Connections with the Personal Computer

When the Image of the Personal Computer Screen Is Not Projected

Please check the matters described below when the image of the personal computer is not projected or when there is projection but the image is not correct.

●The image is not projected

When the external output signal from the personal computer is not input to the iP-40, "No computer signal being input" is displayed on the display screen of the iP-40. Should this occur, please check the following matters.

1Try restarting the personal computer.

When the iP-40 is connected after the personal computer has been started, the connection of the iP-40 might not be recognized by the personal computer. When the iP-40 has not been recognized, the external output signal from the personal computer will not be output and there will not be an image to project.

2Check the functions of the personal computer.

Depending on the notebook computer, some computers will require an operation to output a signal from the external output connector. If this operation is not performed, the external output signal from the notebook computer will not be output. Please see the instruction manual of the notebook computer you are using and perform the operation that will output the signal from the external output connector.

(Operation Example)

IBM PC/AT and DOS/V computers:

Press the [Fn] key + "any one of the [F1] to [F12] keys (noting that the operation will differ depending on the model)"

PC98 notebook computers later than the Nr Series (with the exception of the PC-98NX):

Press the "Suspend Resume" switch.

●The screen of the personal computer is correct, but the image is not projected properly

Please check the functions of the personal computer.

Even though the LCD screen of the notebook computer is properly displayed, the projected image might not be projected properly. Due to restrictions of the notebook computer there will rarely be instances in which the setting of a simultaneous display (i.e., simultaneous output of the external output signal while displaying the screen of the personal computer) will result in a signal that greatly deviates from the range supported by the iP-40 and proper projection will not be possible.

Should this occur, a proper image will not be obtained even when adjustments are made with the iP-40.

In some instances, the personal computer screen will be properly projected by the iP-40 when the simultaneous display is cancelled and an operation is performed to output only the external output signal. Please see the instruction manual of the notebook computer you are using for details.
