slot on the side of the Voyager control panel
where the card must be inserted. (note, the card CAN be
inserted and/or removed while the machine is powered on and while
sewing - just don't do this while a design is being transferred!) |

Question and Answer |
|
|
Centering the Design in the Hoop |
|
The
design should sew in the center of the hoop by default.
However, if you've been moving the hoop around and are no longer
sure if this is the case, follow this simple procedure:
1. Hold the MENU key continuously until the menu
changes to display
the 4 options: ORG TOP CNT POS.
2. Press the arrow button corresponding to the
CNT button (the down
arrow). The pantograph should move to center.
If the center
is off, re-start the machine.
3. With the pantograph positioned back on-center,
repeat step (1) above,
then press the button associated with TOP.
This will
move the design center to the current pantograph position,
which in this case is center, and also move
the sewing
position to the first stitch.
. |
|
|
Sewing the design in a position off-center in the Hoop |
|
|
Moving the Design
Off-Center |
Use
the arrow keys combined with the ENT key to position the pantograph
(based on the position of the presser foot) to where you wish the
design's center to be in the hoop's sewing area. Then, press
and hold MENU continuously until the 4 options ORG, TOP, CNT,
and
POS appear. Press the button corresponding to TOP. This will
move the design center to the area under the presser foot.

Using the Cap
Frame System |
|
|
|
|
|
Voyager has an excellent cap frame
system, especially considering that Voyager was produced to be
lightweight and compact. Newer versions of HCS Voyager can
even employ the same wide-field cap frame that is used on the large
commercial HAPPY machines! |

on the Wide Cap Framee (Note: Max cap field width approx. 275 mm.) |
1. Align center seam on center mark.
2. Sweat band should be unfolded and placed under
center mark plate.
3. Strap: Make sure teeth grip the seam all the way where the base meets the riser. If sewing on the sides, make sure the sides are grabbed by the teeth as well. Use free hand to hold back end of cap downwards.
4. Snap buckle into place. Note: Be ready-cap
will often shift towards buckle as buckle is closed, pushing
center seam off alignment. Compensate BEFORE closing
buckle.
5. Attach clips on rear of cap, pulling cap material
taut (but not overly tight). |

Question and Solution |

|
Oiling your
Voyager Machine |
|
|
Daily
Oiling |
| Your Voyager
machine needs daily oiling in one place - a small
"gutter" along the outer edge of the bobbin case
"basket" just inside the rotary hook. Place 1 drop
of sewing machine oil in this location once every 8 hours that
the machine is run. It is just as important to not
over-oil your machine, also - so if you don't run your machine
much, you won't have to oil it daily. Just follow the
8-hour rule. |
To find the place to oil, open the
rotary hook door (beneath the needle plate on the sewing arm)
and remove the bobbin and bobbin case. You'll see the
front face of the rotary hook, as shown in the illustration on
the right. Place 1 drop of oil in the "gutter"
or "race" of the hook,
which is indicated by the red arrow on the right.

Retaining Finger
Adjustment |
|
|
Adjusting the
Retaining Finger |
|
The
retaining finger is a metal bar approx. 1.5” in length with
a small stub along its inside center. The center stub serves to
hold the bobbin case in place as the rotary hook spins around
it. The retaining finger rarely comes out of adjustment on its
own and mis-alignment is more often after work has been done in
the hook/bobbin area. A mis-aligned retaining finger can
cause the bobbin case to slip and rotate out of place, or
prevent stitches from forming at all. Follow these directions
for correct adjustment. Beforehand, use the offset screwdriver
that came with your toolkit to remove the needle plate. |

Replacing a Needle |
|
|
Replacing Needles |
|
Learn how to
replace needles not just to replace them as they break, but also
to change them on a regular basis, especially if you rung your
machine a lot. Needles are subject to wear that can over
time hurt sewing quality, or most commonly, cause more un-wanted
thread breaks. Follow these steps for replacing a needle
on your embroidery machine: |
1.
Remove the old needle by loosening the retaining screw
at the top with a small flat-head
screwdriver, just enough that you can slide the needle down and
out of the needle holder assembly with your fingers. If
you're replacing a broken needle, be sure to remove all of the
remaining "bits" of needle that may have broken off and fallen
either into the garment or under the needle plate. These
small pieces of metal can scar the needle plate, sewing hook and
other surfaces, causing thread breaks and even further needle
breaks.
2. Insert the new needle as far up as it can go into
the needle holder assembly. If you didn't loosen the
screw too much when you removed the original needle, it should
just hold the needle in place as it hangs from the assembly.
Don't tighten the screw fully until the next step.
3. Rotate the needle so that it is properly aligned.
See the diagram below: the raised ridge or groove
should be facing front, and the cut-out around the eye (called
the "scarf") should be facing backwards. THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT. If not done properly, the machine will not sew
stitches on that needle, at worst, or constantly break thread.
4. Tighten the screw carefully without moving the
needle out of alignment. You can visually check that
the needle is inserted all the way by comparing the height of
the tip against the other needles on the machine.
NOTE: If you continue to have thread breaks with the new
needle after replacing, check to see that the needle is aligned
properly, or, if the thread is fraying, check to see if any of
the sewing surfaces were "burred" or "scarred" from the broken
needle, and be ready with emery cloth or abrasive cord to smooth
away the sewing surfaces such as the hole on the needle plate,
the presser foot, rotary hook surfaces, and any other surfaces
that may have come in contact with the broken needle. |

Windows crashes when sending files through USB. |
In
99% of the cases, this is caused by an incorrect USB driver
installed for your machine.Setting up the USB connection from your PC to
the HCS Voyager machine requires 2 driver files. There
is a set of 2 driver files for Windows 98, and a set of 2
drivers files for computers with Windows 2000, Windows XP, or
Windows Vista.
The files are as follows:
Windows 98 Driver files: hpyusb01.inf,
hpyusb01.sys
Windows XP, 2000, and Vista Driver files: hpyusb02.inf,
hpyusb02.sys
To fix this problem, do a search for all files named "hpyusb"
using Start..Search... etc. Make sure you enable the
options to search hidden files, system files, and subfolders,
and search all of your local disk C:\. Delete all files,
then re-download the XP drivers from the Help Files section
above.

|
|
|
I have the
correct Flash card but Voyager isn't reading any designs on
the card. |
Make sure of
the following: that (1) the card is formatted in FAT and
not FAT32; (2) that none of your designs are located in
any sub-folders within the card; and finally (3) Ensure that
after saving designs to the flash card from PC, that you Stop
the card from the Stop Hardware icon in the bottom-right
corner of your Windows screen (next to the clock).
Failure to do so may cause the design not to save at all to
the card.

Fixing
thread breaks
|
|
|
Basic thread
Break Fix |
Follow this
short procedure to clear a thread break. (Note: this
procedure does not address troubleshooting the cause of the
break, only to teach how to re-thread and continue
sewing. Problem may re-occur without proper
troubleshooting.
1. Press T.CUT to cut thread still attached to garment
2. Repair thread break by re-threading upper
thread or replacing bobbin.
3. Press or press and hold STOP to move sewing
position to just before the break
4. Press START to continue sewing.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting
Thread Breaks |
Follow this
procedure to troubleshoot thread breaks:
| 1. |
Bobbin . Check to see if the upper
thread is actually broken. If it isn't, and the bobbin has not been
changed for a while, check bobbin and replace. A remote possibility may be
that the thread break sensor is defective for that needle, but this is the
least likely of the causes listed here. |
| 2. |
Thread Path. If upper thread is
actually broken, check carefully along the entire thread path
to make sure that needle is threaded correctly. Pull
the thread through the needle
and ensure the thread pulls smoothly through the
entire thread path. There
is an excellent diagram in your manual on how the thread should flow
through the tensioners, grommets, etc from thread cone down to the needle. |
| 3. |
Design or thread. If the thread path
appears correct and the thread seems to be pulling smoothly,
and this still doesn't solve the problem, check to see if
the break seems to be
occurring in either (a) the same point in a given design, [i.e. poor digitizing] or
(b) with that particular thread [old or otherwise inferior thread will be more
brittle than newer/quality thread]. |
| 4. |
Needle depth/proper needle orientation.
Did you know that the needle MUST be installed in a
specific way? The long groove must be facing forward, and the scarf (cutout
section behind the eye) must be facing directly backwards. Incorrect
needle depth is also a cause (i.e. was the needle inserted all the way into
place? Does the depth appear correct compared to the position of the rest of
the needles?). Check your manual for the procedure to set needle depth for
the ultimate procedure. Also, check to ensure that the needle is entering
the hole in the needle plate in the center or close enough to the center that it
isn't physically contacting the needle. |
| 5. |
Check for burred/jagged surfaces. The
normal wear of sewing operations can cause surfaces that the
thread contacts to become damaged/jagged. Check the following
places. Crocus (abrasive) cord or a very fine grit
sanding cloth or sandpaper, which can be purchased
at any hardware store, can be used to polish away the
burred/uneven surface.. |
| |
a. Surface of the rotary hook (diagrams will follow)
b. Needle plate - ensure that the edges of the hole are
smooth
c. Damaged needle - when in doubt, replace the needle,
inserting as shown in (4) above. |

Main
shaft error |
Main shaft will not
turn. |
Turn main shaft
manually to verify full movement through complete 360 degree
turn. Troubleshoot for anything that may block this motion
i.e. jam at rotary hook shaft, needle bar, etc. Also
re-initialize system, speed from MENU: OTHER. |

Needle
Detect |
Machine not
detecting current needle # correctly, or needle bar selection unit
is off its stop position. Trouble with position-detecting
circuit board. |
(1) Attempt to clear by using needle
select buttons to move the head to an adjacent needle, then back
again. (2) Failing that, Turn needle bar selector with 3mm hex
wrench (or on Gen III Voyager machines, with large thumbscrews) to
have it set at center of fixed position (range within which needle bar
selector doesn't move). Align red arrows with indicator sticker on case.
1/2 turn = one full color change position. (3)
Failing that, follow procedure in Maintenance Manual to correct
this. You'll need to re-start machine in Maintenance Mode and
go to OTHER: MAINTE (enter code): MACHINE: and options (D), (E)
and (F). |
