save, and interact with content from
your computer.

The BrightLink interactive pens turn any wall or table into
an interactive area, with or without a computer.
The projector control toolbar lets you control the projector
from the screen just as you would using the remote
control.
Built-in Toolbar
Without a computer, you can use the
toolbar that is built into the projector
(PC Free Annotation). This lets you
annotate images from a document
camera, tablet, DVD player, or other
source connected to your projector.
Students and colleagues can connect
their own laptops and annotate on the fly
using the built-in toolbar, without installing
software.
• On a Mac, you may need to open System
Preferences and select Displays. Click the

an area away from the projection screen.

Note: The pens turn off automatically after about
15 seconds of inactivity. Pick the pen up to turn it
back on.
Finger Touch
You can use your finger to perform the same functions as
the interactive pen when the Touch Unit is installed. You
can use either the pen or your finger, or use both at the
same time.
When performing finger touch operations, you can use
two fingers in annotation and whiteboard modes, or up to
six fingers in computer interactive mode.
Two toolbars are available in PC Free Annotation mode,
one for annotation mode and one for whiteboard mode.
Many of the tools are the same as Easy Interactive Tools,
but fewer functions are available.
Using the Built-in Toolbar

The projector’s built-in toolbar lets you annotate images
from other devices that have been connected to the
projector, such as a document camera, tablet, or other
source. This is known as PC Free Annotation mode.
Annotation mode displays the built-in toolbar on
whatever image is being projected.
•
Whiteboard mode lets you project a white or black
screen or background pattern, and use the pen
or your finger to write or draw as you would on a
chalkboard or dry erase board.
•
Press one of the source buttons on the remote
control to select the source for the image you want
to annotate.

finger with the location of your cursor. If the pen or
finger position and cursor location don’t match, you can
perform auto calibration, or you can calibrate manually for
even greater accuracy.
