2 Introduction
Getting the Most from Your Projector
Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you can take
advantage of the following options:
■ Presenting without a computer
If the projector is connected to your network, you can use its
EasyMP.net features to transfer your presentation directly to the
projector. This lets you walk into the meeting room hands-free
and deliver your presentation without having to connect a PC or
laptop.
EasyMP.net lets you project various Microsoft ® applications—
such as PowerPoint, ® Excel, and Word—as well as certain types of
image files. For instructions, see Chapter 1 starting on page 7.
■ Connecting a computer or video device
If you’re not using EasyMP.net, you’ll need to connect the
projector directly to a computer or video device. See page 30 for
guidelines on positioning the projector. Then turn to page 31 to
connect a Macintosh
® or PC, or page 36 to connect a VCR,
DVD player, or other type of video device.
When done connecting your equipment, turn to Chapter 3
starting on page 37 for instructions on displaying and adjusting
the image.
■ Using the remote control
You can use the remote control to start and run your presentation,
control the picture and sound, and highlight your presentation by
using it as a digital pointer. If you’re giving a PowerPoint
presentation, you can use the remote as a wireless mouse to click
through from one slide to the next. See Chapter 4 starting on
page 49 for details.
