8Getting Started

Installing the Remote Control Batteries

Make sure the remote control batteries are installed. If you need to install or

replace them, use 2 AA alkaline batteries.

1. Press in on the catch on the battery cover as you lift the cover off.

2. Install two batteries, inserting the +and – ends as shown.

3. Replace the battery cover and press it down until it clicks into place.

Connecting the Cables 9

Connecting the Cables

You can connect the projector to any computer that has a standard monitor out

port using the VGA computer cable that came with the projector.

In addition, you must connect the USB cable before you can use the interactive

pens. If the cable is not long enough to reach your computer, you may need to use

a USB booster cable (not included).

You can also project through the USB port (USB display) or through a network.

However, the VGA monitor out port on your computer provides the best

performance when used with the interactive pens.

Connecting the VGA Computer Cable

1. Locate the VGA computer cable connected to the projector.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to your computer’s monitor out port.

VGA computer cable USB cable

10 Getting Started

Connecting the USB Cable for the Interactive Pens

In order to use the interactive pens, you must connect the USB cable to the

projector and your computer.

1. Locate the USB cable connected to the projector.

2. Connect the flat end of the cable to any available USB port on your

notebook or desktop computer.

Turning the Projector On and Off 11

Turning the Projector On and Off

Before you turn on the projector, turn on your computer.

1. Make sure the projector is plugged in. The Ppower light should be orange.

2. Press the Ppower button on the remote control.

After a few moments, you should see your computer desktop displayed. If you

see a blank screen or the No signal message, see page 27 for help.

Warning:

Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes, and is

especially dangerous for children.

3. When you’re finished using the projector, press the Ppower button on the

remote control.

4. When you see a confirmation message, press the Ppower button again.

Note:

Lamp life will vary depending upon mode selected, environmental conditions, and

usage. Turn off this product when not in use to prolong the life of the projector.

The projector can be set to automatically turn off the lamp and enter “sleep mode”

when it has not received any signals for 1 to 30 minutes (see your on-screen User’s

Guide for details). This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of

the lamp. If you want to start projecting again, press the P power button.

12 Getting Started

Adjusting the Image

If necessary, you can use the remote control buttons to adjust the image:

Calibrating the Projector

Calibration sets up the connection between your computer and the interactive

pens. This simple process ensures that your computer can accurately detect the

position of the pen on the projection surface.

You need to calibrate before using the pens for the first time, or if you change the

resolution on your computer or connect a different computer. You can use either

pen for calibration.

Calibrating the Projector 13

Checking the Connection Status

Before you can calibrate, you need to make sure the Easy Interactive Driver is

activated on your computer.

1. Make sure the pen icon appears on your screen, either in the system tray

on your taskbar in lower right corner of your screen (Windows) or in the

Dock (Macintosh). It may take a minute for the icon to appear after you turn

on the computer and projector.

If a red X appears on the icon, the computer and projector are not connected

correctly. Try removing and reconnecting the USB cable.

2. If you don’t see the icon, do one of the following:

Windows: select or Start > All Programs or Programs > Epson

Projector > Easy Interactive Driver.

Macintosh: open the Application folder, then select the Easy Interactive

Driver icon.

If you need more help, see page 28.

When the computer and projector are connected and the Easy Interactive Driver

icon is displayed, you’re ready to calibrate. See the next section for instructions.

Note:

Do not select Exit or Quit from the Easy Interactive Driver menu. If you do, you will

have to open the driver as described above the next time you want to use the

interactive pen.

Performing Calibration

Two types of calibration are available:

■Normal, which is faster and appropriate for most situations (25 calibration

points)

■Advanced, which is recommended when you are projecting very detailed

images and need higher accuracy (49 calibration points)

You may need to recalibrate if you press the Auto button or change the projector’s

aspect ratio using the remote control, or if you change the following settings in the

projector’s menu system: Auto Setup, Resolution, Tracking, Sync, Position,

Aspect, Keystone, or Zoom.

14 Getting Started

1. To start calibration, do one of the following:

Windows: click the pen icon in the system tray on your taskbar (lower

right corner of your screen), then select Calibrate (Normal) or Calibrate

(Advanced).

Macintosh: click the pen icon in the Dock, select Calibrate from the

menu bar, then select Calibrate (Normal) or Calibrate (Advanced).

2. After you read the message about calibration, click OK.

3. Wait until you see a flashing green circle in the upper left corner of your

projected image.

4. Touch the center of the circle with the tip of the pen.

The circle stops flashing and turns black. You see another circle on the right.

5. Touch the center of the next circle, then repeat. When you get to the end of

the row, the next circle appears at the left edge of a new row.

Note:

For the most accurate calibration, make sure you hold the

pen at an angle to the projection surface and touch the

center of the circle.

Make sure you are not blocking the signal between the

pen and the interactive receiver (next to the projection window) on the projector.

Don’t press the button on the side of the pen while calibrating.

If you make a mistake or want to stop calibrating, press Esc on your computer

keyboard. Then restart the calibration process as described above.

Calibrating the Projector 15

6. Continue until all of the circles are black.

After you have finished calibration, you can use either pen as a mouse on the

projection board or wall. With additional software, you can also use the pens to

write or draw on the projected image. You can use any annotation software you

have or Easy Interactive Tools, as described on page 17.

16 Using the Interactive Pens

Using the Interactive Pens

The interactive pens included with your projector turn almost any wall into an

interactive whiteboard. This chapter tells you how to use the pens and the Easy

Interactive Tools.

Using the Pen as a Mouse

The Easy Interactive Driver allows you to use the pen as a mouse. If you installed

interactive whiteboard software such as RM Easiteach or the Easy Interactive

Tools, you can also use the pens to write or draw on the projected image.

Press the button on the pen to test the batteries. If the indicator light is green, the

batteries have enough power.

Follow these tips to use the pen as a mouse:

■For best performance, hold the pen at an angle (like a normal pen), rather

than perpendicular to the board.

■To left-click, tap on the board.

■To double-click, tap twice.

■To right-click, tap while pressing the button on the pen.

■To click and drag, tap and drag with the pen.

To use the pen for writing or drawing on the board, you need interactive

whiteboard software, such as RM Easiteach. The pen should work with any

interactive whiteboard software, or you can use Easy Interactive Tools.
