28 English Advanced Configuration Advanced ConÞguration This section gives you more detailed information about various projector setup, peripheral connection, and projector usage issues. Installing a Custom Startup LogoYou can create a custom startup logo, save it as a standard 16-color Windows bitmap (BMP) Þle, and install it in projector memory. You use the Startup Logo item on the Features menu to replace the default logo displayed during projector startup with the custom logo. Use the LOADLOGO.EXE program, on the Polaview 330 Tools diskette included with the projector, to download a custom logo to the projector. To install a custom startup logo: 1 Connect an RS232 cable to the projectorÕs RS232 connector and to the computer serial port. 2 Start the LOADLOGO.EXE program. 3 Select a communications port from the on-screen menu. 4 Click on the Download menu on the menu bar. 5 Click on Custom Logo. 6 Select the directory in which the custom logo is stored, and click on Open. The LOADLOGO.EXE program installs the custom startup logo in projector memory. If you need LOADLOGO.EXE, visit PolaroidÕs web site (www.polaroid.com/service/sfwdownload/index.html). ConÞguring the Remote MouseWindows 95 comes with standard serial or PS/2 mouse drivers that may not be compatible with the projectorÕs remote mouse. These drivers are most likely to be compatible with the Polaview 330 LCD projector: ¥ Microsoft serial mouse ¥ Microsoft PS/2 port mouse ¥ Logitech serial mouse ¥ Logitech PS/2 port mouse. To change to a Microsoft or Logitech mouse driver: Note:The Windows and menu choices that different manufacturers use sometimes vary greatly in appearance. The procedure below may not apply to all situations. Windows 951 Click on the Start button in the lower left-hand corner of the Windows 95 screen. Highlight Settings, and select Control Panel. 2 Double-click on the Mouse icon.
English 29 Advanced Configuration 3 In the Mouse Properties window, click on the General tab. Windows indicates the driver that is currently in use. 4 Click on the Change button. 5 Click on the Show All Devices radio button. 6 Under Manufacturers, select either Microsoft or Logitech. 7 Under Models, select either Microsoft Serial Mouse or Microsoft PS/2 Port Mouse or the Logitech Serial Mouse or Logitech PS/2 Port Mouse. 8 Click on OK, then click on Close. Windows 3.x1 Open the Program Manager Main group. 2 Run the Windows Setup program. 3 Pull down the Options menu and select Change System Settings. 4 In the Mouse dialogue box, click the down direction key and select the appropriate driver as described above. If the remote mouse still does not work correctly, use the IPSETUP.EXE program, on the included Polaview 330 Tools diskette, to install the IPOINT.EXE driver. Then, load the driver from the command line or from the Windows 95 Start Menu. If you need IPSETUP.EXE, visit PolaroidÕs web site (www.polaroid.com/service/sfwdownload/index.html). Note:The driver supplied by IPOINT.EXE is only present when the program is running. If you close the program, it no longer sends a driver to the serial port. It does not load automatically when you boot the system. You can load it automatically by installing it in the Windows 95 Start Menu and selecting ÒRun MinimizedÓ in the I-Point properties shortcut menu. Warning:Do not use IPOINT.EXE program to reconÞgure the mouse. There is no reset to bring the remote back to the original conÞguration. Using the Internal Pointer and Remote Mouse SimultaneouslyLaptop computers with an internal pointing device will usually work with both internal and external mouse control. To use the internal pointer and remote mouse simultaneously: 1 Set up the internal pointing device to use a PS/2 driver and load IPOINT.EXE to send a mouse driver to the serial port. 2 Use the procedure above for changing mouse drivers and select a PS/2 driver for the internal pointing device. Then connect the projectorÕs remote mouse interface cable to the computerÕs serial port. 3 Reboot the computer for the changes to take effect. Then install IPOINT.EXE, as described above, to use both the internal pointing device and the external mouse.
