Updating The Gerber Edge Fx Firmware - Gerber EDGE FX Owner's Manual

Updating the GERBER EDGE FX firmware

You can update the GERBER EDGE FX firmware to a new revision level using the web
interface. When an update file is sent to the GERBER EDGE FX, (using the Send button) it
programs new firmware onto the printed circuit board of the printer. The GERBER EDGE FX
must be set to OFFLINE in order to update the firmware.
The Reset button clears the Send File box to allow you to enter or choose a different file name.
The update file may be located on a CD or downloaded from the GSP website. If you download
the update file, make note of its saved location so that you can find it using the Browse button
during the update procedure.
