Setting Up the Projector  
To set up the projector for wired network access  
You can connect the projector to a network. This action enables you and other  
presenters to connect to the projector over the network.  
1. Plug a CAT5 or equivalent network cable into the LAN port on the back of  
the module. Connect the other end to the local network.  
2. Turn on the projector. The left indicator light on the network port turns on  
showing a 10- or 100-Mb/s connection. The light on the right shows network  
activity.

Setting Up the Projector  
1. Turn on the projector.  
2. Open the on-screen menu. The projector’s wired IP address is displayed at  
the bottom of the on-screen menu.  
Complete wired and wireless network information is shown in the on-screen menu  
under Help > About the network.  
3. On a networked computer, open Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, enter  
the IP address of the projector into the URL bar, and press the Enter key. Use the  
IP address for the wired network connection when setting the wireless  
configuration.  
4. In the browser, go to Networking > Wireless Settings.  
5. For an Ad Hoc connection, set the following properties:  
Set the Wireless Network Type to Ad Hoc.  
Specify the desired Network ID (SSID) (sometimes called Service Set  
Identifier), and encryption options.  
For an Infrastructure connection, set the following properties as specified by  
the network administrator:  
Set the Wireless Network Type to Infrastructure.  
Set the Network ID (SSID) and encryption options to match those of the  
access point.  
If the network is using a DHCP server, set IP Configuration Method to DHCP.  
If it is not using a DHCP server, talk to your network administrator to find  
the correct TCP/IP network settings.  
If you enable encryption, the encryption key will be sent to the projector over the  
current network connection, which is not secure. For increased protection, set the  
encryption key only while using a wired network connection. The most secure  
connection is a direct connection to the computer using a cross-wired network cable.  
6. Click Apply to activate settings. If you lose your network connection as the  
projector updates its settings, repeat step 3.  
7. Go to Networking > Wireless Presenter. Enter a projector name to identify the  
projector for network presenters. You can also enter a projector password that  
presenters must provide when they connect.  
8. Click Apply to activate settings.

Presenting from a Memory Card  
This chapter explains how you can store presentations on a memory card, then show  
them on the projector without using a computer. Such presentations are sometimes  
called PC-free presentations.  
“Preparing for Presentations” on page 37  
“Showing Presentations” on page 41  
Preparing for Presentations  
To store a presentation  
1. Use your computer to create a compatible presentation. The table below lists the  
types of presentations that are supported.  
2. Attach a compatible memory card to your computer. The second table below lists  
the types of memory cards that are supported.  
3. Copy the presentation onto the memory card. You can save it in the top-level  
folder on the card, or you can create subfolders and store it in one of them.  
Fonts installed on your computer might not be available on the projector. For best  
results, do one of the following:  
If you copy a PowerPoint file to a memory card, HP Wireless Presenter-to-Go  
software prompts you to embed the required fonts on the card. Allow the fonts  
to be embedded.  
If you use HP Wireless Presenter-to-Go to create a mobile presentation, font  
information is included in the presentation.

Fixing the System  
This chapter offers suggestions to help correct problems you might encounter with  
the module.  
“Troubleshooting Suggestions” on page 53  
“Testing the Projector” on page 62  
Troubleshooting Suggestions  
To use this section, find the problem statement that is closest to your problem, then try  
each bulleted item one at a time until your problem is fixed. If the suggestions do not  
solve your problem, contact HP—see the support guide for more information.  
If you are experiencing problems with the projector, see the projector manual.  
Connection problems  
If you cannot connect to the projector in Wireless Presenter-to-Go:  
Be sure the projector is plugged in and turned on.  
If you are using a wireless connection on your computer or on  
the projector, be sure the computer or projector is within range  
of each other or the wireless access point. They should be within  
about 50 m (160 ft) when indoors (the maximum range is about  
five times as far outdoors).  
If you can connect to the projector using a Web browser and  
the projector’s wired or wireless IP address, the network settings  
and connections are good for that connection. If you cannot  
connect using a Web browser, the network settings might be  
wrong—see the next problem.

Fixing the System  
If you cannot connect to the projector using a Web browser:  
Be sure the projector is plugged in and the main disconnect  
switch is turned on.  
If you are using a wireless connection on the projector, be sure  
the projector is turned on.  
If you are using a wireless connection on your computer or on  
the projector, be sure the computer or projector is within range of  
each other or the wireless access point. They should be within  
about 50 m (160 ft) when indoors (the maximum range is about  
five times as far outdoors).  
Be sure that you are using the correct IP address. If you are using  
a wired network connection, the projector’s IP address is shown  
in the on-screen menu on the projector. If you are using a wireless  
connection, the wireless IP address is shown in the on-screen  
menu at Quick choice > Wireless Presenter.  
If you can connect using Wireless Presenter-to-Go, the network  
settings and connections are good. The projector’s IP address or  
hostname you are using in the browser is probably incorrect.  
Check whether the projector’s IP address is shown in the  
on-screen menu. If the projector is set to use a DHCP server and  
no DHCP server is available, no IP address is set for the projector.  
You can disable DHCP and manually set an IP address, or you  
can contact the network administrator for a valid TCP/IP network  
configuration, then set up the projector accordingly.  
Turn off the projector, then remove power for at least 15 seconds.  
This restarts the module.  
If another computer can connect to your projector, check your  
computer at the “Computer—wired connection” or  
“Computer—wireless connection” on page 55. If another  
computer cannot connect to your projector or if your computer  
can connect to another projector, check your projector at  
“Projector—wired connection” or “Projector—wireless  
connection” on page 55.

