Checked against the field in either orientation, with the design sizes embroiderers usually quote. A design that fills the field edge to edge needs a size down or the next machine up, because you still want room for a basting box and for nudging placement.

12.2 x 8.3 inches (310 x 211 mm). That is the field the needle can reach, which is smaller than the plastic hoop, and it is the number Ricoma publishes on the machine's own product page.
Yes. Ricoma lists cap frame capability for the EM-1010, so it stitches a finished cap on the cap frame or driver sold for it. A cap front is a curved surface, so the usable design height on a cap is less than the flat field.
Only by splitting it in software and re-hooping between sections, lining them up with alignment stitches. It works, and every re-hoop is a chance for the sections to land slightly off. For paid work, quote designs that fit the field in one hooping, and price a split job for the extra handling.
No. The hoop is the plastic frame; the embroidery area is the region inside it the needle can reach, and it is always the smaller number. Every figure on this page is the field, not the frame.
