Thank you for choosing 3M™ equipment. This product has been produced in accordance
with 3M’s highest quality and safety standards to ensure smooth and troublefree use in the
years to come.
For optimum performance, please follow the operating instructions carefully. We hope you

The use of other replacement lamps, outdoor operation, or different voltages has not been
tested and could damage the projector or peripheral equipment and/or create a potentially
unsafe operating condition.
3M Digital WallDisplay Systems are designed to operate in a normal office environment.
• 16° to 29° C (60° to 85° F)
• 10 to 80% RH (without condensation)
• 0 to 1828 m (0 to 6000 feet) above sea level
The ambient operating environment should be free of airborne smoke, grease, oil and other
contaminants that can affect the operation or performance of the 3M Digital WallDisplay.
Use of this product in adverse conditions will void the product warranty.

USING 3M™ DIGITAL WALLDISPLAY WITH IDEABOARD
Copyboard Mode
This mode lets the 3M Digital WallDisplay unit capture all the data from the screen and print it
to a printer connected directly to the 3M Digital WallDisplay. No computer is needed to run this
system. This mode should be used without projection.
Note: 3M Digital WallDisplay with the Ideaboard Digital White Board option is compatible
only with the printers listed on Appendix page 81.
Whiteboard Mode
You can use this mode without projection, to function as an electronic whiteboard. You can save,
print to a PC or networked printer (but not the printer connected to the 3M Digital WallDisplay),
and share the meeting over a network. It is not recommended to run projection in this mode
because you will see the data from the projector and the writing on the screen at the same time.
The
Print button on this system will work the same as the Print command from the menu
system, and the Clear button will start a new page.
Projection Mode
The second way to use Ideaboard with a computer is in Projection mode. In this mode, your
computer’s desktop is projected on the 3M Digital WallDisplay screen and the Ideaboard system
can be used as a touch screen. For this mode, use the Digital Mouse stylus insert instead of the
dry-erase markers. The stylus is used the same way a mouse is used on a PC (including the
right-click function), but the
Print and Clear buttons will have no effect.
GETTING STARTED
Assembling Digital Markers
The 3M Digital WallDisplay with Ideaboard recognizes dry-erase marker writing by
signalling the marker’s exact location to the bezel. These signals are created and transmitted by
small sensors near the ends of the battery-powered marker sleeves.
To prepare the digital markers:
1. Unscrew the end cap on the marker sleeve, turning it counterclockwise. Insert two
coin batteries (CR2032), with the positive (+) side up. Screw the end cap back on,
clockwise.
2. Press the ridged release button on the side of the marker sleeve, beneath the clip, to
open the marker compartment.
CAUTION
These batteries contain lithium. Consult your local hazardous
waste regulations and dispose of these batteries in the proper
manner.
33
3. Remove the cap from a bullet-tip dry-erase marker. Be sure the marker color matches
the color ring on the marker sleeve. Insert the marker into the eBeam sleeve. Close
the marker compartment.
Note: The eBeam Software detects the color of the marker sleeve, not the color of the
marker inside it, unless specifically changed (refer to page 47). Normal pressure
on the marker as you write on the 3M Digital WallDisplay screen sends a “writing”
signal in that sleeve’s designated color.
4. Cap the marker sleeve to keep the marker tip from drying out, just as you would with
any other type of marker. The cap also prevents sending signals when not in use.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for all other marker sleeves.
Note: The signal transmitter in the digital sleeve is located just behind the tip of the marker.
Grasp the sleeve by the main barrel so your fingers will not block the signal.
Assembling Digital Eraser
The Ideaboard digital eraser erases marker input by sending signals from the digital eraser in the
same way as the digital markers. The eraser sends an “erase” signal when you press the felt
eraser against the 3M Digital WallDisplay screen.
Remove the battery cover on the top of the digital eraser by twisting a coin counterclockwise in
the slot. Insert two coin batteries (CR2032), with the positive (+) side up. Screw the cover back
on.

CAUTION
These batteries contain lithium. Consult your local hazardous

COPYBOARD MODE
1. Make sure the Master Power Switch is on and that the 3M™ Digital WallDisplay is
plugged in.
The
On/Off Button does not need to be turned on.
2. Use the digital markers to write on the board.
Use the digital eraser or cloth to erase any markings.
A printer will need to be plugged in to the printer port for direct print option.
3. Press the top bezel button to print.
4. Press the bottom bezel button to clear the page and any information stored in the buffer.

