8. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I connect my computer to the projector?

A: Use the included USB or HDMI cable to connect your computer to the appropriate input port on the projector. Then, turn on your computer and switch to the correct input source using the "Source Search" button on the projector or remote control.

Q: Can I use the interactive pens on any surface?

A: The interactive pens are designed for use on smooth, flat surfaces, such as whiteboards or projector screens. Using the pens on rough or textured surfaces may result in inaccurate pen tracking and potential damage to the pen tip.

Q: How do I clean the projector lens and air filter?

A: To clean the lens, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. To clean the air filter, remove it from the projector and gently brush away any dust or debris. If the filter is heavily soiled, it can be washed with water and allowed to air dry before reinserting it into the projector.

A: Use the focus and zoom rings on the projector lens to adjust the image size and focus. Additionally, the horizontal keystone correction and Quick Corner features can be used to align the image on the screen or whiteboard.

Product FAQ:

Q: Does it come with the wall mount?
A: Yes, the Epson BrightLink 475Wi Interactive WXGA 3LCD Projector with Mount - Epson V11H453520W comes with a wall mount bracket included. The letter "W" in the item manufacturer's SKU#: V11H453520W indicates that this projector includes the wall mount bracket.

Q: Can I use this projector for movies on the wall?
A: While this projector does a decent job, it may not be the best solution for movies on the wall. The largest size it can project is 96" diagonal and its size is determined by how far away from the wall you place it. Additionally, putting it on the floor with kids can lead to its rapid demise. It's better mounted, but mounting these can be a pain in the buttocks, and the image is 16" below the projector. So unless you have a high ceiling, this may not be your best solution.

Q: Can I annotate without connecting to a computer?
A: Yes, you can annotate without connecting to a computer using PC-Free annotation. You can write on projected images from iPads, document cameras, and Blu-Ray players or directly on ordinary whiteboards without ever connecting to a computer.

Q: Can two users annotate simultaneously?
A: Yes, this projector supports dual pen technology that allows two users to annotate simultaneously anywhere on the board.

Q: Is setup easy?
A: Yes, setup is easy with no driver installation required. The projector also features auto calibration and convenient tools including horizontal keystone correction and Quick Corner.
