Finalizing the Installation
Use this section of the manual to learn how to:
• configure the computer settings (this page)
• select the projector’s picture settings (page 14)
• adjust the projected image (page 14)
• install SMART Board software on the connected computer (page 17)
• configure the computer port (page 18)
• orient the interactive whiteboard (page 18)
NOTE: Turn the 4000i and host computer on before proceeding (see Turning On the 4000i on
page 19).
Configuring the Computer Settings
For optimal configuration, use the following recommended settings for the computer inside the
4000i cabinet.
Recommended Settings
Set the computer to turn off the monitor after one hour of inactivity and to switch the hard disk(s) to
Standby mode after two hours. This prevents the computer from unexpectedly switching to
Standby mode while you’re presenting.
When the 4000i’s active display source is the computer, the computer stops sending an RGB
video signal to the projector after the set period of inactivity. After approximately five minutes with
no RGB signal, the projector switches to Standby mode.
NOTE: If the projector’s input source is the video source (either composite or S-video), the
projector won’t switch to Standby mode.
To change the settings in the Windows® operating system, double-click the Power Options icon
in the control panel and adjust the settings in the Power Schemes tab. For Macintosh computers,
click the Energy Saver icon in the System Preferences application. For detailed information on
changing power management settings, see your computer’s operating system instructions.
Matching the Computer’s Resolution to the Projector Resolution
The projector resolution is 1400 × 1050 pixels (SXGA+) and you must ensure that the computer’s
resolution is the same. If the computer’s resolution is set to anything other than this optimal
resolution, you may not see the entire projected image, or the image may be too small to fill the
screen, even when you adjust it. For more information on changing the computer’s resolution, see
your computer’s operating system instructions.
NOTE: You may need to adjust the computer’s refresh rate to obtain the best results. Set the
computer to an initial refresh rate of 60 Hz and adjust this rate up or down until you’ve determined
the ideal refresh rate. For more information on changing the computer’s refresh rate, see your
computer’s operating system instructions.
