Ok, I think I get it now. I have the same set up. There was paper that came with the scanner. I would have to find it and see if it is anything special. ( haven't used this in many years.) Also there was a special pen that went with it. You had to trace your picture in layers with the pen on the paper and then scan the traced paper, layer by layer. The scanner reads the traced images not the origional picture. See if the person you bought this from still has the book that goes with the scanner. It explains all this. There is sort of a skill to this process. I used to use mine some, but I will tell you it is easier said than done. Especially if what you want to embroider has a lot of detail. If I remember it correctly, you can't lift the pen off the paper. This is part of why you have to do it in layers. You also have to assign stitches to the design. You do this in the scanner. If you didn't get the book, you need it, it walks you through the process step by step. When I bought mine, I thought I could just scann an immage and wala it would write to the card and I could sew it out. Not so. If you need more help let me know. If needed I will look for my book and see if I see anything special in it, and if there is anything unique to the pen you use. If I remember correctly, it was sort of a yellow pen that was hard to see on the paper. As you can tell, I haven't used it in years.
