Adjusting the Projected Image

For both front and rear projection SMART Board interactive whiteboards, you can fix many
image problems by shifting the projector or adjusting the zoom lens. Optimally, you should
have a margin of approximately 3/8" (1 cm) on both the right and left sides of the screen.

You should set the projector to its optimal image resolution by following the instructions in your
projector’s manual. Then set your computer’s resolution to match. If the resolutions don’t
match, the on-screen image won’t properly fill the interactive screen and may shimmer or be
distorted.

1. Select Systems Preferences from the Apple menu.

2. In the Systems Preferences, double click Displays.

3. Click the Display tab and select a new resolution.

4. Close the Displays window.
