How do I get my computer image on the projector?
1. Make sure your cables are securely seated on the projector and computer.
2. Turn on the projector first, then the computer.
3. If no image appears, make sure the resolution and refresh rate are configured to match the native resolution of the projector. Most InFocus projectors are
either 800 x 600 (SVGA) or 1024 x 768 (XGA)
4. To confirm or set the resolution, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Displays. In the Display dialog box, select the appropriate resolution.
(The actual screens may vary, depending on which operating system and computer model you have.)
5. See next page for more information.
