MAC: Macintosh Environment
Setting your computer for optimum picture output in the Macintosh operating system environment
MACINTOSH Environment
The following is a step-by-step procedure for setting your computer picture output to optimum display quality.
1.Plug in your computer to the Presentation TV. Turn on the TV and then the COMPUTER.
2.Open your CONTROL PANEL by choosing under the APPLE icon or by clicking on your HARD DRIVE icon. If you choose the HARD DRIVE icon, you’ll have to open your CONTROL PANEL through the SYSTEMS FOLDER.
3.Once you have located the CONTROL PANEL, click on VIEWS. This is where you will make changes for Presentation display.
4.Change the FONT to one that is appears well on a television. We would suggest that you use TIMES BOLD. Now, change the FONT SIZE to 18 or better.
Each time that you use the TV with your computer, you will simply change the FONT and SIZE through the CONTROL PANEL and VIEW. You have now changed the appearance of all your folders but NOT your applications.
VIEWING FOR PRESENTATION Vs. PRIVATE
1.When viewing an application, such as EXCEL or WORD, you will have to change the appearance of each application.
2.Once the application has been opened, just change the view from 100 percent to a selection over 150 percent. This will not permanently effect your document. Once you have completed your presentation, simply reduce the size back down to 100 percent viewing ratio.
3.To enlarge the ICONS of the application, click on VIEW and then select TOOLBARS. Slide down and highlight CUSTOMIZE with your mouse, then click.
4.A file folder will now “pop-up”. Now selection OPTIONS and then click on LARGE ICONS. This will only enlarge the ICONS on your menu palette. Due to a less flexible platform, you will not be able to effect the fonts/size on the Menu Bar.