30 English Advanced Configuration Some computers require you to make changes in the BIOS to allow use of an external mouse or simultaneous use of both an internal and external mouse. If the internal pointing device and the external mouse do not work after following the steps above, see your computerÕs manual to determine how to make these changes in the BIOS. Possible Problem Using the Remote MouseA problem can occur while using Microsoft PowerPoint¨ . Each click of the left remote mouse button may show two slides. To correct this problem: 1 In Windows 95 or Windows 3.x, choose the Mouse icon from the Control Panel window. Windows displays a dialog box with a scroll arrow that determines the double-click speed. 2 Move the scroll arrow to the left to slow down the double-click speed. If this does not correct the problem, it may be due to ßuorescent lighting. In this case, shade the infrared receiver on the projector or turn down the lights in the room. Macintosh IssuesMost Macintosh computers require an adapter to connect the video output of the computer to the Polaview 330 LCD projector. Enhance CableÕs Liberty Lite adapter is included. This table shows Liberty Lite switch settings used to adapt to various display resolutions.

English 31 Advanced Configuration Macintosh computers use several methods to connect to an external monitor or projector. The following paragraphs describe the different models and methods used as of this printing. Macintosh PowerBook Series 140, 145, 145B, 150, 170These do not include video out support. Contact a third-party supplier for an interface adapter for these computers. The following companies supply the necessary adapters: ¥ Power-R Corporation 1-800-729-6970 ¥ GrifÞn Technologies 1-800-255-0990 ¥ Enhance Cable Technologies 1-800-343-2425 ¥ Novaid Tower Company 1-800-255-0990 Macintosh PowerBook Series 200, 230, 250, 280, 2300These systems must be connected to a docking station. The docking station has the external video out port that allows connection to the projector. Macintosh PowerBook 5300The PowerBook 5300 uses a Processor Direct Slop (PDS) to implement external video. This card provides an external connection for video at the back of the computer. It provides resolutions up to 832x624 at 256 colors. All 5300 series PowerBooks require a video adapter cable to connect to an external display. The part number is M3927LL/A*. For more information, call your local Macintosh dealer. The 5300ce provides SVGA (800x600) at thousands of colors for the internal display only. The external display is limited to 256 colors unless a third-party video card has been installed. Macintosh PowerBook Series 160, 165, 180, 185, 500, 520, 540These systems use Macintosh Video Mirroring to send an image to an external monitor or projector. To set up these systems: 1 Connect the Macintosh video cable supplied with your PowerBook to its external video out port. 2 Connect the switchable Macintosh adapter to the PowerBook video cable. 3 Connect the VGA cable to the Macintosh Adapter. 4 Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the projector. 5 Turn on the projector. 6 Turn on the Macintosh PowerBook. 7 From the Macintosh PowerBook desktop Apple symbol, choose Control Panel.
32 English Advanced Configuration 8 Choose Monitors in the Control Panel. Within the Monitors Setup screen you will see two center squares. They represent the internal display and the external monitor or projector. Each square has a number. The number 1 represents the primary display and the number 2 represents the secondary display. 9 The primary display square (1) contains a small menu bar. Drag this square to the secondary display square (2). You may also need to drag the Happy Macintosh icon onto the desired monitor. To see the Happy Macintosh icon, hold down the Option key while the MonitorÕs Control Panel is open. This change will switch the primary display (1), to the secondary display (2), activating the external video port and sending video to the projector. Note:You may need to restart the Macintosh PowerBook for the changes to take effect. Macintosh PowerBook 1400The PowerBook 1400 uses the ÒMonitors and SoundÓ Control Panel. When the Macintosh PowerBook computer recognizes a second monitor or projector, the ÒMonitors and SoundÓ Control Panel contains an Arrange button. To use the Mirroring feature: 1 Click on Arrange. A window below it shows an icon representing each monitor. 2 Drag one icon on top of the other. Macintosh PowerBook 3400 and G3The PowerBook 3400 and G3 have a standard DB9/15 VGA connector built into the backplane for an external video monitor or projector. It is capable of resolutions up to 1024x768. There is no Video Mirroring Control Panel. The mode of display called Simulscan can only display 800x600 at 60Hz (refresh rate) simultaneously. If the external monitor has any other resolution or refresh rate, the external monitor will be the only display available. Activating the Laptop External Video PortMost laptop computers have a method for activating the VGA external video port. To activate the VGA port on IBM-compatible laptop personal computers, use the function (Fn) key on the computerÕs keyboard with one of the regular function keys (for example, hold down the Fn key while pressing F12). Some laptop computers need to be rebooted to allow the computer to check for an attached external monitor, and then activate the external port. The following table describes, by computer manufacturer, how to activate the external video port. Some manufacturers have several models that require different activation methods; those methods are listed.
English 33 Advanced Configuration On some laptop computers, you need to use a separate setup menu to activate the external video port.
