Dear Melco Customer,

If you own a M elco EM T 10/12T multi-head machine, DO NO T attempt to upgrade your current

machine M CPS software with this version. This MCPS software upgrade is ONLY designatedfor the EMB 10/6T multi-head machine.

You may have a newer version of software already installed, or you may need a hardware

upgrade before you can install this software successfully (e.g. EM B 10/6T requires EPRO M s with

software version 1.2 for head nodes and 1.1 for bed node).

This M CPS release consists of two (2) installation disks which include the following versions of the

program and RSA files:

M CPS program version 1.24

RSA (EM B 10/6T) version 1.23

To check which M CPS program and RSA versions are currently running on your machine, perform

the following simple procedure:

1. In the M CPS Control Panel screen, click the A dvanced button.

2. The Program Version and RSA version numbers are identif ied in the upper left area of the

A dvanced screen which is now showing.

Important!
