Controlling Computer Features from a Projected Screen (PC Interactive Mode)

You can navigate, select, and interact with your computer programs from the projected screen using the interactive pens or your finger just as you would a mouse.
Note: A Touch Unit is optional for the BrightLink 1480Fi+ and must be installed for finger touch operation. Mac users need to install the Easy Interactive Driver before using PC Interactive mode. Go to epson.com.jm/support and select your projector.
  1. Connect your computer to your projector using an HDMI, VGA, USB, or wired or wireless network connection.
    Note: When connected via USB, enable the USB Display setting in the projector's Signal I/O menu and connect the computer to the projector's USB-B1 port. When projecting using USB Display, response time may be slower.
  2. If you are connecting your computer to one of the projector's HDMI or Computer ports, connect your computer to the projector's USB-B1 port for interactivity.
    Note: When using the control pad (BrightLink 1485Fi+), you need to connect your computer to the control pad with an HDMI cable and a USB cable plugged in to the control pad's USB-B port. If you are connecting over a network, you do not need a USB cable. If you are connecting using Screen Mirroring, hold down the Windows key and press the letter K on your keyboard, then select Allow mouse, keyboard, touch, and pen input from this device.
  3. Turn on your projector and computer to project your computer screen.
  4. Press the Menu button on the remote control, select the Pen/Touch menu, and press the  Enter button.


  5. Select the PC Interactivity setting and press the  Enter button.
  6. Select one of the following as the Pen Tracking Mode depending on the operating system your computer is using:
    • Pen Mode: Windows or Mac
    • Mouse Mode: Ubuntu
  7. Press the  Enter button and press the Menu button to exit the projector's menus.
  8. Hover near or tap on the board or the projected image with the interactive pen or your finger.
  9. Make sure that PC Interactivity is enabled on the toolbar.
    Note: You can use PC Interactive mode when connected over a network or with a USB cable (connecting via USB is recommended). When connected via USB, enable the USB Display setting in the projector's Signal I/O menu and connect the computer to the projector's USB-B1 port or the USB-B port on the control pad (BrightLink 1485Fi+). When projecting using USB Display, response time may be slower.
    You can now operate the computer using the interactive pens or your finger.
