> ## Updating Printer Control Software

> You can update the machine control software in your 3-D printer from your client workstation. You should only perform an upgrade if you receive updated software from 3D Systems.

> Before you begin, the 3-D printer must be offline.

> Open the printer's Info window for the printer you want to update (see Displaying a Printer's Info Window), and select Printer, Upgrade. A dialog box appears:

> Select an appropriate upgrade file (the highest available number for an InVision printer system) and click the Upgrade button.

> To monitor the process, display the printer's LCD panel (see Displaying the Printer's LCD Panel).

> When the printer displays the message "PLATFORM CLEAR? Y/N," go the printer and press the YES button.

> To verify that the upgrade was successful, return to your client workstation and again select Printer, Upgrade. Verify that the Current Printer Version matches the version you installed.