USING WHITEBOARD MODE AND PROJECTION MODE TOGETHER
Because eBeam Software’s Projection mode allows you to open any application on your computer, you can also open eBeam Software’s meeting application and use the Whiteboard mode and
Projection mode together.
When you attempt to open eBeam Software’s Meeting application, a dialog box appears asking
whether you want to use the eBeam hardware in Whiteboard mode or Projection mode. Choose
Projection mode.
Once eBeam Software’s Meeting application opens on your projected desktop, you can use the
Annotation Tools (with the digital marker and stylus) to draw or annotate within the whiteboard
mode application. You are also able to share or join a shared meeting (see Hosting/Sharing a
Meeting
and Joining a Meeting).
A useful presentation idea is to use the
Background Images feature in eBeam Software’s
Meeting application while in eBeam Software’s Projection mode. You can load a series of background images into eBeam Software’s Meeting application, which is then displayed on the whiteboard. In addition, you can share the eBeam Software meeting, which will then display your
background images to remote participants at the same time.
UNABLE TO DETECT THE HARDWARE
If eBeam Software is unable to detect the hardware, a Detect eBeam dialog box opens with the
message: “eBeam not detected.” This dialog box displays a list of available ports, and which

Using Annotation Tools During a Shared Meeting
During an online meeting (see Shared Meetings), connected participants can create annotations
to the meeting which are visible to all other participants in the meeting.
If the meeting is not synchronized by the meeting host, and the participant has not been set to
View-Only, the participant may annotate on any page in the meeting. See What Can the
Meeting Coordinator/Host Do?
and What Can a Meeting Participant Do?
If the meeting is synchronized by the meeting host, the participant is restricted to annotating
only on the displayed page.
If the participant has been set to
View-Only by the meeting host, the participant cannot annotate
the meeting. The Zoom tool is always available, but zooming in/out of a page is not visible to
other participants.
PLAY CONTROLS
The Play Controls toolbar allows you to replay the meeting like a movie. The meeting can then
be played forward, line by line, at varying speeds. Playback can be restricted to either the current page, or set to play all pages.
Some uses for the
Play Controls:
•Viewing the meeting chain of events.
• Branching, which returns the meeting to a specific point and then duplicates the page.
The duplicated page will create a new page with meeting data to the selected endpoint,
allowing you to explore a different idea without manually duplicating previous work, and
keeping the original page intact.

SHARED MEETINGS
What Is an eBeam Meeting?
An eBeam meeting is a collection of notes and annotations which may consist of a single page
or multiple pages. In either case, all pages contained in one eBeam Software’s Meeting application (*.wbd) file.
A single meeting may have one or more participants who are sitting in one room using eBeam to
capture notes and diagrams. Asingle meeting may also have participants who are located in
other locations, such as another floor in your building, another state, or even another country.
What Is a Shared Meeting?
A shared eBeam meeting is a meeting that is broadcast over your local intranet or over the
World Wide Web (Internet).
At one location, the meeting coordinator/host uses the eBeam system (software and hardware) to
broadcast the meeting over the network (see
Hosting/Sharing a Meeting). Remote participants
use eBeam Software’s Meeting application or a web browser to log into the meeting (see
Joining a Meeting).
OPERATOR’S GUIDE
3 M™ DIGITAL WALLDISPLAY
56
The meeting is broadcast in real time, which means that remote participants see the lines as they
are drawn.
If the meeting coordinator/host allows participants this option, participants can annotate meeting
pages, highlighting important points, and adding notes that can be seen by all other participants
as well as the host.
To allow remote participants (located outside of your local network firewall) to access your
shared meeting, the meeting server must be located on the Internet. EFI currently hosts a meeting server that may be used by any eBeam system user.
Hosting/Sharing a Meeting
The following explains how to host/share a meeting over your local intranet or the Internet. If
you share the meeting on your local intranet, only people within your intranet can access the
meeting. If you share your meeting over the Internet (using the EFI server), participants from
any Internet location can access your meeting.
To share a meeting, you must be connected to the eBeam hardware.
To host a shared meeting:
1. Choose
Share Meeting from the Meetings menu or the Share Meeting button from the
Application Toolbar.
The Share Meeting dialog box opens.
2. Under Meeting Information, enter:
• Meeting Name. The meeting name is the name shown in the Join Meeting dialog box.
The meeting name is saved as the default name for subsequent meetings, until you

beforehand and manually type it into the
Join Meeting dialog box.
• Password/Confirm/Use Password. If a password is required, check the Use
Password
check box and type the same password into both the Password and
Confirm text boxes.
The password must be at least 6 characters, and can be up to 20 characters.

