There are several physical connections which are vital to the normal operation of

your Epson 485wi projector. The first, and most important of these, is the VGA

connection from your PC to your projector. Below is an example of a VGA cable.

There will most likely be several VGA cables installed behind the Instructors PC

going to a couple of locations. The AV Team has to split the video signal among

two pieces of equipment (Your projector and in most cases a mounted Television)

and in order to do this a splitter is installed.

-1-

The splitter allows the video signal to appear on both the PC’s monitor, the

projector and the TV. Below are several examples of the splitters that the AV

Team installs.

Once the signal is split to the PC’s monitor, the video signal needs to travel

through in-wall cabling to the projector. This is done by connecting a VGA cable

from the splitter to the AVP, which is a wall plate located near the PC.

None of the connections beyond this point are accessible by anyone other than a GCS Technician.

The second connection that is required for the interactive function of your Epson

485wi is a standard USB cable.

-2-

In most cases, this USB cable has been installed by the AV Team and will be green

in color. The ‘A’end of the cable will plug into any available USB port on your PC.

The other end of the cable, the ‘B’end, will plug into a wall plate located near the

AVP.

From this point the signal travels over in-wall cabling to the projector. Again, only

a GCS Technician will be able to access the connection points either in the wall or

at the projector.

If you have issues with your projector not displaying the image from your PC, or

your interactive pen stops working, check these connections behind your PC and

at the wall prior to opening a ticket. If these connections are secured properly

and you still have issues, please open a ticket with the AV Team with Technology

Services.

Listed below are the steps necessary to operate your Epson 485wi in a classroom

environment.

Step 1 –Power on the projector. You can reach up and push the power button on

the projector or you can use the power button located on the remote. In either

case, you should hear the projector beep and the amber light should turn green

and start blinking while the power up cycle runs its course.

-3-

This process takes under a minute and once complete, you should have an image

from whatever source you have connected to the projector provided that source

is active (powered on and not in sleep mode).

There are two locations on the displayed image where you can see which input

you have selected. Once an image from your source appears, the upper right

hand corner will have information on what input you have selected. If you have a

blue screen with no image from your PC or source device, look in the bottom left

hand corner to determine which input you have selected.

Step 2 –Use your interactive pen(s). Once you have the image from the PC

displayed on the viewing surface, you will need to retrieve and power on your

interactive pen(s). You have two interactive pens that come with the Epson

485wi. Each is marked with either a blue or orange end-cap. The power switch is

located on the underside of the back end of the pen(s). See the pen image below

for details.

Once the pen has been powered on, it will take a few seconds for the projector

and pen to communicate and activate the interactive functionality. You will know

that the interactive functions are active when you approach the board with the

pen and the cursor moves towards the pen tip.

-4-

Your interactive pen(s) work just like a mouse when controlling your desktop

functions on your PC. The cursor works in exactly the same way when

manipulated with the pen as it does when using the mouse with the following

exceptions:

-To double click you simply double tap the pen tip on the icon you wish to

activate.

-Right clicking is achieved by pressing the pen tip on the board and holding for

about three seconds.

Step 3 –Activate any software packages that you wish to use interactively. You

are able to control any functions of your PC with your pen(s) from the board so

you can maintain a front-of-classroom presence during the entire lesson. Please

see the following section for details on Easy Interactive Tools.

The Easy Interactive Tools software package that comes with your Epson 485wi

projector has many great tools for a classroom environment. To open these tools,

first go to your start menu.

-5-

Once you have your Start Menu open, go to your Programs (or All Programs) list

and select the Epson Projector folder.

You should see the Easy Interactive Tools program listed under the Epson folder.

-6-

The Toolbar will appear either on the left or right side of your desktop and will

look like the following image.

There will also be an arrow on your desktop which appears on the opposite side

than the toolbar. This arrow allows you to easily switch the toolbar from one side

of your desktop to the other if any of the images from your desktop are blocked

for any reason.

-7-

The following is a list of the icons on the toolbar and what each icons function is.
