Firmware is a special kind of software stored on your device. More from Wikipedia: . Generally speaking, you can avoid thinking about firmware. However, every now and then, you may need to upgrade the firmware in your tablet. ## Upgrading firmware The process of upgrading the firmware is usually very simple for a drawing tablet. You open the driver application, and there is usually some button to indicate that you can upgrade the firmware or check whether a new firmware version is available. ## Are there risks? Updating the firmware is unlikely to damage your tablet in any fundamental way. However, the firmware can change the behavior of the tablet. For example, it might change how responsive the pen is because it may add or remove position smoothing. ## Should you upgrade the firmware? In general, it is best to have the latest firmware. However, unless there is a specific problem you are having, you should avoid upgrading the firmware. If you are considering installing firmware to fix a problem, please make sure you have contacted support first. They may have specific firmware versions they want you to use. They may want you to try a different firmware version to test something. They may also know that certain firmware should not be installed. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
