Using the Whiteboard

This section will focus on interacting with the projection system without a computer connected to it.

Before You Begin

1) Check the pens:

  • Make sure to install an AA battery.

  • Press the button on the pen to check the battery - green or blue is good (depending on the model of pen you have).

  • After 20 seconds, the pen goes into a power saving mode; after 20 min - it will turn off. To turn on - touch the tip to the board

  • Pen model ELPPN05 (black line down the center) works with the 685Wi and higher projector models; pen model ELPPN04 works with the 585Wi and lower projector models

2) Calibrate the pens:

  • Power on the projector

  • Clear the projector screen.

  • To auto-calibrate: From the remote, select the User button. Click Yes to start the auto calibration process and move away form the screen.

  • To manually calibrate: select the User button. Click No and then Extended > Easy Interactive function > Manual calibration. You will then be prompted to touch the pen to various points on the screen.

Using the Whiteboard

  • To choose whiteboard mode, tap your pen to the screen mounted on the wall. The Epson toolbar should appear.

  • Tap the whiteboard icon at the top of the toolbar. You will then see the blank white screen - this is the whiteboard.

  • You will see pen and highlighter tools: There are several colors and thicknesses available. You can also change color or thickness of the pen/ highlighter strokes.

  • There are two erase tools: One eraser will allow you to tap and drag to erase certain annotations. The other eraser option allows you to erase the entire screen.

  • You can choose a different background -- click the background icon from the toolbar to do so.
