Calibration
In order to allow the sensor of the projector to accurately detect the position of projected screen,  please execute 
the calibration first.
Step 1. Connect the projector and Mac using the included USB cable.
Step 2.  Double-click the “LightPenII 2.1.1.app” or “LightPenII 2.1.1.app” shortcut icon to launch the program. The 
icon appears in the menu bar on the top of the screen and the tool bar appears at the right side of the 
screen.
 
Step 3. Left-click the “LightPenII” icon in the menu bar.
Step 4. Select “Calibration.”
Step 5.  Place the tip of the pointer or pen (select according to screen size) on the + mark and press the button. 
That + mark changes from green to black, and the next green mark appears in the middle of the top of the 
screen. Follow the same procedures to turn all 13 + marks black. In order to complete calibration smoothly, 
make sure that the pointer or pen tip always has a clear line of sight to the sensor beneath the projector 
lens. When light from the projector shines on the tip, the sensor can detect its position well.
Hint
     If the screen and projector are fixed, this calibration will not be necessary the next time that you use the same 
computer and screen resolution with them.
