Firmware updates are an essential part of keeping your Silhouette cutting machine running properly. Firmware updates allow you to take advantage of new features, correct bugs and ensure that your machine is up to date with the latest software. To update your Silhouette firmware, you’ll need a computer with internet access and a compatible USB cable.
The first step is to visit the Silhouette America website and download the latest version of the firmware for your machine. Once downloaded, unzip the file and save it somewhere on your computer where you’ll be able to find it easily. Make sure that you save it in a place where you won’t accidentally delete it – like a folder specifically created for this purpose.
Once you have downloaded the software, plug one end of the USB cable into your computer and the other end into your Silhouette cutting machine. Once connected, turn on your machine.
A window should open on your computer automatically asking if you would like to install the new firmware.
If this window does not open automatically, then you will need to manually install the firmware by opening File Explorer on your computer and locating the folder where you saved the unzipped software. Once located, double-click on it and follow any prompts that appear until the update is complete.
Once installed, unplug the USB cable from both devices and restart your Silhouette cutting machine. Your firmware should now be up to date!
Conclusion:
Updating your firmware is an important part of keeping your Silhouette cutting machine functioning properly. To update it, download the latest version of firmware from the Silhouette America website, plug in a compatible USB cable between your computer and device, then install or manually upload it when prompted. Once completed, restart both devices for successful installation.
