CHAPTER 5 – TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR SMART BOARD INTERACTIVE 
WHITEBOARD

Adjusting the Projected Image

If your projector isn’t installed in a fixed location, you can correct many image 
problems by shifting your projector or adjusting its zoom lens. Optimally, you should 
have a margin of approximately 3/8" (1 cm) on both the right and left sides of the 
screen. You can then adjust the zoom lens to display a focused image.

NOTES
•

Don’t adjust the image size and geometry based on your projector’s splash 
screen. The splash screen image is much smaller than the computer’s 
projected image. Before you adjust the projected image, make sure that you 
set the computer’s resolution and refresh rate. See Configuring Your 
Computer Settings on page 25.

•

Complete the following steps only as required.

1. If the left and right edges of the projected image aren’t parallel, raise or lower your 

projector at the front or back until the edges are parallel.

2. If the top and bottom edges aren’t parallel, turn the projector slowly until the edges 

are parallel.

3. Further adjust your projector using small, slow movements until you’re satisfied 

with the projected image.

–

Correct the image’s horizontal and vertical position by adjusting the height 
and position of the projector platform or stand.

–

Adjust the image laterally by sliding the projector to the left or right.

–

Adjust the image size by moving the projector forward or backward 
to increase or reduce the image size, until it correctly fills the screen.

4. Make fine adjustments to the image level and size according to your projector 

manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Create a clear image by adjusting your projector’s focus function.
