Driver and Easy Interactive Tools folders in the
Application folder on your hard drive. If you see these
folders, the Easy Interactive software is installed.
If you are using Windows:
Windows 8.x - Navigate to the Apps screen and select
Easy Interactive Tools Ver. 3.00.
All other versions - Select or Start > All Programs
or Programs > EPSON Projector > Easy Interactive
Tools Ver. 3. If you see Easy Interactive Tools Ver. 3, the
software is installed.
If the software is not installed, do one of the following to
install it:
• Use the CD that came with the projector, labeled
“EPSON Projector Software for Easy Interactive
Function”
Display an image from your computer. If the image

F7 or the function key that lets you display on
an external monitor. It may have an icon such as

• On a Mac, you may need to open System
Preferences and select Displays. Select the
