How to project the contents of files stored on a memory device s with the Data Projector’s Viewer function. Viewer is one of the Data Projec tor’s built-in applications. It lets you play back and project the contents of files from a memory device connected to the Data Projector. EZ-Converter FA is computer software for converting PowerPoint files to ECA files that can be played back and projected by the Data Projector. EZ-Converter FA supports conversion of file created with Microsoft Offi ce PowerPoint 2003, 2007 and 2010.
