Hey guys,
Allow me to shed a little light on this subject, because it seems to be causing
some grief.
Force Download is a feature in software that is intended to used to get the
machine/software out of a "stuck" situation. It should be turned "OFF" under
normal circumstances.
You will find that when the computer and Amaya machine is booted up ( turned
on) .... whatever the last settings were in software and in the machine's
memory will "reload" themselves so that you can "pick up where you left off"
from where you were last sewing. For example: this could mean either after a
storm knocked out your power or if you have to sew 100 shirts and only finished
50 last night and plan to do the remaining 50 this morning.
If you happen to encounter a "bug" or "corrupt file", - and turning the entire
system off and then on again doesn't fix your problem, the "Force Download"
feature might be able to help. What this does is reloads from the computer to
your Amaya machine all of the essential files that were originally installed
the first time you installed software or the last time you upgraded your
software.
The downside to leaving this feature "turned on" all the time is that whatever
design you were sewing before the lights went out or whatever you were sewing
last night will not be there waiting for you when the machine finishes booting
up. Simply because those "essential files" were "Forced Downloaded" to the
machine and overwrote the files from the last time the machine was on.
If you choose to leave "Force Download" on all the time, it won't hurt
anything. But if you lose power during sewing, you will have to spend a bit
more time trying to figure out how to "pick up where you left off". And that
is another subject for a different post.
Good Luck to you;

Debbie I sure can't advise on this matter.When we got our machines the trainer
set it all up for us, what he did was in the settings tab , checked the first
one there
that is about the Force Download, which means it will force the design to
return to
the origin.

Now I've heard both opinions about force download. Some say check it, some say
don't. I read my manual again, and I was to check it when I first loaded the
OS, but I swear it says to be sure and uncheck it after the system is loaded???
Can you advise?

Yes it is on its network & computer. I'm not sure about the Force Download
being checked. Where do I find this?
