CWhen using a projector to project images, be sure to display the image so that it is centered left-to-right
on the electronic print board screen and with at least a 50 mm (2) gap between the top of the image
and the screen border. Note that the Electronic Pen does not always operate properly when within 50
mm (2) of the top of the screen, 100 mm (3
15/16) of the position receiver and 35 mm (13/8) from the both
sides of the screen.
CSince the Electronic Pen position may shift if the image on the screen is trapezoidal, adjust the projector
so that the image on the screen is rectangular.
CWhen projecting an image on the electronic print board using a projector, the image on the screen may
become difficult to see depending on the viewing angle and position due to reflected projector light. 
If this happens, adjust the location of the projector or change your viewing position.
CWhen using a projector to project a PC screen, be sure to use optimum resolution settings for the
projector and the PC. The image may be difficult to see if optimum settings are not used. Fine lines in
the image on the electronic print board screen may appear broken particularly if the projector resolution
is lower than the PC resolution.
CWhen using a projector to project images, the Electronic Pen position may shift if the projection position
shifts due to the following causes. If this happens, it becomes necessary to perform calibration to re-
position the projected image on the screen. (For details on calibration, please see page 33.)
BWhen the installed location of the projector is changed.
BWhen the position of the electronic print board is changed.
BWhen the projection area and position has changed due to using a projector function such as zoom.
BWhen the display resolution of the projector or PC has changed.
CNote that the position of an electronic print board attached to a stand may shift if it is struck carelessly.
Always make sure the stands casters are locked in place.
CLight from the projector may enter the eye when using a projector to project images for the purpose of
making presentations and so on. Be very careful as direct projector light may hurt the eyes.
nPrecautions when using a projector
Do not use the shaded area.

Projector Mode
n Basic operation flow in Projector mode
This section explains the flow of basic operations when using the Intera\
ctive Panaboard Software in the Projector
mode. We recommend trying the operations in accordance with the followin\
g steps to help you completely
understand the operations in the Projector mode.
CFor any explanations on the operations of the Projector mode, the Electr\
onic Pen will be referred to as Mouse
and the projected computer screen on the Interactive Panaboard will be r\
eferred to as Desktop.
CCalibration
Calibration is an operation to calibrate the
position of the computer screen projected onto
the Interactive Panaboard screen to judge the
position by the Interactive Panaboard Software.
(1) Start the Interactive Panaboard
Software and select the Projector
mode. (See page 29.)
CThe calibration screen is displayed.
(2) In the sequence of upper left, upper
right, lower right and lower left, press for about two seconds for cente\
r of each four corner
position with the Electronic Pen.
CWhen this operation ended correctly, then the next position starts autom\
atically.
(3) When the calibration ended correctly, there is a message telling you its finish. From this
point onward, the Electronic Pen can be used as the Mouse.
CIf recalibration is necessary, click [Calibrate] in the pop-up menu.
Note
Remark:
Place the
Electronic Pen
on this position
and depress it.
C If you move the projector or  Interactive Panaboard, the position of the\
 computer screen projected onto the
Interactive Panaboard screen will be changed. This will result in out of\
 position of the Electronic Pen. If this
happens, you will need to recalibrate the unit by executing [Calibrate] \
in the pop-up menu.
C In the Projector mode, use the Electronic Pen with its cap on.
C Do not cover the position receiver with your hand as this may cause inte\
ractive function to stop functioning.
C Press down firmly with the point of the Electronic Pen on the screen fil\
m until you hear a buzzing sound.
C For precise positioning, keep the Electronic Pen perpendicularly to the \
Interactive Panaboard screen during
use. Inclined pen angle will cause the shift of position. 
						

							34
Projector Mode
CUse the Electronic Pen as a mouse
After the calibration is completed, the Electronic Pen can be used as a mouse for the projected computer screen
on the Interactive Panaboard.
CIf double-click does not work properly, confirm that the same position is accurately clicked twice. 
When the position is different, it is not recognized a double click.
Or, try different timing of depressing and releasing of the Electronic Pen. This operation is also depending on
the setting of the double-click speed of the [Control Panel].
Note
Remark:
CFor precise positioning, keep the Electronic Pen perpendicularly to the Interactive Panaboard screen
during use. Inclined pen angle will cause the shift of position.
