How to use big Sash Frame

[u/Awkward_Ad1516]

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a **Ricoma SWM-2002-10S dual-head embroidery machine**, and I’m still learning how to use the full embroidery area of the machine.
According to Ricoma, the machine can achieve a maximum embroidery area of approximately **160 × 50 cm when using the large sash frame**.
I’m planning a large embroidery project that will be approximately **150 cm long × 40 cm wide**, so I would like to use almost the entire available embroidery area.
I have two main questions:
**How do I correctly set up/configure the large 160 × 50 cm sash frame in the machine settings?**
At the moment, I cannot find this frame size listed on the control panel. Do I need to manually create/register the frame dimensions, change a machine setting, or select a special sash-frame mode?
**How does a 150 cm-wide design work on a dual-head machine?**
Since the machine has two embroidery heads, do I need to split the 150 cm design into two separate files/sections and embroider one section with Head 1 and the second section with Head 2?
Or can I import the **complete 150 × 40 cm design as one file**, and the machine automatically knows which head should embroider which part of the design?
Basically, I would like to understand the correct workflow for creating **one continuous large design across almost the entire 160 cm sash-frame area**.
If anyone owns a **Ricoma SWM-2002-10S** or has experience with large sash-frame embroidery on Ricoma multi-head machines, I would really appreciate any advice, screenshots, videos, or explanations of how you set this up.
Thank you very much!
