Upgrading Your Firmware

Your laser system is capable of having its operation firmware upgraded. The
firmware is the command software in your laser system that controls how your
laser system operates (think of firmware as the "brains" of your system). A
firmware upgrade reprograms your laser system to take advantage of new
capabilities or enhancements to the system.
To accomplish the reprogramming, you just "Print" a special file to your laser
system. The process is explained below.
Upgrading your laser is a two-step process:
1. Download the new firmware to your computer and extract (also known as
Unzipping or decompressing) it.
2. Transfer the new firmware from your computer to your laser.
