Introduction
The IBM iL2120 and iL2220 multimedia projectors are specifically designed for
multipurpose use. They generate crisp, clear images using Digital Light
Processing
™
(DLP) technology, and feature an M1-DA connector for easy,
built-in digital/analog and USB connectivity. They are easy to connect, easy to
use, easy to transport, and easy to maintain. The iL2120 has native SVGA 800
x 600 resolution, the iL2220 has XGA 1024 x 768 resolution. The user-interfaces
of the two products are identical; information in this user’s guide applies to
both products.
The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video standards:
NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60, and SECAM. It automatically
adjusts to optimize its performance for the incoming video.
Image resolution

lights green, and the startup screen appears. It takes about one minute
for the image to achieve full brightness.
4. If you connected a video player, turn it on.
v The video image displays on the projection screen. If a computer source
is active, press the source button on the keypad (page 22) or the video
button on the remote control to display your video image. You can
select a default source to determine which source the projector examines
first during power-up for active video; see “Default source” on page 23.
v Use the volume buttons to adjust the volume.
5. Turn on your computer.
Note: With some computers, the order in which you turn on the

of the projector. To open the menus, press the Menu button on the
keypad or remote control, then select the Display or Image submenu.
For information about the menus, see “Using the on-screen menus” on
page 16.
Turning off the projector
If you want to turn off the projector for a short period of time, press the
Standby button on the keypad or remote control. This removes the image
from the screen for 15 minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You can
change the amount of time the projector stays in standby mode; see “Standby
time” on page 23 for details.) After 15 minutes, the lamp turns off and the
projector keeps running. To exit from standby mode, press the Standby button
again. It might take several seconds for the projection lamp to reach full
power and project the image again.
Note: To maximize lamp life, allow the projector to run for at least five
minutes before turning it off.
Using the projector
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the projector. It
also provides a reference to the keypad and remote-control buttons and the
options that are available from the on-screen menus.
Installation and user’s guide 11
Basic image adjustment
To adjust the image, do the following:
v Make sure you have turned on your equipment in the right order (see
“Starting up the projector and adjusting the image” on page 10).
v If the image is not displayed completely, zoom the image (see “Adjusting
the projector” on page 14), adjust the height of the projector or center the
image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position (see page 22). Be sure
that the projector is at a 90-degree angle to the screen.
1. If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (see “Adjusting the
projector” on page 14).
2. If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical bars after you
have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image (see page 20) off and then on
again to reset the automatic sync and tracking option. If that does not
clear up the image, turn Auto Image off, and adjust the Manual sync (see
page 21), tracking (page 21) or both.
3. If the colors do not display correctly, adjust the brightness (see page 18).
Using the remote control
To control the computer mouse from the projector remote or keypad, you
must connect the USB mouse connector on the computer cable to the
computer.
The projector comes with a remote that has four function buttons, a disk
mouse and two mouse buttons, (one on the top of the remote and one on the
bottom).
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of the projector
(not at the computer). The range for optimum operation is approximately 25
feet. If you point the remote control at the projection screen, the distance to
the screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25 feet. For
best results, point the remote control directly at the projector.
12 iL2120 IBM Value Data/Video Projector, iL2220 Conference Room Data/Video Projector: User’s Guide
Note: If the remote control is inactive for several minutes, it “sleeps” to
conserve battery life. Press any button except the disk mouse to
reactivate the remote control.
