InFocus DisplayLink Software
User’s Guide

DisplayLink makes projecting simple. Just connect your computer to the projector using the USB cable
and project. DisplayLink software automatically sends your computer’s video to the projector – no need

to activate your computer’s external video port or use a bulky VGA cable. Note: If your projector

supports it, DisplayLink also sends audio to your projector over the USB cable.

USB Cable Requirements and Wireless Support

For best results, use the USB cable included with your projector, or another high-quality USB 2.0 cable no
longer than 6’/2m. For longer cable runs up to
330’/100m, use the InFocus DisplayLink Extender – or for wireless
DisplayLink projection (Windows only, range up to 30’/10m), use the
InFocus Wireless DisplayLink Adapter instead of a cable. Both products are available at

www.infocus.com/store or from your InFocus dealer.

Installing DisplayLink Manager software

When you plug the USB cable into the projector’s DisplayLink connector and your computer for the first
time, the DisplayLink Manager software installer starts automatically. Follow the instructions on the
screen to install (if your computer warns you about running a program, you must allow the program to
run). Once installed, the DisplayLink Manager icon is added to the Windows taskbar, and shortcuts to the
software are added to the Start menu.
Note: You must have Administrator rights on the PC to install the software.

Using DisplayLink Manager software

Each time you start your computer with a projector connected, or connect a projector after your computer
is running, your computer’s desktop will be automatically displayed by the projector (if the projector is
turned on).

Also, the DisplayLink Manager icon will appear in the taskbar (near the clock). Point to the icon to see
projector status, or click the icon to access more features.

To access the following DisplayLink Manager features, click the DisplayLink Manager icon in the taskbar.
