Why do the 1B2 stops occur without being setup to stop? Sometimes they happen several times.I use 1B2 for puff stuff, but not in the files where it mysteriously happens.

When programming the needles, do you sometimes program the same needle twice?  This would cause a 1B2 error.

When I'm designing I use many colors to make seeing easy and then set the colors to the same color in the machine. The 1B2 needs to be avoided. How?

"1B2" message is shown when a color changing on Tajima machines. When you make a design you use many colors so the design file has included many STOP commands. That is why when you sew the design with a Tajima machine, Tajima machine shows "1B2"( = STOP for Color changing)  

You can use many colors during making a design  for your own purpose but when finishing the design, you should unify those many colors for the final numbers of color you really use for the production.

Press B once and make sure the settings are correct - AC:o AS:o

That is the auto color change and auto start. 

So the first color sews and then the B1 sets a stop, I have tried to turn it off and I have the AC and AS settings on yes.  I've gone into my software and it doesn't show I added a stop either.  driving me nuts

My machine stops and the AcAs is on. But it doesnt do this for other machines. Why is it doing it on one but not the other?