What Can the Meeting Coordinator/Host Do?
The meeting coordinator/host is the person responsible for setting up and broadcasting the
shared meeting.
In the course of the shared meeting, the meeting coordinator/host can do anything eBeam
Software’s Meeting application can do: draw whiteboard strokes, create annotations, create new
pages, delete pages, etc.
When the coordinator/host closes a shared meeting, all participants are disconnected. As the
meeting coordinator/host, make sure the meeting is completely over before attempting to close
the meeting.
The following special features allow the meeting coordinator/host to control the shared meeting:
Synchronize Forces all participants to view the same page as the meeting
coordinator/host. If Synchronize is disabled, remote participants can view any page they wish during the meeting. If
Synchronize is enabled, remote participants are unable to
change the pages. However, if Synchronize is enabled, remote
participants can annotate pages.
The Synchronize feature is located in the Meetings menu. A
check mark indicates that Synchronize is enabled.
A Synchronize button is also available on the Page View tool
bar (see Views and the View-Change Buttons). When
Synchronize is enabled, the button is depressed.
Set View Only Allows the coordinator to mute one or more of the remote
participants.
When a particular remote participant is muted, the participant
cannot add annotations to the meeting page (see Annotation
Tools). However, the participant can still type comments into
the Participants/Chat View (See Views and the View-Change
Buttons).
The meeting coordinator/host cannot be muted.
Set View Only can be accessed from the Meetings menu or the

eBEAM SOFTWARE’S PROJECTION MODE
eBeam Software’s Projection mode turns your 3M Digital WallDisplay into a virtual touch
screen. Projection mode is best used as a presentation device, which allows you to open, close,
and show anything you need directly from the 3M Digital WallDisplay, instead of having to
walk between your computer and 3M Digital WallDisplay whenever you need to change something.
The eBeam system and the 3M Digital WallDisplay connect to your computer. The 3M Digital
WallDisplay projects your computer desktop onto the whiteboard and the eBeam system detects
when you touch the board, allowing a digital marker (using the Digital Mouse stylus insert) to
act as a virtual mouse which controls your computer’s desktop.
The purpose of Projection mode is to operate your computer directly from the 3M Digital
WallDisplay screen. In Projection mode, you can:
• Open, work in, and close applications.
• Draw freehand in painting and drawing applications.
• Run eBeam Software’s Meeting application directly from the whiteboard, including
sharing meetings while controlling the entire meeting directly from the whiteboard.
• Annotate over the top of your desktop using the
Projection Toolbar (see Annotating
Your Desktop).
In Projection mode, a tap of the digital marker on the 3M Digital WallDisplay screen simulates a
mouse click on your computer desktop. You can open, close, annotate, and save in an application from the whiteboard just as you would in front of your computer.
A Digital Mouse stylus is provided with your Digital White Board kit. The stylus is a plastic
insert which fits into any digital marker sleeve and allows you to use the digital marker as a
point-and-click device, instead of as a marker. This is useful during a presentation when you
wish to select different areas of the projected screen, without leaving dry-erase marker marks on
the whiteboard.
Projection Toolbar
The Projection Toolbar is used to control the most commonly used functions when in eBeam
Software’s Projection mode.
The following functions can be accessed from the
Projection Toolbar.

Annotating Your Desktop
eBeam Software’s Projection mode allows you to annotate your computer desktop. You open the
Screen Annotation toolbar from the Projection Toolbar, which can be accessed from eBeam’s
system tray menu.
It is important to understand that once the
Screen Annotation toolbar appears, eBeam Software
is in a screen annotation mode, which means the following:
•You can annotate anywhere on the desktop using tools from the
Screen Annotation
toolbar.
•You can
Save to a bitmap file, Print, or Copy to the system clipboard annotations
that you have created.
•You cannot open applications or use any of your computer’s other functions/features. This
is because the screen annotation mode takes a snapshot of your desktop and then puts the
snapshot on top of your computer desktop for you to draw on. You draw on the snapshot
layer, and the desktop itself remains protected under the layer. To exit screen annotation
mode and go back to using your computer’s other functions, you simply click the
Exit
button on the Screen Annotation toolbar.
The following tools are provided on the
Screen Annotation toolbar:
