COPYCAM QUICK START
Step 1: Write on the board.
Step 2: Press a button on the control pad.
Step 3: You’re done!
CopyCam captures the board and you can continue your
presentation without interruption.
WHAT TO EXPECT
In good lighting conditions, CopyCam captures the board just five
seconds after you press one of the control pad buttons. In poor light,
it might take a few seconds longer.
NOTE:NOTE:
To avoid shadows across the image, be sure you stand away from the
board when you press the control pad button.
A voice prompt quietly says “captured.” At the same time, the LED
changes from blinking yellow to solid yellow to indicate that you can
erase the board and continue writing. Refer to “LED and Voice Status
Messages” on page 26 for a summary of all status messages.
When you use the printer, it can take up to 45 seconds before a copy
starts printing, but you can continue with your presentation during
that time.
When you use the floppy diskette, it can take up to a minute to save
the file, but you can continue with your presentation during that time
as well.

COPYCAM OPERATION
THREE WAYS TO MAKE COPIES
CopyCam gives you a choice of three ways to make copies of your
whiteboard or chalkboard:
•on the printer
•on a floppy diskette
•on the web
You can use any combination to save copies during a presentation.
Refer to “Copying in any Combination” on page 8.
WHAT YOU CAN COPY
CopyCam can copy writing and drawings in any color on whiteboards
or chalkboards. You can use any chalk color or any marker color. You
can even copy overhead projections if they use line art. CopyCam
captures an area of up to 4' x 8' on a wall, whether or not there is a
board there.
WHAT YOU CAN’T COPY
CopyCam will not produce a clean image from large blocks of solid
color, photos, or 3D objects.
COPYING TO THE PRINTER
CopyCam comes with its own color printer. The color printer receives
its data using Bluetooth wireless technology. (You can also configure
CopyCam to use ethernet network printers. Refer to “Changing
Printers” on page 18.)
CopyCam emits radio signals to the printer’s antenna, so no physical
connection is required between them. The printer should be within
30 feet of the CopyCam camera arm, but it does not need to be in the
same room. If a wall is between CopyCam and the printer, the
antenna range may be slightly reduced.
To print a copy of the board:
1Be sure the printer is turned on, and has paper and ink.

2When you are ready to capture, press the button on the
control pad once for each copy you want to print.
3Continue your presentation after you hear the voice prompt say
“captured” and the LED changes from blinking yellow to solid
yellow.
COPYING TO A FLOPPY DISKETTE
You can save a copy of the board to a floppy diskette as an image file
(.png). One floppy diskette holds 10 to 15 copies, depending on the
complexity of the images. Files are named CCam0001.png,
CCam0002.png, etc. Each copy that you save receives the next
sequential number. After 1000 copies have been saved, the number
wraps back to 0001. The date and time of capture are part of the file
details.
CopyCam uses only formatted MS-DOS high-density 3.5" floppy
diskettes. Formatted floppy diskettes are available from most office
supply stores.
NOTE:NOTE:
CopyCam will not erase files on a diskette, so be sure that the diskette
you use has sufficient space for your copies.
COPYCAM OPERATION5

To copy to a floppy diskette:
1Insert a formatted diskette in the control pad, as shown below.
2When you are ready to capture, press to save a copy of the
board to the floppy diskette.
3Continue your presentation after you hear the voice prompt say
“captured” and the LED changes from blinking yellow to solid
yellow. The disk drive begins to write after about 30 seconds.
Writing to disk may take up to a minute.
NOTE:NOTE:
If the LED blinks red, one of the following may have occurred:
•No diskette is inserted in the control pad.
•A bad or unformatted diskette is inserted in the control pad.
•The diskette is full.
The voice prompt provides additional information.
To remove the floppy diskette from the control pad:
1Wait until the LED changes to green or the voice prompt says
“ready,” indicating that writing is complete.

2Press the eject button on the control pad, as shown below.
NOTE:NOTE:
Most computers can read the .png format images on the floppy
diskette. Simply insert the diskette in your computer, browse to the
floppy diskette drive and double-click the image file to view it.
Images can easily be inserted in word processing documents or
e-mail as well. To use only a portion of your board image, use any
image editing application.
COPYING TO THE WEB
You can also copy the board as an image file (.png) to the built-in
CopyCam web server. Access the copies with any computer sharing
the same Local Area Network (LAN). The computer can be a
Windows-based computer, a Macintosh, or any other computer with
web access. All you need is a web browser such as Internet Explorer
or Netscape. Refer to “The CopyCam Web Server” on page 9 for
information about how to access the web server.
The web server can hold approximately 40 copies at a time,
depending on their complexity. When the web server becomes full,
the oldest copies disappear as new ones are added. Copies remain
on the web server until they are replaced by newer ones or until you
delete them, even if there is a power outage.
