Just got this email from Epilog about a driver/firmware update.
Peck et al, the question I have is "Which should I update first, the driver or the laser firmware?" Does it matter?
Cheers,

Epilog Mini, Helix & EXT Driver and Firmware Update
Epilog Laser has released a new version of the driver and firmware for your Epilog Mini, Helix, and EXT laser systems.
Driver Upgrade:
Important! This new driver requires a firmware update to your machine to work properly.
- Adds center-to-center, center-to-top, and center-to- left engraving to the system.
- Download the instructions for using Center-Center Engraving.
Firmware Upgrade:
To download the new firmware and drivers for the Mini/Helix, go to www.epiloglaser.com/downloads_minihelix.htm .
- Adds center-to-center, center-to-top, and center-to- left engraving to the system.
- Enhancements to the USB connection make the connection much more robust and easy to set up.
- Adds Relocateable X-Axis home position for the Rotary Attachment.
- Laser Tickle: Enhancements have been made to the way CO2 laser tubes pre-ionize. This change can be set by the user and will ensure that the laser tube fires immediately, even after having set idle for long periods of time.
- To access Mode and Intensity on the EXT, use the Calibration menu and scroll to Laser T.M. for Mode and Laser T.I. for Intensity. To access Mode and Intensity on the Mini and Helix press the RESET + Up keys simultaneously. To access Intensity, press the RESET + Down keys simultaneously.
- Settings of 1 and 1 typically control any cold start issues.
