Turn on the guest laptop.

If it’s still unplugged, plug in the 2000i and press the 

Lamp On

 button on the Control Panel.

button on the Control Panel to switch to the guest laptop video source.

If the initialization screen does not appear on the interactive whiteboard

Try activating the external video port on your guest laptop. Some laptops can't display their internal screens and activate the external 
video port or external monitor at the same time. You may also need to deactivate the internal video port on your guest laptop or put 
the internal and external video ports into simultaneous display mode, so that the guest laptop displays on both the guest laptop 
monitor and the interactive whiteboard at the same time. 

With newer laptops, you can synchronize the internal and external video ports as follows:

NOTE:

 This procedure may vary for different operating systems.

Settings > Control Panel > Display

.

b.

Click the 

Refresh

 (or 

Monitor Refresh

) tab.

c.

Click the 

CRT/Panel

 option to activate simultaneous monitor and external video port display.

This may not be possible with older laptop models, in which case you must switch back and forth between the internal and external 
video port. If you aren't sure which commands or keyboard combinations are required to do this, check the user’s manual for your 
guest laptop.

You can now display the output of your guest laptop. 

If the image on the screen is too large or too small

The projector and guest laptop resolution may not match. To adjust your guest laptop resolution to match the projector resolution, 
click the

 button, and select 

Settings > Control Panel > Display

. Click the 

Settings

 tab, and adjust the resolution accordingly.

tray tools accurately.
