  • Page 36: Making Fine Adjustments To The Projected Image

    Making Fine Adjustments to the Projected Image When you’ve properly positioned the projector in the mirror stand, make fine adjustments to obtain a correctly projected image on the interactive whiteboard. An aligned image fits squarely on the interactive screen with a margin of about 1/2" (1.3 cm) on all sides. If your projection room is small, you may have to use one or two mirrors to project the correct image size onto the screen.
  • Page 37 To adjust the projected image on the 2865 or the 2965 1. Ensure the transit locking screw underneath the projector plate is loose. If you need to loosen it, use a wrench from the accessory kit. 2. Adjust the image roll. To do this, tighten or loosen the large round knob beside the locking screw until the image sits properly in the frame.
  • Page 38 5. Move the image up or down by adjusting the small mirror. To do this, first loosen the upper thumbscrews on both sides of the small mirror. Then gently push the mirror away from you to lower the image, or pull it towards you to raise the image.
