Note

The Training Mode is not installed via the "Typical" installation option when Image Express
Utility 2.0 is installed.
To use Training Mode, select "Extension" installation option on the install selection screen
that is displayed while Image Express Utility 2.0 installation is in progress, and select "Training

■ Desktop Control Utility 1.0

( page 30)

Desktop Control Utility 1.0 is software that operates the desktop screen of a personal computer
at a remote location from the projector by using a network.

● A commercially available USB mouse is connected to the projector to operate the personal
computer.

● Suppose, for example, a PowerPoint file to be presented in a conference is saved to a
personal computer in your office. If this personal computer is connected to the projector in
the conference room with LAN when the conference is held, the desktop screen of the
personal computer in your office (Windows XP/Windows 2000) can be projected and the
Power-Point file can be presented by operating the projector. In other words the personal
computer does not need to be brought into the conference room.
