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.).

Power Cord and USB Cable

• When moving the unit, disconnect the power cord from the electrical power socket and from the printer’s power connector, and disconnect the USB cable from the printer’s USB connector and a computer. Then coil them for transportation as stepping on the power cord and USB cable or having them catch on something during movement may result in damage to the cord and cable.

• If you connect the electronic board to a USB hub, it is not guaranteed to work.

• Do not connect two or more Panasonic electronic boards to a computer. It may cause the

computer operation to become unstable.

Page 12

Precautions

Replacing the Thermal 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.

• 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.

Page 13

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.

• Always remove batteries from the Electronic Pen and Electronic Eraser if they are not to be used for an extended period of time.

• Use the same type of batteries. Do not mix different types.

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Always insert batteries with their polarity properly oriented as indicated on the Electronic

Pen or Electronic Eraser.

• If the Electronic Pen or Electronic Eraser ceases to function because batteries have run out, remove them immediately and dispose of them according to local regulations. Leaving drained batteries in the Electronic Pen or Electronic Eraser may result in leakage.

• Do not disassemble batteries or place them in a fire.

• Do not short batteries.

• Alkaline batteries cannot be recharged. Never attempt to recharge alkaline batteries.

• When using a projector to project images, be sure to display the image so that it is centered left-to-right on the Interactive Panaboard screen and with at least a 50 mm (2”) gap between the top of the image and the screen border. Note that the Electronic Pen does not always operate properly when within 50 mm (2”) of the top of the screen, 100 mm (3

• Since the Electronic Pen position may shift if the image on the screen is trapezoid, adjust the projector so that the image on the screen is rectangular.

• When projecting an image on the Interactive Panaboard using a projector, the image on the screen may become difficult to see depending on the viewing angle and position due to reflected projector light. If this happens, adjust the location of the projector or change your viewing position.

• When using a projector to project a computer screen, be sure to use optimum resolution settings for the projector and the computer. The image may be difficult to see if optimum settings are not used. Fine lines in the image on the Interactive Panaboard screen may appear broken particularly if the projector resolution is lower than the computer resolution.

• When using a projector to project images, the Electronic Pen position may shift if the projection position shifts due to the following causes. If this happens, it becomes necessary to perform calibration to reposition the projected image on the screen. (For details on calibration, see page 33.)

- When the installed location of the projector is changed.

- When the position of the Interactive Panaboard is changed.

- When the projection area and position has changed due to using a projector function such as zoom.

- When the display resolution of the projector or computer has changed. Note that the position of an Interactive Panaboard attached to a stand may shift if it is struck carelessly. Always make sure the stand's casters are locked in place.

• Light from the projector may enter the eye when using a projector to project images for the purpose of making presentations and so on. Be very careful as direct projector light may hurt the eyes.

However, the Whiteboard window has some functions the View window does not have as follows. For more detailed information, refer to “Managing IPB Documents” on page 57.

System of units:

• The View window displays IPB documents which

record the drawing on the Interactive Panaboard screen projecting the computer screen. Consequently, the size is represented by dots.

• In the Whiteboard window the drawing on the

Interactive Panaboard screen using the Electronic Pen and Electronic Eraser is virtually displayed in a computer window. Consequently, units of length are standard. You can choose between units in millimeters or inches.

New in the File menu:

• The View window is used to display and edit IPB

documents created by the Desktop Drawing Tool. Consequently, the New menu does not exist.

• Closes the IPB document currently displayed in the

Whiteboard window and displays a new IPB document.

Add New Page in the Edit menu:

• The View window is used to display and edit IPB

documents created by the Desktop Drawing Tool. Consequently, the Add New Page menu does not exist.

• Adds a new page (blank page) next to the last page

of the IPB document in the Whiteboard window.

Add Copy Page in the Edit menu:

• The View window is used to display and edit IPB

documents created by the Desktop Drawing Tool. Consequently, the Add Copy Page menu does not exist.

• Adds a copy of the page next to the last page of the

IPB document in the Whiteboard window.
