Correcting image alignment issues

Alignment errors occur when the projected image isn’t perpendicular to the screen. Alignment errors

can occur when you mount your interactive whiteboard system on an uneven surface or a wall that

has obstructions, or if you swivel the projector too far from the vertical center of your interactive

whiteboard.

Use the instructions in the included

SMART Board 480iv and 680iv Interactive Whiteboard Systems

Installation Guide

(

smarttech.com/kb/153153

) to eliminate most image alignment issues.
