20 Presenting Without a Computer
Highlighting Your Presentation
You can highlight your presentation with special symbols or your own
drawings, and you can annotate it with on-screen text. For simple
pointer effects, you can use the remote control, or for more
sophisticated effects you can use a mouse or drawing tablet.
Choosing a Drawing Tool
If all you want to do is place simple figures on the screen—such as an
arrow or an underline to highlight key points—you can use the
remote control to guide the cursor. For details, see page 52.
To make actual drawings, or to write text on the screen, you can use
either a mouse or drawing tablet. (A drawing tablet works best.) If you
have a USB mouse or a Wacom Graphire
™ tablet, you can connect it
directly to the projector’s USB port as described below. Otherwise
you’ll need to use the projector’s EMP Tablet program on a PC or
laptop that’s networked to the projector; see page 21.
Using a USB Mouse or Tablet
To connect a USB mouse or Wacom Graphire drawing tablet directly
to the projector, plug it into one of the four USB ports on the back of
the projector as shown:
When drawing with the tablet, note that you can use the upper end of
the pen as an eraser. Keep in mind that you can also use the pen to
click and double-click like a regular mouse. Tap the tip of the pen
against the tablet’s surface to click or double-click; to right-click, press
the lower part of the button on the side of the pen.
note
Other drawing tablet models
won’t work with this
projector.
