LP4 Firmware Upgrade Instructions - V655

  • Updated

1. V655 Firmware Upgrade Precautions

The LaserPecker Development Team is always working to improve our tech interface and user experience. We encourage our users to stay up to date by upgrading their machine's firmware as well as the app or software that they use.

The V655 firmware update mainly improves the LP4's engraving speed. Before updating to this version, please be sure to perform the following steps.

1.1 Save your Settings before upgrade

Customized settings from previous jobs that users have saved in the LDS Software/App are relative to the slower speeds of the earlier firmware versions and will not be applicable after upgrading to the faster V655 firmware.

The latest version of the LDS Software/App has a newly added function that allows users to convert settings from their previous jobs. To do so, these custom settings must be saved and the LDS Software/App must be upgraded.

1.2 Check the settings conversion chart after upgrade

As a backup measure to ensure that users are able to repeat their previous jobs with the same results, we have provided a settings conversion chart on the official LaserPecker website.

Recommended parameter for firmware before V655.
