So an American machine has imperial seam guides on the needle plate.
But the Euro Pro would be European and in metric so it has seam guides in metric widths, i.e. millimetres. 10 will be 10 millimetres, or 1 centimetre, 16 mm, 22mm.
A normal seam in metric is 15mm - in your land 5/8", the two are not quite the same but pretty close. This link
http://convert.french-property.co.uk/ gives you a converter between the two systems.
A 1/4" is your standard piecing seam for the quilters and this is why many Australian quilters will buy a 1/4" foot so they can guide the fabric along the foot edge to get nice standard seams.
So you could break out some masking tape and a metric/imperial ruler and measure from the needle to the right and put a strip of tape onto your needle plate to mark your 5/8" dimension you are used to. Or use the 16mm seam marking which is very close anyway.
Hope this helps.
