    • Select “About this Mac” 
    • Click on “System Report”

    • Check Smart notebook version 
    • Are the smart tools installed 
    • There maybe a conflict with Epson and smart - We need to troubleshoot this. 

  • Re-install the Epson Drivers 

Pens not working

  • Check/charge/replace batteries 


Picture is not aligned on the board

  • Open up the projector menu from the Epson Remote 
  • Select “Settings” 
    • Select “Keystone” 
    • Choose “quick corner” 
    • Adjust accordingly 

Mouse pointer moves without tapping the screen


  • The “Hovering” action needs to be turned off. To do this, 
    • Open up the projector menu from the Epson Remote 
    • Select “Extended” on the left side. 
    • Select the “Easy Interactive Function” option on the right side. 
    • Select the “Hovering” option 
    • Select “Off” 

Calibration needs to be adjusted (ie. mouse pointer is off, pens not writing as they should)

  • Open up the projector menu from the Epson remote 
  • Select “Extended” 
    • Choose “Easy Interactive Function” 
    • First try auto calibration 
    • If this doesn’t fix the issue, try manual calibration 

Touch is not being recognized in lower corner(s) of board

  • The sensor on wall, rectangular box above board, needs adjustment 
    • Pull out sensor slightly (you may need to loosen w/screwdriver) 
    • Once adjusted, test interactivity in corners and elsewhere on board 

 

Sound Issues

  • If using VGA connection, make sure audio cable is securely plugged in 
  • Verify on wall panel that sound is not mute 
  • Verify volume is turned up 
  • Verify mics are not mute 
  • On a Mac, if plugged in via HDMI, volume cannot be adjusted from the computer. Volume will need to be adjusted via the wall panel or inside the program that is running. 

 

DVDs won’t display on the Projector

This is happening due to copyright protection on the DVD. There are three possible workarounds:

  • Use a VGA connection instead of HDMI. 
  • Use VLC to play the DVD 
  • Use your standalone DVD/Blu-ray player 
  • If using player, remember input on wall panel will need to be changed accordingly 

Projected image does not fill the screen / Touch is above or below finger or pen

  • There are two possible solutions for this: 
    • Press the “Aspect” button (8) on the Epson remote control and select the “Full” option. 
    • Change the computers screen resolution to a more optimal resolution.
