System Update Menu
The system update menu is hidden from regular access. Be careful in the system update menu as it is
possible to erase your content packs and settings.
The system update menu is accessed by holding the Menu button down while the laser powers on.
Keep the Menu button pressed until the system update menu is displayed, then release it.
The system provides two software update storage slots. The primary slot is used to store the last
installed update, and the backup slot may be used to hold an alternative software version in case the
installed version must be reverted for any reason. Updates from USB are always installed via the
primary update slot.
Exit Return to main menu
System Info Important information about your system such as the model of laser,
serial number of the Mercury interface and MAC address of the
system
Install update from USB This allows you to update the firmware on your laser projector. Insert
a USB drive into the USB port with the X-Laser firmware (*.XLB file) on
it. Select this setting and follow the on screen prompts. Detailed
instructions are included with all software update files.
Reinstall last update Reinstalls the last update that was installed from USB
Install backup software Reinstalls software stored in backup slot
Update backup Loads software into backup slot, but does not install it
Clear Pending Tasks This clears any requested actions and is useful in case of certain error
conditions that may rarely occur in case of a corrupted update
Erase last update Clears the update storage slot
Erase Backup Erases the update stored in the backup slot
Erase Application Erases the currently installed application. The bootloader and in most
cases the settings are preserved, so the laser is not bricked, but will
need to have application software installed before it becomes useful
again.
Unless you’re a certified X - Laser technician, please don’t do this
