REPORT Feature on HAPPY machines Boosts Operator Awareness
The built-in REPORT feature, found on all current-model HAPPY embroidery machines, provides operators with easy access to information about the performance about their machines. The information helps owners, managers, and operators keep track of how productive their machines are – even breaking that information down by individual operator if desired – and tracks errors and faults to simplify maintenance. As an added bonus, these reports can be transferred – with a single button-press – to a USB thumb drive so they can be saved or analyzed elsewhere (in a management office, or in the comfort of your home on a laptop – or even emailed to a technician to help in troubleshooting.
Accessed directly from the main menu, operators can press the REPORT button shown above, which opens to the button menu shown to its right, giving 4 categories of useful information.
- General production information
- Detailed production information
- Thread break report
- Error message report

Error Message Report
The Error Message report shows not only thread breaks but other error messages.

The error report has 2 report modes:
In the first mode, error codes are listed in order of their occurrence:
