Settings for racking
Settings are necessary for modules of the following module groups:

Technique / Widening
Technique / Narrowing

Max. allowed racking </>	Unlimited	Value
		0
		n (any desired)

Specifications for both racking directions are always necessary with narrowing and widening modules.

Jacquard section

The settings for Jacquard are only available for Jacquard modules.

Element	Meaning
Relief jacquard	Activate for the Relief knitting mode.
Number of colors	Specify when generating the Jacquard module.
Stitch ratio	The stitch ratio of front to back can be specified. (for information only)
Picture side	Specify picture side at front or back.
Max. floating length	Display the maximum floating length.
Ladder Back	Specify the knitting mode when generating Jacquard modules.

General settings

Element		Meaning
1x1 Transfer allowed		Allow 1x1 transferring for this module.
1x1 Transfer allowed		Do not allow 1x1 transferring for this module.
Surroundings transfer allowed:		Allow transferring surrounding for this module.
Surroundings transfer allowed:		Do not allow transferring surrounding for this module.
Casting-off + Transfer permitted		Allow to combine casting-off and transferring for this module.
Casting-off + Transfer permitted		Do not allow to combine casting-off and transferring for this module.
Knitting mode	Define the knitting mode of the module. The selection of further modules is influenced by the knitting mode (Fading-out / Narrowing).

General module attributes section

Putting in the direction

Input	Meaning
>	with narrowing and widening modules: Racking direction to the right (VR) with binding-off modules: Carriage direction of the knitting row with binding-off markings
<	with narrowing and widening modules: Racking direction to the left (VL) with binding-off modules: Carriage direction of the knitting row with binding-off markings

Entry for Value1:

The container module is determined by Value1 and by the direction.

with technical container modules for narrowing and widening.

Value1	Meaning
0	The module will be inserted side by side several times according to the narrowing width of the shape. : If the module is wider than the narrowing width, then the module will be inserted independently of its own module width only partly.
1	Module will be inserted only once in its complete module width. The width of narrowing 1 has to be set within the Shape Editor or the Shape View.
2	Module will be inserted twice in its complete module width. In the shape editor or in the shape view under narrowing width is to be entered 2.
n	Module will be inserted n-times in its complete module width. In the shape editor or in the shape view under narrowing width is to be entered n.

with technical container modules for binding-off (stepping module)

Value1	Meaning
0	The technical container module will be used at the outer fabric edge and / or at the neckline. : A technical container module with value1=0 should always be present in this module group.

Value<> 0	The technical container module will be positioned within the fabric (neckline)
- n	The technical container module will be positioned at the left of the neckline on the binding-off markings (= symbol). : Carriage direction > must be set under Direction.
+ n	The technical container module will be positioned at the right of the neckline on the binding-off markings (= symbol). : Carriage direction < must be set under Direction.

The module, first read by the M1plus, will be inserted in the neckline if there are more one technical container modules with Value1 = +/- n in the module group.

with the elements in use in a technical container module for binding-off (stepping module)

Value1	Meaning
0	Positioning of the start / end module on the binding-off markings (= symbol)
- n	Moving the position to the left
+ n	Moving the position to the right

Start and end module within the technical container module (Step module)

Entry for Value 2:

with technical container modules for narrowing and widening.

Input	Meaning
	In general: If you want to use different narrowing modules at one fabric edge then you have to define different edges in the shape editor or different edge colors in the shape view. You can get different modules inserted by the definition of value2. : Values greater than 1000 specify the order of the module insert.

1001	First module, which will be inserted at the edge. : The insert starts at the beginning of the edge.
1002	Second module, which will be inserted at the edge.
1003	Third module, which will be inserted at the edge.
n	n. Module, which will be inserted at the edge.

For TC-R machines only: with technical container modules for narrowing and widening.

Input	Meaning
	In general: The distance between left and right shape edge within the cut-out is checked according to this value. There have to be two module with different values.
Example
- 2	The module is inserted with a distance of less than 2 needles from the shape edge (opening) by the value - 2.
+ 2	The module is inserted with a distance of 2 or more needles from the shape edge (opening) by the value 2.
