3 Launch Easy Interactive Driver
1 Look for the pen icon in lower right corner of your
screen (Windows) or in the Dock (Mac OS).
• If you don’t see the icon in Windows, you may need
to click the arrow(s) to show hidden icons.
Click if necessary
• If a red X appears on the icon , the computer
and projector may not be connected correctly. Make
sure the projector is powered on and the USB cable
is connected to your computer.
2 If you don’t see the icon, make sure you have the
program on your computer. Do one of the following to
check:
Make sure the batteries are installed in the
interactive pens. Your BrightLink came with

Battery indicator light
Button
• Mac OS X: open the Applications folder, then open
the Easy Interactive Driver folder and select the
Easy Interactive Driver icon.
• Hold the pen at an angle, rather than
perpendicular to the board.
• To left-click, tap on the board.
• To double-click, tap twice.
• To right-click, press and hold the button on the
pen, then tap the board.
• To click and drag, tap and drag with the pen.
If you use the pens for several hours every day,
you may have to recharge the batteries once a
week. If you use them less often, you may only
have to recharge once a month.
Tip: You can only write with one pen at a time,
but you 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.

4 Calibrate Your System
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.
1 Do one of the following:
• 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).
3 Wait a few moments for the fl ashing green circle
to appear. Use the interactive pen to touch each
fl ashing green circle as it appears. Continue until
all the circles stop fl ashing and turn black.
• Touch the center of each circle, and make
sure you are not casting a shadow on the
pen.
• If you make a mistake, or if too many circles
appear at the same time, press Esc on your
computer keyboard and restart calibration.
Note: If the pen icon appears with a red X ,
you won’t be able to calibrate. Make sure the
projector is powered on and the USB cable is
connected to your computer.
2 After you read the following message, click OK.
Note: Advanced calibration is recommended
only if you are projecting highly detailed images.
Tip: You only need to recalibrate if you change
computers, or if you notice that the pen position
is no longer the same as your cursor.
Congratulations! When you fi nish calibration, you’re
ready to explore your software options, as described
on the next page.
