Calibration
If the pen position and cursor don't match you can use the Auto Calibration feature on the remote control by pressing the USER button.
If the pen position and cursor location don’t match, you can try auto calibration, or you can calibrate manually for even greater accuracy.
You don’t need a computer, and you won’t need to calibrate again unless the projector or image is moved, or the image is resized.
