5 Use PC Free Annotation

The projector’s built-in toolbar lets you annotate images
from other devices that have been connected to the
projector, such as a document camera, tablet, or other
source.

1

Press one of the source

buttons on the remote

control to select the source for the image you want
to annotate.

Image from an
external device
connected to the

USB

port

Image from a

computer connected

to the

Computer1

or

Computer2

port

Image from a computer with

an HDMI connection, or a

video player

Image from a computer or
iPad connected through a
wired or wireless network

2

To activate the toolbar, tap the board with the pen.
If you don’t see the

icon, tap the

icon and

then tap the

icon.

Note: If you only see the

icon, you are already in

PC Free Annotation mode.

3

To close the toolbar, select the

icon at the

bottom of the toolbar.

Note: Many of the built-in tools are the same as Easy
Interactive Tools, but fewer functions are available.

The BrightLink interactive pens turn any wall or table into
an interactive area, with or without a computer.

•

With a computer, you can use Easy Interactive Tools.

This software lets you use the interactive pen as a
mouse to annotate, save, and interact with content
from your computer.

•

Without a computer, you can use the toolbar that is

built into the projector (PC Free Annotation). This
lets you annotate images from a document camera,
tablet, DVD player, or other source connected to your
projector.

Students and colleagues can connect their own

laptops and annotate on the fly using the built-in
toolbar, without installing software.
