USING WHITEBOARD MODE AND PROJECTION MODE TOGETHER
Because eBeam Software’s Projection mode allows you to open any application on your comput-
er, you can also open eBeam Software’s meeting application and use the Whiteboard mode and
Projection mode together.
When you attempt to open eBeam Software’s Meeting application, a dialog box appears asking
whether you want to use the eBeam hardware in Whiteboard mode or Projection mode. Choose
Projection mode.
Once eBeam Software’s Meeting application opens on your projected desktop, you can use the
Annotation Tools (with the digital marker and stylus) to draw or annotate within the whiteboard
mode application. You are also able to share or join a shared meeting (see Hosting/Sharing a
Meeting and Joining a Meeting).
A useful presentation idea is to use the Background Images feature in eBeam Software’s
Meeting application while in eBeam Software’s Projection mode. You can load a series of back-
ground images into eBeam Software’s Meeting application, which is then displayed on the white-
board. In addition, you can share the eBeam Software meeting, which will then display your
background images to remote participants at the same time.
UNABLE TO DETECT THE HARDWARE
If eBeam Software is unable to detect the hardware, a Detect eBeam dialog box opens with the
message: “eBeam not detected.” This dialog box displays a list of available ports, and which
ports are available.
The Detect eBeam dialog box includes the following controls:
Control
Description
Port Status list
Lists of all ports on your computer, and whether they are
currently available.

Instructs eBeam Software whether to continue attempting to
application startup
detect the hardware when eBeam Software starts up. See
Enable/Disable Connect at Startup.
Help
Opens eBeam Software’s help system to this topic.
Setup
Opens the eBeam Software Setup dialog. See Setup.
Cancel
Cancels the detection process, but allows you to continue
working with eBeam Software.
Retry
Attempts to detect the hardware again using either: your
settings in the eBeam Hardware Setup dialog (see Setup),
or your selection from the port list.
ENABLE/DISABLE CONNECT AT STARTUP
If you frequently use eBeam Software without the eBeam hardware, you can disable the Detect
eBeam hardware at startup feature.
To disable Detect eBeam hardware at startup:
1. Open the eBeam Hardware dialog by choosing Setup > eBeam Hardware from the
Edit menu.
By default, the Detect eBeam hardware at application start check box is enabled.
