Performing a Presentation using a Wireless LAN

(Projecting Computer Screen Contents Over a Wireless LAN)

Wireless LAN lets you establish a connection between the Data Projector and a computer without using a cable, and project the computer’s display contents with the Data Projector.

Important!

z Note that only shots of your computer screen can be sent from your computer to the

Data Projector over a wireless LAN connection. Audio data cannot be sent.

z The procedure below assumes that the Data Projector’s plug-and-play feature is turned

on (which is the initial default setting). If you have turned off plug-and-play, turn it back on before performing the procedure below. For details about configuring plugand-play settings, see “Setup Menu Contents” in the User’s Guide that comes with the Data Projector.

z If you are running Wireless Connection 2 under Windows Vista, do not perform any

of the operations that display the “User Account Control” message (such as software installation, new hardware connection, etc.) while there is no connection between the computer and Data Projector.

Requirements for Wireless LAN Connection

The following devices and software are required to establish a wireless LAN connection between the Data Projector and a computer.

Establishing a Wireless LAN Connection between the XJ-S35/YP-100 and a Computer

Note the following precautions when trying to establish a wireless LAN connection between the XJ-S35/YP-100 and a computer.

z The XJ-S35/YP-100 comes with Wireless Connection, which is a previous version of the

wireless connection software. Do not try to perform the procedures in this manual using the older version of Wireless Connection. Be sure to install Wireless Connection 2, which is the newest version, on your computer.

z The XJ-S35/YP-100 does not have manual connection (page 7) initial values registered.

Before performing the procedures in this manual, it is recommended that you first use the procedure under “Sending Settings from a Computer to the Data Projector” (page 34) to send Manual Connection 1, Manual Connection 2, and Manual Connection 3 connection profile settings from your computer to the projector.

Connection Profiles

The Data Projector has two types of connection profiles named “simple connection” (1, 2, and 3) and “manual connection” (1, 2, and 3).

You should use a simple connection profile to establish a wireless LAN connection between the Data Projector and a single computer using initial default settings. You can use a manual connection profile to change the initial default settings and establish a wireless LAN connection between the Data Projector and up to four computers.

When you want to do this: Refer to this section of this manual:

Use a simple connection profile to connect the Data Projector and one or more computers

Use a manual connection profile to connect the Data Projector and one or more computers

Modify manual connection profile initial default settings

“Using a Simple Connection Profile for a Wireless LAN Connection between the Data Projector and a Single Computer” (page 9)

“Using a Manual Connection Profile for Wireless LAN Connection between the Data Projector and One or More Computers” (page 11)

“Advanced Wireless LAN Connection Settings” (page 20)

Starting Up and Exiting Wireless Connection 2

To establish a wireless LAN connection between a computer and the Data Projector, Wireless Connection 2 must be running on the computer.

To start up Wireless Connection 2

Perform either of the following operations to start up Wireless Connection 2 on the computer.

• Double-click the icon on your Windows desktop.

• On your computer’s Windows Start menu, select [All Programs] - [CASIO] - [Wireless

Connection 2].

Important!

If your computer is running Windows Vista, starting up Wireless Connection 2 will cause the “User Account Control” message to appear. When it does, click “Allow”.

To exit Wireless Connection 2

Perform either of the following operations.

• On the Wireless Connection 2 window, select [Connection] - [Exit].

• Click the [×] button in the upper right corner of the Wireless Connection 2 window.

Limitations on Wireless LAN Connection Using Wireless Connection 2

The restrictions described below apply whenever using Wireless Connection 2 for wireless LAN connection.

z When using Wireless Connection 2 for wireless LAN connection with a previous projector

model (XJ-S35 or YP-100), local conditions may result in unstable connection or even make connection impossible. Supplementary information is available on the CASIO website at: (http://world.casio.com/projector/support/en/)

z If your computer is running Windows Vista, the wireless LAN connection data rate may

slow down if you have Windows Aero™ enabled. If this happens, disable Windows Aero™.

Using a Simple Connection Profile for a Wireless LAN Connection between the Data Projector and a Single Computer

The following procedure uses the preset Simple Connection 1 connection profile to establish a wireless LAN connection between the Data Projector and a single computer for the first time.

To establish a wireless LAN connection between a single computer and the Data Projector

Turn on the Data Projector.

z Wait until the Data Projector’s POWER/STANDBY indicator is lit green.

Connect the CASIO YW-2 wireless adapter to the Data Projector’s USB port.

z You also can connect the wireless adapter to the Data Projector before turning on the

Data Projector.

z The Data Projector will detect the wireless adapter and start up its Wireless function

automatically. The message shown below will appear in the projection area.

Check to make sure that “Simple Connection 1” is shown.

Turn on your computer and start up Windows.

On your computer, start up Wireless Connection 2.

z If your computer is running Windows Vista, starting up Wireless Connection 2 will cause

the “User Account Control” message to appear. When it does, click “Allow”.

z If the “Select Network” dialog box like the one shown below appears, click the wireless

LAN adapter you want to use for connection with the Data Projector and then click the [OK] button.

existing network” check box.

Wait until the “Connect” dialog box like the one shown below appears.

z If your computer is running Windows Vista and the “Set Network Location” dialog box

appears, click [Cancel] to close it.

z The above dialog box will close when the computer finds the Data Projector. Next, the

Wireless Connection 2 window will appear on the computer’s display.

z Computer display contents will appear automatically on the projection screen. z For details about Wireless Connection 2 window operations and Data Projector remote

controller operations you can perform after establishing a connection, see “Using Wireless LAN for Projection” (page 50).

To terminate the wireless LAN connection between the computer and the Data

Projector, exit Wireless Connection 2.

Using a Manual Connection Profile for Wireless LAN Connection between the Data Projector and One or More Computers

First Wireless LAN Connection between the Data Projector and Four Computers

The following procedure uses the initial default settings of the Manual Connection 1 connection profile to establish wireless LAN connections between the Data Projector and four computers for the first time.

Important!

z The XJ-S35/YP-100 does not have manual connection initial values registered. Before

performing the following procedure, use the procedure under “Sending Settings from a Computer to the Data Projector” (page 34) to send Manual Connection 1 profile settings from your computer to the projector.

z You should use Wireless Connection 2 on all of the computers connecting to the

Data Projector. Do not use an older version of Wireless Connection.

To change the Data Projector connection profile to Manual Connection 1

message on the projection screen.

On the Data Projector’s remote controller, press the [] key.

z This will cause the connection profile menu to appear in the projection area.

Press the [T] key three times to move the highlighting to “Manual Connection

1” and then press the [ENTER] key.

z This will display a connection profile change confirmation dialog box.

Press the [S] key to move the highlighting to “Yes” and then press the [ENTER]

key.

z This will close the confirmation dialog box and return to the “Standing by for

connection...” message.

z Next, perform the procedure under “To establish a wireless LAN connection with Manual

Connection 1 between the first computer and the Data Projector” below.

To establish a wireless LAN connection with Manual Connection 1 between the first computer and the Data Projector

On your computer, start up Wireless Connection 2.
