Using the Wireless Utility

■ Displaying a computer’s screen via the projector

1 Launch the Wireless Utility software application.

When the Wireless Utility launches, the Screen image transmission mode window appears on the computer screen.

To switch to the Screen image transmission mode window from another mode (File or Document camera), click on the Screen image

icon .

2Select Transmission mode.

Click on Update automatically or Update manually. See step 6 for the meanings of Update automatically and Update manually.

3Click on the Advanced button.

The Screen Image: Advanced Settings dialog appears. Set the dialog as shown below, as necessary.

•Interruption

Check the No Interruptions checkbox to prevent other computers from interrupting the projector, for example, during presentation in the Update automatically mode.

•Window

Select the Place in Tasktray at the start of transmission checkbox to iconify the Wireless Utility and place it in the computer’s tasktray when transmission initiated.

To display the window, double click on this icon, or right click and select Open from the popup menu. Even with the Wireless Utility window minimized, you can use the pop-up menu to stop or resume transmission as described in step 4 and later

•Mode

Selecting High quality improves the quality of the projected image, but lowers communication

speed. Selecting High speed has the opposite effect.

4Select the screen image you wish

the projector to display.

Select Desktop

The computer screen image is transmitted as-is.

Select application window

Select a running application (e.g. Microsoft® PowerPoint®), and send that application’s window only.

The desktop and a list of running applications are displayed. Select the desired application from this list. (If the desired application is not on the list, launch it. Note that if too many applications are running, it will consume the computer’s resources, which could slow communication speed.)

5Select the projector to be

transmitted.

The IDs of projectors accessible for communication will be listed. (When a projector name is set, that name appears instead of MAC address.) Select the checkbox of the projector you wish to transmit to

from this list. Then icon is displayed on the projector’s screen for few seconds.

It is possible to select up-to four projectors.

6Click on the button.

When “Update automatically” is selected in step 2

Screen images are sent consecutively after the button is clicked.

When “Update manually” is selected in step 2

A single screen image is sent when the button is clicked.

7To halt transmission from Update automatically, click on the

button.

If the Wireless Utility icon has been placed in the tasktray, double click on the icon to display the window, then halt transmission, or right click on the icon, and halt transmission.

Notes

•It may not be possible to transmit the images from movie player or other video applications.

•When using “Update automatically”, the transmitted image refresh rate depends on the performance of the computer you are using and the surrounding radio wave environment.

•The projector screen may have a few differences from the computer screen.

•It is not possible to transmit to a projector that is already receiving from another computer.

•If you selected application window in step 4 , if that application is not active (in use), the image may not be correctly displayed by the projector.

•The projector ID is the MAC address of the wireless LAN PC card inserted into the projector.
