Select or Start > All Programs or Programs >
EPSON Projector > Easy Interactive Driver. If you see

“EPSON Projector Software for Easy Interactive
Function”

You will need internet access.
If you are using Mac OS®X:
Look for the Easy Interactive Driver folder in the
Applications folder on your hard drive. If you see the
Easy Interactive Driver folder, the software is installed.
If Easy Interactive Driver is not installed, follow the steps

• Hold the pen at an angle, rather than perpendicular
to the board.
• Mac OS X: open the Applications folder, then
open the Easy Interactive Driver folder and

can use both pens and trade off. To learn more about
EID and the BrightLink pen, watch the videos we made
just for you on the included DVD. Or, sign up for a free
webinar at www.epson.com/eduresources.

4 Calibrate Your System
same
as
your
cusor
Calibration coordinates the positioning of the pen with
the location of your cursor. You can use either pen, and
you only have to calibrate once.*
Do one of the following:
1
• Windows: click the pen icon in the system
tray on your taskbar (lower right corner of
your screen), then select Calibrate (Normal).
• Mac OS X: click the pen icon in the Dock,
select Calibration from the menu bar at the top
of the screen, then select Calibrate (Normal).
Wait a few moments for the flashing green circle
3
to appear. Use the interactive pen to touch each
flashing green circle as it appears. Continue until all
the circles stop flashing and turn black.
• Touch the center of each circle, and make sure
you are not casting a shadow on the pen.
• Make sure you are not blocking the signal
between the pen and the interactive module.
• Do not press the button on the pen while
calibrating.
Note: If a red X appears on the icon, you won’t
be able to calibrate. Make sure the projector is
powered on and the USB cable from the interactive
module is securely connected to your computer.
After you read the following message, click OK.
2
Note: Advanced calibration is recommended
only if you are projecting highly detailed images.
• If you make a mistake, or if too many circles
appear at the same time, press Esc on your
computer keyboard and restart calibration.
*Tip: You don’t have to recalibrate unless you do
one of the following:
• Connect a different computer that has a different
screen size
• Change the resolution of your monitor
• Notice that the pen position is no longer the
same as your cusor
Congratulations! When you finish calibration, you’re
ready to explore your software options, as described
on the next page.

5 Explore Additional Software Options
Easy Interactive Driver allows you to use the BrightLink
pen as a mouse. For annotating, you need additional
software. If you already have annotation software, you
can use it with BrightLink.
You can also use one of the following:
• Easy Interactive Tools (EIT), free from Epson, is a
basic annotation program available for download from
the Epson website. Click the link on your desktop or
go to epson.com/brightlinkdownloads (U.S.) or
epson.ca/brightlinkdownloads (Canada).
• TeamBoard Draw, a more intermediate level
annotation program, is included with your projector.
You can install it from the CD that came with your
BrightLink, or download it from the Epson website at
epson.com/brightlinkdownloads (U.S.) or epson.
ca/brightlinkdownloads (Canada).
You will need Internet access and your product serial
number to download TeamBoard Draw. Press the Menu
button on the remote control and select the Info menu to
see your serial number. (For BrightLink Solo, the serial
