2 Make Sure Interactive Software Is Installed
You may already have interactive software on your
computer, or you may need to install it. For OS X, you
need the Easy Interactive Driver and Easy Interactive
Tools (or other interactive software). For Windows, you
only need Easy Interactive Tools (or other interactive
software).
If you need to install the Easy Interactive Tools
software, do one of the following:
• Use the CD that came with the projector, labeled
“EPSON Projector Software for Easy Interactive
Function.”
Here’s how to find out if the Easy Interactive Tools
software is installed on your computer. (If the software is
not installed, follow the steps in the next column.)
OS X:
Look for the Easy Interactive Driver and Easy Interactive
Tools folders in the Applications folder on your hard drive.
If you see these folders, the Easy Interactive software is
installed.
• Download the most up-to-date version from:
epson.com/brightlinkdownloads (U.S.)
epson.ca/brightlinkdownloads (Canada)
global.latin.epson.com/soporte (Latin America;
site available in Spanish).
Windows 8.x:
Navigate to the Apps screen and select Easy Interactive
Tools.
Other Windows versions:
For more information about Easy Interactive Tools, see
the online Easy Interactive Tool Tips sheet or the online
Easy Interactive Tools Operation Guide.
Select
or Start > All Programs or Programs >
EPSON Projector > Easy Interactive Tools Ver. 3.
If you see Easy Interactive Tools Ver. 3, the software
is installed.

even greater accuracy. You don’t need a computer, and
you won’t need to calibrate again unless the projector or
