However, for certain images you can change the aspect ratio to fit your screen by pressing a button on the remote control. If you always want to use a particular aspect ratio for a certain video input source, you can select it using the projector’s menus. Note: If you change the image aspect ratio while using the interactive pen, you will need to recalibrate the pen.

Installing Easy Interactive Driver
Before you can use the interactive pens, you need to install Easy Interactive Driver on the computer connected to the projector. The Easy Interactive Driver software is available on the “EPSON Projector Software for Easy Interactive Function” CD that came with the projector. The software is also available for download from the Epson website. Go to www.epson.com/support (U.S.) or www.epson.ca/support (Canada) and select your projector. 1. Insert the CD labeled “EPSON Projector Software for Easy Interactive Function” in your drive. 2. Do one of the following:
· Windows: If you see the AutoPlay window, select Run EIDriverVxxx_Setup.exe. If you see the User Account Control screen, select Yes or Continue.
· Mac OS X: Double-click the EIDriverVxxx_Setup icon in the Epson window. 3. Select your language. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software. Make sure you select Register to Startup
(Windows) or Start up (Mac OS X). Parent topic: Using the Interactive Pens
Checking the Connection Status of the Interactive Module
The Easy Interactive Driver icon in the taskbar (Windows) or in the Dock (Mac) shows the connection status between your computer and the interactive module.
Note: It may take a minute for the icon to appear after you turn on your computer and the projector.
· If you see the icon, the computer and interactive module are connected correctly.

  · Windows: Click or Start > All Programs or Programs > EPSON Projector > Easy Interactive Driver.
  · Mac OS X: Open the Application folder, then select the Easy Interactive Driver icon. Parent topic: Using the Interactive Pens
  Calibrating the Projector
  Calibration sets up the connection between your computer and the interactive pen so that you can control or interact with the image being projected from the computer. This simple process ensures that your computer can accurately detect the position of the pen on the projection surface. You need to calibrate before using the pen for the first time, or if you change the resolution on your computer or connect a different computer. You can use either pen for calibration. Two types of calibration are available: · Normal, which is faster and appropriate for most situations (25 calibration points) · Advanced, which is recommended when you need higher accuracy (49 calibration points) You may need to recalibrate if you change the projector’s aspect ratio or if you change the following settings: Auto Setup, Resolution, Tracking, Sync, Position, Aspect, Keystone, or Zoom. 1. To start calibrating, do one of the following:
  · Windows: Click the icon in the system tray on your taskbar (lower right corner of your screen), then select Calibrate (Normal) or Calibrate (Advanced).
  · Mac OS X: Click the icon in the Dock, select Calibrate from the menu bar, then select Calibrate (Normal) or Calibrate (Advanced).
  2. After you read the message about calibration, click OK. You see a flashing green circle in the upper left corner of your projected image.
  3. Touch the center of the circle with the tip of the pen. The circle stops flashing and turns black. You see another circle on the right.
  105

Note: For the most accurate calibration, make sure you hold the pen at an angle to the projection surface and touch the center of the circle.
4. Touch the center of the next circle, then repeat. When you get to the end of the row, the next circle appears at the left edge of a new row. Note: Make sure you are not blocking the signal between the pen and the interactive module. Don’t press the button on the pen while calibrating. If you make a mistake or the circles start jumping ahead, press Esc on your computer keyboard and restart the calibration process.
5. Continue until all of the circles are black.
