Setting the Slide Animation
With EMP SlideMaker2, you can set effects similar to the animation 
effects of PowerPoint for each cell in the scenario. You can project the 
slides that retain the animation set in PowerPoint by setting projection 
time or animation for each divided scene.
In this case, right-click the target animation in the animation check 
window and click Cell Properties.
A
Right-click in the target cell or the animation,
and select Cell Properties.When making the same settings for multiple cells or animations, 
select multiple cells by holding down the [Shift] key or the [Ctrl] 
key on the keyboard, right-click and then select Cell Properties.
q
If animations set in PowerPoint in advance are included in 
a scenario, the animations operate smoothly during 
scenario playback. To set animations in PowerPoint slides, 
we recommend you set them in the PowerPoint file itself. If 
you want to make animation settings for image files, or if 
you want to add animation settings to slides that lost their 
animation settings when they were included in the scenario, 
add the settings using the following method.

Remedy
Did the presenter leave the conference room without 
cutting off the network connection?
In Network Presentation, the connection with the computer that was previously connected can be cut off 
when another computer tries to connect with the projector, and it connects with the computer that is trying to 
connect. 
Therefore, when a projector keyword is not set for the projector, or if you know the projector keyword, you 
can cut off the current connection and, if you perform a connection operation, you can connect to the 
projector.
When a projector keyword is set for the projector, if you do not know the projector keyword, cut off 
projection from the projector and reconnect. To cut off connection from the projector, press the [Esc] button 
on the remote control, select Close from the close menu and press the [Enter] button on the remote control 
When it cuts off, you can connect from the target computer.

any obstacles between the access point and the computer or projector, and change their position to improve 
the electromagnetic wave situation.
Is the computer’s wireless LAN electromagnetic wave 
set to low?
Set the electromagnetic wave strength to maximum.
Does the wireless LAN conform to 802.11g, 802.11b, 
or 802.11a?
