Transferring Your Presentation to the 
Projector
Once your scenario is saved, you can transfer it to the memory card. 
The transfer process converts your scenario from a .SIC file to a .SIT 
file. Only .SIT files can be played on the projector.
Before you start, make sure you are set up to access the card—either in 
your computer’s PCMCIA slot or card reader, or through a USB 
connection to the projector. See page 40 for instructions on accessing 
the memory card.
1. From the Scenario Option menu, choose 
Transfer Scenario. 
You see a drive selection window:
2. Choose the drive where your card is located—either in your 
computer’s PCMCIA slot or card reader, or in the projector. 
3. Click 
OK. You see a confirmation message.
4. Click 
OK again. You see a window that displays the progress of 
your scenario.
After the scenario has been transferred to the card, you see the 
following message about your scenario’s Autorun setting:
 
The Autorun setting means that the scenario will start playing 
whenever the projector is turned on (with the memory card in the 
projector).
note
The USB connection is only 
available on computers with 
a factory-installed version of 
Windows 98, Me, or 2000. 
It is not available with 
Windows 95 or NT 4.0, and 
might not work on upgraded 
systems.

Presenting Without a 
Computer
You can run your presentation from the projector without a 
computer. You need to start by converting a PowerPoint file into a 
format called a 
scenario and
 downloading the scenario to the 
projector’s memory card. See Chapter 4 for instructions.
Once the scenario is saved on the memory card in the projector, you 
can run it automatically or with the remote control. You can also 
rearrange your slides and show images captured from videos or other 
sources.
This chapter covers the following:
