Using LP Utilities

The LitePro 580 projector provides even greater ease of use with LP

Utilities, which include two software programs: LP-Link and LP

Remote Programmer.

LP-Link allows you to operate the projector directly from the computer.

LP Remote Programmer allows you to use the trackball and five programmable buttons on the remote control to operate the presentation software and control projector functions. To use these utilities you must connect your computer to the projector with the LP serial cable and run the LP Utility software.

Connecting your computer

To connect the projector and your computer, use the LitePro Utilities serial cable (and adapter if needed) provided with the projector.

1.Turn off your computer, monitor, and LitePro projector.

2.Plug the round, 8-pin connector of the LP serial cable into the LP Serial port on the projector.

3.Plug the other end of the LP serial cable into the serial port on the computer. For a Macintosh, attach the Mac adapter to the serial cable and plug it in the modem or printer port.

If your IBM-compatible has only a 25-pin serial port, you will need a 25-pin serial adapter. This adapter is available at most computer supply stores.
