Updating A.I. Series Software

Software updates consist of a complete set of distribution disks, without the master

disks. You can discard the distribution disks from the previous version, but retain any

disks labeled “MASTER.” Master disks are not version specific, and will remain in

use for the life of the product.

!

Executable files access one or more common files. Updating the online OR offline

modules replaces these common files with the newer version. If the online and

offline modules reside in the same directories, make sure to update both modules

to the new version. Running the software from a directory that contains mixed

revisions will yield unpredictable results.

If you receive an update that does not include both modules, you can install and

run the one module in a separate directory until the update for the other module

arrives.

Use the Setup program to update files on your hard disk.

Note

Program configuration, system security, and printer driver files are not overwritten by

the update function. If you want these files updated, delete them from the destination

directory before updating. (These filenames end with .CFG, .SCY, and .PDL

respectively.)

Note

Pressing the [Esc] key at any time during the update aborts the program and returns

you to the DOS prompt (after confirmation).
