(smarttech.com/kb/154547).
l While adjusting the projected image size, shape and location, use the projector’s default
background so that you can see the full projected image clearly. Don’t use other images, which
might be cropped or scaled by the projector and could result in a misleading projected image
size, shape and location.
l Use the mechanical adjustments described in the installation document to make all physical
image adjustments. Don’t use the projector’s on-screen menu options during the projector
alignment process.
l Be aware that as you tilt the projector up or lower its mounting boom to raise the image, the
entire projected image increases or decreases in size, especially at the bottom of the projected
image.
l When adjusting keystone (tilt), ensure that the top and bottom edges of the image are
horizontal before you position the left and right edges of the image relative to your interactive
whiteboard.
l When you move the projector forward or backward on the boom to make the image larger or
smaller, you might need to tilt or turn the projector slightly to keep the image square. Loosen the
lever slightly to aid in this adjustment.
l To fine-tune the image, you might need to repeat all steps described in the installation
document in smaller increments.

Value-based command methods
Absolute values and adjustment values
You can use the command’s target range to set an absolute value for a command or cause an
adjustment to be made to the current value. To create an adjustment command, add a plus (+) or
minus (-) symbol instead of the equal symbol (=) before the value change you want to enter.
All absolute values you enter must be within the command target range, and all adjustment values
must equal a number within the command target range.
See the following examples for adjusting projector brightness:
>get brightness
brightness=55
>set brightness=65
brightness=65
>set brightness+5
brightness=70
>set brightness-15
brightness=55
Video source specification values
You can use the source input field described in Source selection controls on next page in a command
to set an absolute value or adjustment value to a source other than the active source. You can do this
while the selected source is inactive, but the source device must be connected or you will receive an
invalid command response.
See the following examples, where both an HDMI connector and a VGA 1 input are connected:
>set input=hdmi
input=hdmi
>set brightness vga1=65
brightness vga1=65

In some situations, you might want to disable the ECP’s front USB receptacle. Disabling the USB
receptacle prevents users from using or saving documents to USB drives using the ECP’s front USB
receptacle. The other USB receptacles won’t be deactivated since they’re required for your
interactive whiteboard and computer connections to function.
Follow these instructions to remove and cut the case on the ECP, and then remove the USB jumper
switch to disable the ECP’s USB receptacle.
C C A U T I ON
Always use an anti-static wrist wrap when working on the ECP.
I I MP OR T A NT
Do not perform this operation if you are unfamiliar with using jumper switches.
You require a Phillips No. 2 screwdriver, a pair of wire cutters and a pair of needle-nose pliers to
perform the following procedure.
g To remove and cut the case on the ECP
1. Put the projector into Standby mode, and then wait 15 minutes for it to cool down.
2. Disconnect the projector’s power cable from the power outlet.
3. While holding the ECP to prevent it from falling, use a Phillips No. 2 screwdriver to remove the
two screws from the bottom of the ECP. Place the screws in a safe place.

4. Remove all cables connected to the ECP.
5. Locate the jumper cover between the “PC” and “SE240” labels on the side of the ECP that
faces the wall.
6. Using a pair of wire cutters, cut through the two tabs on the jumper cover and remove it from
the ECP. Keep the jumper cover in a safe place.
g To remove the USB jumper switch
1. Locate the USB jumper behind the jumper cover port.
2. Using needle-nose pliers, pull the jumper from the two connection posts, and then place it on a
single post.
