Connecting to a Computer for USB Mouse Control

If you connected your computer to a Computer port on the projector, you can set up the remote control
to act as a wireless mouse. This lets you control computer presentations at a distance from your
computer. To do this, connect the projector to your computer using a USB cable.

Note: You cannot use the remote control's wireless mouse function when you use your projector's USB
Type B port to project from a computer.

1.

In the projector's Extended menu, set the USB Type B setting to Wireless Mouse.
