I just did an update check on my 1088. It showed a new firmware from 3.8 to 3.9. Could someone please tell me what this new update does? It seemed to be a large update. It took it a awhile for the update to complete.

When you are prompted for the update, there is a "Release Notes" button that will tell you.... :wink:

Updated the firmware on my WS1088 using both the CPU Update Utility and EZ-Scan, no 'release notes' button found...

When you click on "UPDATES" and select CPU, for example, a dialog box opens. 4 buttons are shown on the bottom right. The top right is "Update my scanner" to the left of that button is "View Release Notes"
