**Note**: If the iScan is operating in AutoLoader mode, the user must exit and restart the software in manual mode in order to be able to see the ICS software version. Once in manual mode, select the **About** option to display the ICS version. For additional details, refer to page 12 of the [Autoloader2x User Guide](https://support.illumina.com/content/dam/illumina-support/documents/documentation/system_documentation/autoloader/AutoLoader2x_User_Guide_15015394_A.pdf).
