Precautions
Precautions
Before You Start
Installation
Screen Film
Markers,
Erasers and
Thermal
Transfer Film
• Do not install the unit where it may be exposed to direct sunlight, near heating equipment, or
near air-conditioning vents as this may cause stretching and/or discoloration of the screen.
• Do not install the unit in strong sunlight or strong lighting. Proper copying may become
impossible.
• Do not install the unit in locations where the temperature may change suddenly as this may
disable the unit’s ability to make copies.
• Make thick and dark lines inside the copying area.
Note that any writing inside the shaded area (on
right) cannot be copied.
• Do not allow writing to remain on the screen for an
extended period of time as it will become harder to
erase.
• Do not erase with an overly dirty eraser (see page
75).
• Periodically wipe the screen film gently with a
water-dampened cloth that has been thoroughly wrung. (See page 75.)
• Use a commercially available white board cleaner for hard-to-erase stains.
(SANFORD® EXPO® white board cleaner etc.)
• Do not touch the screen, write with markers, or erase while the screen is moving as this may
result in damage to the unit.
• Do not attach chart paper to the screen film for copying as this may result in damage to the
unit.
• Use only the included or designated markers, erasers and thermal transfer film. (See page
82.)
Use of accessories other than those included or designated (such as oil-based
markers) may damage the screen or result in hard-to-erase markings.
• Copy quality increases with the thickness of the drawn line. To ensure quality copies, please
use the markers (big).
• The markers for interactive (small) draw thin lines. The quality of the copies may be reduced
when these markers are used.
• Do not store the thermal transfer film in a location subject to extreme changes in
temperature (such as near air conditioning or heating equipment) as this may cause
condensation on the thermal transfer film and result in poor print quality and/or paper jams.
• Store markers horizontally as vertical storage may stop the ink from coming out.
• The length of one roll of designated thermal transfer film (Replacement film: UG-6001) is
approximately 50 meters (164 ft.). One roll of thermal transfer film can make approximately
150 sheets of copies.
Note that the total number of copies may differ depending on the operating conditions.
Also note that the length of the thermal transfer film supplied with the unit is shorter
than the replacement film roll and is only approximately 10 meters (32.8 ft.).

Transfer Film
Electronic
Pen and
Electronic
Eraser
• Dispose of the used thermal transfer film in a trash receptacle for burnable trash.
• A negative of the copied image will remain on the thermal transfer film. (To protect the
security of your information, we recommend cutting up the used thermal transfer film with
scissors or shredder before disposing of it.)
Transmitter
• Do not cover the transmitter with your hand while using an interactive function as this may
cause the position of the Electronic Pen or the Electronic Eraser not to be normally
detected.
NG
OK
• Press down firmly with the point of the Electronic Pen or the eraser cloth of the Electronic
Eraser on the screen film until you hear a buzzing sound, and then move it slowly.
However, do not press down the point of the Electronic Pen too much strongly as this may
make a dent in the screen back panel.
• Do not use two or more the Electronic Pens or the Electronic Eraser at the same time as this
may cause the position of the Electronic Pen or the Electronic Eraser not to be normally
detected.
• For precise positioning, keep the Electronic Pen and Electronic Eraser perpendicularly to
the screen during use.
• Since ultrasonic is used to detect the position of the Electronic Pen and Electronic Eraser
when they are being used, you may hear a buzzing sound, but this is not harmful to the
human body or peripheral hardware. It will also not result in an electric shock.
12
Precautions
Battery
If batteries are used improperly, batteries may leak, causing corrosion of the unit, or they may
burst. To prevent this, always follow the precautions given below.
