5. How to update the controller?

1. Download the latest updates from our official Website:

http://www.sinjoelaser.com/e_info/Support-12.html

2. Copy the update files you downloaded and don’t forget the files name.

3. Input the update files into Your U-disk

ATTENTION:

1) In consideration of the different features of U-disks in the global market,

we seriously recommend you to format the system to FAT 32.

2) Please NEVER choose the “Quick Format”. It will damage the system.

(We met similar problem thousands of times every year according to the

http://www.sinjoelaser.com/e_info/Support-12.html


21

feedback from customers.)

3) The correct method to format:

4. ONLY WITH U-DISK CAN THIS MAIN BOARD BE UPDATED.

5. After you pluged your U-disk into the main board interface, press Menu button

and enter the Files

Figure 29

Enter the first one: U-disk files

Figure 30

Enter the third one: Upgrade’ Files

Press Enter and “” or “” to choose the update files you need.


22

Figure 31

It takes about 30 seconds to update the system. And during that time, please do NOT

cut the power or remove the U-disk.
