==History, origin and sales==
==History, origin and sales==
<!--
Toyota started manufacturing multineedle embroidery machines in the early 1990's
The Tajima embroidery machine company rose to popularity in the United States between the very late 1980s and the very early 1990s.  The early model Tajimas produced till around 1996 had a greenish color scheme. Around 1996, Tajima machines changed from the light green color scheme (with dark green logo) to their more common white color scheme with a green, pink and blue logo. Tajima, along with Barudan of Japan, became a top two embroidery machine maker in the USA.  Both Barudan and Tajima continue to be the two leading makers of embroidery machines for the United States market.


Tajima continues to lead sales in most of the west and south of the USA whereas Barudan leads sales in the north and eastMost of the rest of the United States is evenly divided among the two major embroidery machines (Tajima and Barudan).  Tajimas are more commonly seen around Mexico and most of Central America whereas Barudan tends to lead sales in countries such as Colombia, Peru, Venezuela.  Countries such as Argentina, Canada, Brazil, and Chile are divided among both Tajima and Barudan for popularity rights.-->
Toyota has never had a multihead modelToyota was one of the first commercial embroidery machines to be small enough to be portable yet large enough for industrial embroidery jobs.


Tajimas machines original ran off paper punch cards from the 1970s till the 1980s when they were replaced by paper tapePaper tape was soon replaced by floppy drives.  Most all Tajima machines today are now run off USB drives.
Due to its size, it was very popular for traveling embroidery companies, malls, small shops and small home commercial embroidery businesses.
 
The Toyota embroidery machine was bought by the [[Tajima]] company and has since not been produced.  Tajima has released their version of the Toyota under the name Expert.
 
The Tajima NEO is very similar to the last Toyota model produces, the Toyota 9100The Tajima embroidery machine company used most of the Toyota 9100 in designing their NEO.
 
The Tajima NEO is the only true portable machine by Tajima and was partially designed by Toyota.

In 1990 Tajima released the TME-HC series embroidery machine.  The TME-HC did not come with a floppy disk drive and only came with ports for external readers such as an external paper tape reader or Floppy Drive.  The machine came in options of 4,6, 12, 15 or 20 heads.  The machine only had manually removable table tops (nothing automatic).  The machine was only available as 6 or 9 needles.

====1990-1992====
The 820 series was the second multineedle embroidery machine released by Toyota.  The Toyota 820 was a 6 needle single head embroidery machine.  The machine was the first Toyota to have a removable table top to use the tubular [[Embroidery Machine Accessories|embroidery accessory]] and the first Toyota machine with a cap system.
In 1990 Tajima released their first TME-HC model.  The original HC models had mechanical thread break detectors that ran off a mechanical cam system. When the machine made a color change, the lob of the cam would physically close the thread break detection circuit.  The HC models from this era had pretension knobs apart from the heads located in front of the mechanical thread break detection system.

The cap system on this machine had a separate motor that connected to the machines base.
====1993-1994====
 
The TME-HC machines released after 1992 came with standard [[DU-10]] power boxes for the X and Y card.  Each head was equipped with individual thread break boards and sensors, replacing the original HC design.  The machines from this era looked much more like their predecessor, the TME-DC.  The last TME-HC machine was produced in 1994.
The machine remained to look very similar to the earlier 800 model but with a few small visual changes like the base color.

The Tajima TMFX model has been one of the longest produced models of the Tajima embroidery machine series.
{{for|the Tajima TMFX machine electronics info|Tajima TMFX Electronics}}
''For the Tajima TMFX user manual see [http://www.plrelectronics.com/lab/Tajima/Manual/tajima_tmfx_instructions.php Tajima TMFX User Manual]''
Tajima claims the TMEX-C machine was The World First with Wide Cap Frame.  ''"The WORLD FIRST!  The wide cap frame drastically expands your embroidery repertoire to include everything from designs on the front of the cap to designs that extends to the wide panels.  It opens up unlimited possibilities for creative cap embroidery and for significant imporments in added value."''


