Usage   
						

							Setting the Projector
Set up your projector as instructed below.
About Positioning the Image
• When you are projecting an image, make sure that
the edge of the projected image is at least 5 mm
( 1
/4  in.) from the screen frame. The electronic pen
may not function correctly within 50 mm (2 in.) of the
position sensor in the upper-left corner of the screen
board.Project the Image as a Rectangle• Adjust the location of the projector to project at a
right angle with the elite Panaboard.18Operating Instructions (For Basic Operations)UsageProjectable Area

							•If the image is projected trapezoidally, the
position of the electronic pen may not be read
correctly. Adjust the projector so that the
projected image is a rectangle. Refer to your
projector's documentation for information on
adjusting the projected image.
Set the Proper Resolution
• Set your computer's and projector's resolutions to
the most appropriate setting.
If the resolution is not set properly, the image will be
difficult to see. Particularly, if the projector's
resolution is lower than the computer's, thin lines
can appear cut or broken. Refer to your projector's
documentation for information on adjusting the
resolution.
Do Not Look Directly into the Projector Lamp
• When using a projector, try to avoid looking directly
into the projector lamp. Doing so can hurt your eyes.
Setting Your System
(Calibration)
About Calibration
Calibration is setting up the elite Panaboard and
projector so that lines and comments drawn on the
screen board with the electronic pen will be correctly
displayed on the image projected onto the screen
board. Be sure to perform calibration before use.
After you have set up the elite Panaboard, project an
image onto the screen board and use the elite
Panaboard software installed on your computer to
perform calibration.
After Calibration
Do Not Move the elite Panaboard or the
Projector
• The position of projected image and electronic pen
will become misaligned in the following cases,
requiring you to re-calibrate their positions.
– The location of the projector changed.
– The location of the elite Panaboard changed.
– The image area or placement was changed due
to changes in the zoom, focus, etc.
– The resolution of the projector or the computer
changed.
• If you are using the elite Panaboard installed on a
stand, be aware that accidentally hitting the elite
Panaboard or pushing too strongly with the
electronic pen while operating can move the stand's
position, which will result in misalignment of the
projected image and the electronic pen's position.
• Make sure to lock the stand’s casters when using
the elite Panaboard, as failing to do so can cause
misalignment.Operating Instructions (For Basic Operations)19
