newjeepgreen I'm a bit confused, because embroidery machines have nothing to do with printing, they sew embroidery designs. So I gather both of you are new to this hobby and will assume you are not talking about a printer.

Firstly does your dil have the machine in 'embroidery mode'? Does she have the centre 'spot' of the fabric beneath the needle? - if not, then she will have to use the arrow keys. Designs usually are centered, so when you put a design on the screen the needle should be in the center of your hoop and fabric - this should be the center of the design also. Not many designs will begin stitching in the center, but at the beginning of each colour section. The manual should explain, but I know we often have questions which they don't. Also make sure the hoop you use is not too small for the chosen design

Hope I have helped, as I am not familiar with this particular machine. Feel free to pm me privately if I can help further.
