How to use the pointer and pen
Pointer
Before using the pointer
Screw the long rod into the body of the pointer until it is secure.
Install batteries. (See page 4)
Infrared Emitter
How to use the pointer
While pressing the button, when the LED lamp lights, the
infrared ray LED at the end of the rod also lights. This is sensed by
the infrared ray sensor on the front of the projector, and the location
of the tip of the pointer is detected.
Procedures for use:
1) Place the tip of the pointer anywhere on the screen.
2) Pressing the button once has the same function as
left-clicking a mouse. Press and hold the button to drag. In pen
mode, you can draw lines.
On status will consume battery power. When not in use, press the power button to turn the power off. (Press the
button to conrm that the LED does not light.)

How to use the pen
While pressing the tip against a hard screen, the tip of the pen and
the LED for the internal infrared ray will both light. This is
sensed by the infrared ray sensor on the front of the projector, and
the location of the tip of the pen is detected.
Procedures for use:
1) Place the tip of the pen anywhere on the screen.
2) By pressing the tip against a hard screen, you can drag.
In pen mode, you can draw lines.
Since there is a touch sensor inside the tip of the pen, pushing or bending the tip will consume battery power. In
order to prevent unnecessary battery consumption when not in use, press the power button to turn the power off.
(Press the tip of the pen to conrm that the LED does not light.)

Troubleshooting
Q1. There is a "LightPenII cannot be found" message.
A: Check the following things.
1. Conrm that the USB cable is connected securely and that the USB port is functioning properly.
If the following warning appears, connect the projector and the computer using the included USB cable, and
z
then restart the program.
When using Windows, if the LightPenII icon appears like (A) below, the USB connection is not functioning.
z
In this case, conrm that the USB cable is connected securely and that the USB port is functioning properly.
The LightPenII is functioning when the LightPenII icon appears like (B).
When using Mac OS X, if the LightPenII icon appears like (C) below, the USB connection is not functioning.
z
In this case, conrm that the USB cable is connected securely and that the USB port is functioning properly.
The LightPenII is functioning when the LightPenII icon appears like (D).
Some antivirus software disables USB ports. Set such software so that it does not disable USB ports.
2. The USB cable might not be suitable. Use the cable included with the projector. If you need to use a longer
cable, please contact the retailer where you purchased this product.
3. The USB port is not working properly.
Conrm that the USB port is functioning correctly. If it is not functioning, please consult with an expert.
When using a notebook computer, reduced battery capacity can result in USB ports not working. If this should
occur, use AC power. Moreover, some notebook computers are unable to supply the standard current level of 500
mA from USB ports. In addition, some USB converters will not work properly. In such cases, use the included USB
cable.

Troubleshooting (continued)
Q2: When calibrating the LightPenII, the green + mark will not turn black so I cannot proceed.
A: This could be caused by one of the following.
1. Check the following.
Does the pen or pointer have enough battery charge?
z
Is the tip of the pointer or pen in shadow on the screen? If the sensor cannot detect the LED in the tip of the
z
pointer or pen, it will not function.
Do not put the pen tip in shadow. The recommended angle is 25º.
2. The surrounding light might be too bright.
Move light sources further away from the CMOS sensor and screen.
This problem occurs frequently in the following situations.
Sunlight is entering through a window near the screen
z
There is a light source near the sensor or screen
z
3. When using Windows Vista or Windows 7, the + mark at the bottom left of the screen might be hidden by the
start icon. In this case, place the tip where you expect it to be and press the button.
Q3: The tip of the pointer and the mouse pointer position are not the same.
A: This could be caused by one of the following.
1. Calibration was not conducted accurately.
2. After calibration, the projector or screen was moved.
3. The computer resolution was changed.
Recalibrate in any of these cases.
Q4: The mouse pointer jumps around regardless of the movement of the pointer tip.
A: This could be caused by one of the following.
1. There might be interference from a strong light nearby. Block nearby light from reaching the screen. (See Q2
above.)
2. Since remote control use can cause malfunction, do not use one when using the interactive functions.
Q5: When the computer is restarted from standby mode, LightPenII does not work.
A: When a computer is put into standby mode, its USB ports might be shut down. Quit the LightPenII program
once and then restart it. (See Q1 above.)
Page 22
Troubleshooting (continued)
Q6: Why does this message appear? “Strong lighting in the environment may cause light pen to stop
functioning normally.”
A: The surrounding light is too bright. Interfering light can appear white as shown below.
Move those light sources or the screen, turn the lights off, use curtains or try other means to prevent such
interference.
