The projector can be aligned to your screen by either using the projector's remote control or by using the Dual Video card adjustments. It usually takes a combination of both these devices to align the screen properly. You should only have to align the screen once.

Here is a PowerPoint file that will help you align the projector. Click on the image to download the file. The file has a thin white boarder around the edge. If you cannot see one of the white edges, then the projected image is being cropped. This can cause things to look off-center and potentially clip text and images.

STEP 1. Load the Screen Alignment file and send it to the projector.

STEP 2. Make sure the projected image is not being digitally zoomed. If you are missing the white boarder on some of the edges your projector may be in digital zoom mode. Digital zoom allows you to zoom in on a portion of the projected image.

STEP 3. Use the zoom feature on the remote control to fit the image as best you can to the screen.

STEP 4. There is usually a drop down menu option on the projectors menu that will allow you to shift the image right, left, up and down. In some cases you can adjust the projector with this command. If the image slides instead of moving you will have to adjust the image using the Dual Video Card adjustments.