Fixing the System  
In Wireless Presenter-to-Go, if you selected the advanced option  
to use the projector as an extended desktop, you must open  
Display Properties on your computer, go to the Settings tab, and  
set display 2 to extend the Windows desktop. The next time you  
connect to the projector, no windows are initially shown on the  
projector. To display a window on the projector, you must drag  
the window onto the projector area of your desktop.  
If the displayed colors are distorted, be sure your computer is  
using 24- or 32-bit color. Check this in Control Panel Display  
on the Settings tab.  
If the projector stops showing your network presentation:  
If you are using a wireless connection, the signal strength might  
have dropped too low and interrupted your connection.  
If you are in a session with a moderator, the moderator might  
have stopped your presentation.  
Another user might have connected to the projector and taken  
control of the projector. You can prevent this by selecting a  
different access option in the Wireless Presenter-to-Go window.  
If PowerPoint features do not work in a presentation from a handheld:  
If you are using a Palm device, animations and transitions are not  
supported.  
If you are using a Pocket PC device and want to include  
animations and transitions, be sure you select the animation  
option when you create the presentation on your computer.

Memory card problems  
To embed PowerPoint fonts on a memory card, you must use a computer with HP  
Wireless Presenter-to-Go software (see “To prepare your computer” on page 39).  
If you are presenting a PowerPoint PPT file, be sure the required  
fonts are embedded on the memory card (see “To prepare a  
PowerPoint presentation” on page 39).  
If you see a Presenter-to-Go message indicating a font cannot be  
embedded, edit the PowerPoint file and replace the restricted font  
with a different font. In PowerPoint, you can click Format >  
Replace Fonts and make sure all fonts are TrueType fonts. Then  
be sure the new font is embedded on the memory card.  
If the PowerPoint file contains an embedded font not installed on  
your computer, this font cannot be embedded on the memory  
card. If possible, change the font in the PowerPoint file, then be  
sure the new font is embedded on the memory card.  
fonts are available for PPT presentations. Right-click each PPT  
file on the card and select Embed Fonts.  
As an alternative to showing a PowerPoint PPT file, you can show  
a mobile presentation PDB file, which contains all necessary font  
information (see “To create mobile presentations” on page 40).  
If the formatting or layout of a PowerPoint presentation is displayed incorrectly:  
In PowerPoint, save the file as a type compatible with PowerPoint  
2002. Click File > Save As, then change Save As Type.  
Word Art cannot be displayed from a PowerPoint PPT file, but  
you can convert Word Art to an image that can be displayed. In  
PowerPoint, while holding CTRL select all instances of Word Art  
in a slide, then right-click and select Save As Image. Then delete  
all the Word Art and insert the image in the slide.  
Some types of PowerPoint formatting and elements are not  
supported. Try using different formatting or different elements, or  
try the alternative described in the last suggestion below.

Fixing the System  
If you are presenting a PowerPoint PPT file, a slide may not  
display completely if it requires too much memory. To reduce the  
size of graphics on slides, right-click any graphic, select Format  
pictures and the option to delete cropped areas.  
An alternative to showing a PowerPoint PPT file is showing a  
mobile presentation PDB file, which supports other formats and  
elements and requires less memory to display (see “To create  
mobile presentations” on page 40).  
If PowerPoint special effects do not work:  
Some special effects are not supported, including sound effects.  
When creating a mobile presentation, make sure you select the  
animation option. Do not select the Palm compatibility option  
because it disables special effects.  
In PowerPoint, save the file as a type compatible with PowerPoint  
2002. Click File > Save As, then change Save As Type.  
If some pictures in a picture presentation are sideways:  
The projector cannot rotate pictures. Insert the memory card in a  
computer or camera and edit the pictures on the computer or  
camera.  
If a picture in a picture presentation is not displayed:  
Any individual image that is larger than 3.5 MB is shown as a  
missing picture during the presentation. To avoid this situation,  
check file sizes, and edit large images or convert them to JPG  
format so they are smaller than 3.5 MB.  
If pictures in a picture presentation are too small:  
Pictures smaller than 1024 × 768 pixels are not magnified when  
they are displayed. If you insert the memory card in a computer,  
you can use graphics software to enlarge or edit the pictures.

Fixing the System  
If pictures in a picture presentation do not display in the correct order:  
Pictures are displayed in alphanumeric order based on the file  
pictures files so they appear in the desired order.  
If a memory card does not work with the projector:  
Only certain types of memory cards are supported by the  
projector. See “Supported types of memory cards” on page 38.  
The memory card might not be formatted with a supported file  
structure. You can insert the memory card in a computer and  
format the card with a FAT or MS-DOS file system.  
If a presentation file is not listed or does not open:  
Insert the card in a computer and check the file name. The  
three-letter extension of the file name must be one of the  
supported extensions. See “Supported types of presentations” on  
page 38.  
The content of the presentation file may not be compatible with  
the type of file expected. On a computer, open the file and resave  
it in one of the supported formats. See “Supported types of  
presentations” on page 38.  
Hardware problems  
If a USB mouse or keyboard does not work:  
During a presentation from a memory card, a USB mouse or  
keyboard performs only navigation functions.  
During a network presentation from a computer, a USB mouse or  
keyboard works only if the projector remote control option is  
selected.  
A USB mouse or keyboard is not supported under other  
conditions.
