The image from your connected laptop computer isn’t projected
Laptop computer settings can interfere with projector operations.
Some laptop computers deactivate their screens when you connect a secondary display device.
Refer to your computers manual for details on reactivating the computer's display screen.
Unaligned projected image
Alignment errors occur when the projected image isn’t perpendicular to the screen. Alignment errors
can occur when you mount your interactive whiteboard system on an uneven surface or a wall that
has obstructions, or if you swivel the projector too far from the vertical center of your interactive
whiteboard.
Use the instructions in the included SMARTBoard 885ixe-SMP interactive whiteboard system
installation guide (smarttech.com/kb/157628) to eliminate most image alignment issues.
The projector image can slip if the projector is moved often or installed in a location prone to vibration,
such as next to a heavy door. Follow these precautions to help prevent the image from becoming
misaligned:
lMake sure that the installation wall is plumb and square and doesn’t move or vibrate
excessively.
