This article applies to most versions of Sierra software.

When you export your design as a stitch file (DST, EXP, 10o, PES, JEF, etc), the Embroidery Explorer module of your Sierra software performs a series of functions in the background to prepare your design for embroidery.

If you export designs to your floppy, the default code of your floppy drive should match the stitch file format of your designs.

To set or change the default code of your floppy drive: open Embroidery Explorer >> locate the Floppy Drive on the list of drives >> right-click >> Change Default Code To >> the format of your choice.  The picture below shows how to set the default code to Tajima.

Once you set the default code of your Floppy Drive, this format will show next to the Floppy Drive icon on your list of drives (see below).
