Part 1: General Information • Blackboard (Green) This is the optimum mode for projecting on blackboards (green). The intensity of the green light has been made relatively low. (Thus, the total amount of light is also low.) • Custom In this mode, users can make various video adjustments, based on one of the previous modes, to suit their personal preferences.
Part 1: General Information Reverse image This function allows the projected image to be reversed horizontally or vertically. When rear projection is selected, the projector projects images reversed horizontally. (Line-symmetry) When ceiling mount is selected, the projector projects images reversed both horizontally and vertically.
Part 1: General Information 4.4 Mechanisms and systems Security Settings 1) Logo PIN Code Lock When this function is on, [Logo] and [Capture] can no longer be selected from the menu. A PIN code is also required in order to switch this function off. Therefore, you must enter the PIN code with the function on to use [Logo] or [Capture] and switch this function off.