A very small percentage (less than 5%) of the TMFX and TMEX machines used narrow height floppy disk drives.  The narrow height floppy disk drives have long been discontinued.  Only regular sized floppy drives and floppy to USB drives can be used to replace the old 3 1/2 floppy drives on these machines.  This means a very few amount of the TMFX control panels must be slight enlarged at the floppy drive port when accommodating these newer style drives.
{{for|the Toyota 820A/830 machine electronics info|Toyota 820A/830 Electronics}}


The Tajima TMFX and TMEX share very similar, almost identical, control panels.
The Toyota 820A is a 6 needle machine and the Toyota 830 is a 9 needle machine.  Otherwise, the two single head machines were identical.  The machines did not come with disk drives however a very rare amount of external disk drives we sold.  The machines have a 25 pin serial port that most operators used to connect directly to their PCs to transfer their data designs.  Special software is needed to transfer the designs directly to the machine.  The [[Embroidery Black Box|Black Box]] is also a solution to read designs from a USB stick directly into the machine.  


====1990-20xx====
The 820A and 830 were redesigned and upgraded from the previous 820 modelA much more sleek control panel was used and the machine came with the ability to store more that one design at a time.
In 1990 Tajima released the TMFX series embroidery machine.  The TMFX models came in both single head and multi-head versionsThe first TMFX model was the TMFX-C901 model which was a nine needle single head embroidery machine.  The machine had automatic color change and automatic trimmers.  The single head and dual head models both had removable bases.  


====1995====
Although the 820A has '820' in its model, the 820A is very different from the 820 model.
In 1995 Tajima released the TMEX-C embroidery machine.  The TMEX-C was designed to replace the single head TMFX model.


Tajima only used the TMFX model as a single head for a very short period.  The single head was then commonly known as the TMEX-C machine which was basically a one head version of the TMFX.
The 820A and 830 did not use the cap system with the motor used by the 820 but instead used an all mechanical version.

Toyota is a manufacturer of single head embroidery machines. The Toyota embroidery machine company is based out of Japan. Toyota is one of the most well-known single head brands in embroidery machine manufacturing.

Toyota has never produced a multihead embroidery machine.

History, origin and sales

Toyota started manufacturing multineedle embroidery machines in the early 1990's

Toyota has never had a multihead model. Toyota was one of the first commercial embroidery machines to be small enough to be portable yet large enough for industrial embroidery jobs.

Due to its size, it was very popular for traveling embroidery companies, malls, small shops and small home commercial embroidery businesses.

The Toyota embroidery machine was bought by the Tajima company and has since not been produced. Tajima has released their version of the Toyota under the name Expert.

The Tajima NEO is very similar to the last Toyota model produces, the Toyota 9100. The Tajima embroidery machine company used most of the Toyota 9100 in designing their NEO.

The Tajima NEO is the only true portable machine by Tajima and was partially designed by Toyota.

Other Equipment

Toyota does not produce any other embroidery related products

Software Extensions

Tajima DST (.dst) is the most common software extension for Toyota software and machines. However, Toyota uses several other embroidery software formats. Tajima DST is the most common embroidery format found.

Embroidery Machines

820 Series

{{#invoke:Infobox|infobox}}

The 820 series was the second multineedle embroidery machine released by Toyota. The Toyota 820 was a 6 needle single head embroidery machine. The machine was the first Toyota to have a removable table top to use the tubular embroidery accessory and the first Toyota machine with a cap system.

The cap system on this machine had a separate motor that connected to the machines base.

The machine remained to look very similar to the earlier 800 model but with a few small visual changes like the base color.

The Toyota 820A is a 6 needle machine and the Toyota 830 is a 9 needle machine. Otherwise, the two single head machines were identical. The machines did not come with disk drives however a very rare amount of external disk drives we sold. The machines have a 25 pin serial port that most operators used to connect directly to their PCs to transfer their data designs. Special software is needed to transfer the designs directly to the machine. The Black Box is also a solution to read designs from a USB stick directly into the machine.

The 820A and 830 were redesigned and upgraded from the previous 820 model. A much more sleek control panel was used and the machine came with the ability to store more that one design at a time.

Although the 820A has '820' in its model, the 820A is very different from the 820 model.

The 820A and 830 did not use the cap system with the motor used by the 820 but instead used an all mechanical version.

Buying

Toyota embroidery machines are probably one of the best machines on the market. They are more expensive that most all competing models but, they are very solidly built and have a good resell market. There are a lot of embroidery machine technicians available world wide and parts are pretty easy to find even for older models.

Selling

TheEmbroideryWarehouse buys and sells most every make and model of Toyota embroidery machines located within the continental USA. They also purchase parts, parts machines, salvage machines and most everything else related to embroidery equipment.
