Next, select the ‘Inputs’ tab and deselect all entries except for ‘Enable mouse input’ and ‘Rate-limit
mouse move events’. The ‘Inputs:’ drop down selection box will automatically change to ‘Custom’
when the settings are made.

Proceed to the ‘Expert’ tab and scroll down the list of settings until you find the ‘FullColour’ option. It
is recommended that this option be set to true. If set to false, the EZT-570S screen may not be
shown properly in the client window. Locate the ‘PreferredEncoding’ and ‘Protocol3.3’ options further
down the list and set the preferred encoding to Hextile and the Protocol 3.3 option to true.
