Caution: Turn power off to all devices before making connections. Never plug anything into the projector or computer while any device is in operation.
The MP8640 must be powered down when making connections. The mouse emulation may not work if the unit is not powered down before the mouse cable connections are made.
2.3.1Apple™ Desktop Mouse - The Macintosh operating system should recognize the MP8640 as a mouse without any drivers being loaded.
Virtual Mouse for PCs - Setting up for most personal computers (IBM™ compatible). When setting up the virtual mouse function on the projector, the following must be done, if the operating system fails to recognize the projector as a mouse:
•Change mouse driver information to "Serial Mouse" or "PS/2 Mouse."
Windows™ 95 - Click "Start"; select "Settings"; select "Control Panel". Click on "Mouse"; select the "General" tab; (see what driver is currently loaded and make note of it); select "Change"; select "Show all devices"; (make note of the current Manufacturer and Model); select "Standard Mouse Type"
for Manufacturer; then select "Standard Serial Mouse" or "Standard PS/2 Mouse." Click OK to change and apply the new driver. Restart Windows when prompted.
Windows™ 3.1 - From "Program Manager" click "Main"; then click "Windows Setup", (make note of what the current mouse driver is); Click "Options"; then "Change Systems Settings". Choose "Mouse". It should be listed as "Microsoft or IBM PS/2".
Note: Always remember, once all PC settings have been made, turn the projector on FIRST, then turn on and boot the PC/laptop.
For some laptop computers you may need to disable the internal pointing device (IPD). This is done through the BIOS level set up of the particular machine, or it could be listed in a "Utilities" program group, i.e., "Toshiba Utilities™ ," or "Thinkpad Utilities™ ."
