Setting up the Projector
When Windows finds the driver, you are ready to install it. Click 
Next.
Click Finish when installation is complete.
NOTE: The USB functionality is
supported for use with Windows
98, Windows ME, Windows 2000,
and Apple OS 8.5 and higher only.
Windows NT is not supported.
bIf you connected the USB cable (page 9), the Add New 
Hardware Wizard appears again. Drivers must be installed 
to use the USB functionality. 
The Wizard is launched four times. The first time it detects 
a USB Composite Device, the second time a USB Human 
Interface Device (for the keyboard), the third time a USB 
Human Interface Device (for the mouse), and the last time 
an InFocus-specific driver used for Projector Manager, a 
software program included on the CD. The required driv-
ers for the first 3 Wizards are located on your Windows 
operating system and on the Window operating system 
CD. If you do not want to use Projector Manager, you can 
simply cancel the final Wizard that asks for the InFocus 
LP500/530 driver. 
If you want to install the Projector Manager driver, insert 
the InFocus CD into your CD-ROM drive. Make sure the 
“CD-ROM disk” checkbox is checked so the Wizard can 
locate the appropriate driver on the CD. (If you do not have 
the CD, you can download the driver from our website at 
www.infocus.com/service/software.) See page 37 for 
details on installing Projector Manager software. 
						

							17
For Windows 2000 and Windows ME:
aThe USB drivers are automatically installed. You only need 
to install an additional driver if you want to install the Pro-
jector Manager application. When the Add New Hardware 
Wizard appears asking for the InFocus LP500/530 driver, 
insert the InFocus CD into your CD-ROM drive. Make sure 
the “CD-ROM disk” checkbox is checked so the Wizard can 
locate the appropriate driver on the CD. (If you do not have 
the CD, you can download the driver from our website at 
www.infocus.com/service/software). See page 37 for 
details on installing Projector Manager software.
For a Macintosh computer running Mac OS X:
aA Mac OS X driver and Control Panel will be available 
soon. The USB driver on the CD will not work in the Classic 
Mac OS environment provided in Mac OS X. You should 
boot OS 9.1 and follow the Mac OS 9.1 instructions.
For a Macintosh computer running Mac OS 9.1:
aA dialog box appears stating that software is needed for the 
USB device. Click Cancel. We recommend installing Projec-
tor Manager software. See page 37 for details.
NOTE: With some computers, 
the order in which you power up 
the equipment is very important. 
Most computers should be turned 
on last, after all other peripherals 
have been turned on. Refer to your 
computer’s documentation to 
determine the correct order.
6The computer image should display on the projection screen. 
If it doesn’t, press the 
source button on the keypad or the data 
button on the remote to display your computer’s image. Make 
sure your laptop’s external video port is activated; see “Porta-
ble and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 58 for details.
If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the pro-
jector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the 
menu/select button on the keypad or remote, then select the 
Display or Image sub-menu. For more information about 
the menus, see page 25.

Turning Off the Projector
If you want to turn off the projector for a short period of time, 
press the 
standby button on the keypad or remote. This blanks the 
screen for fifteen minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You 
can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby 
mode; see page 33 for details.) After 15 minutes, the lamp goes 
out. To exit standby mode, press the 
standby button again. (It may 
take several seconds for the projection lamp to reach full power 
and project the image again.) See page 24 for details on standby 
mode.
NOTE: Lamp life will be extended
if you turn the power off, then wait
1 minute while the lamp cools
before unplugging the projector.
The Lamp LED will light green
when the lamp has cooled.
To turn off the projector, press the power button. The lamp turns 
off and the LED blinks orange for a minute while the fans con-
tinue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED 
lights green and the fans stop. Unplug the power cord to com-
pletely power off the projector.

USING THE PROJECTOR
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the 
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote 
buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.
Basic Image Adjustment
1Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right 
order (page 14).
2If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image 
(page 19), adjust the height of the projector (page 20) or center 
the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position 
(page 31). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the 
screen.
3If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 19).
4If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness, contrast, 
tint, or color (page 26).
Adjusting the Projector
To focus the image, rotate the focus ring (Figure 13) until the 
image is clear. To zoom the image, rotate the zoom ring. This 
adjusts the image size. You can also zoom in on part of the image, 
see page 24.
NOTE: To obtain the best overall 
focus quality, open the menu and 
focus on the text. This will ensure 
that the best overall image quality 
is achieved.

Using the Remote Control
To use the forward and backward buttons on the remote to 
advance slides in PowerPoint, you must connect the USB connec-
tor on the computer cable to the computer. See page 9 for details. 
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front or 
back of the projector (not at the computer). The range for opti-
mum operation is about 25 feet. If you point the remote at the 
projection screen, the distance to the screen and back to the pro-
jector must be less than or equal to 25 feet. For best results, point 
the remote directly at the projector.
