The Basics
Congratulations on your purchase of the IW2 Wireless Interactive
Whiteboard System. After a few simple steps, your system will be
calibrated and ready to use.
Your package should contain the following:
The IPEVO Wireless Interactive Whiteboard System, or IW2, turns your
large projector screen into an interactive touchscreen, giving you
the ability to easily draw and annotate for education and business.
Plus, because IW2 is compatible with many different kinds of soft-
ware, you’ll also be able to control your computer (and what’s on the
screen) at a distance. And this is all possible no matter what make and
model of projector you have.

Use the Interactive Pen as a Computer Cursor
The Interactive Pen can behave like a mouse, transforming any surface
into a touchscreen. Use the Pen to intuitively perform the actions you’d
normally use your mouse to perform.
Note: The Interactive Pen can perform normal mouse actions including click, double click,
and drag. However, some actions are not executable with the Pen, such as hovering.
Annotate Your Text and Images
Using the free screen annotation software IPEVO Annotator, you can
draw and write directly on your interactive whiteboard. You can even
draw on top of your document camera’s live video feed. Engage your
audience and clarify your material.
Two Ways to Use IW2
3
IW2 is made up of three devices: the Interactive Pen, the Sensor Cam,
and the Wireless Receiver (attached at the bottom of the Interactive
Pen). The Interactive Pen emits infrared signals on contact or by
pressing the IPEVO button on the Pen, the Sensor Cam, which acts as
the “eye” of IW2, then reads the infrared signals emitted and detects
the physical location of the Pen. As the Sensor cam works in the same
way as how our eyes work, it is necessary to ensure any tappings
or movements made with the Interactive Pen could be “seen” and
detected by the Sensor Cam. Thus, please keep a clear path between
the Sensor Cam and the Pen, otherwise, these actions would not be
detected.
After detecting the physical location of the Pen, the Sensor Cam sends
this information wirelessly via the paired Wireless Receiver (which
must be plugged into the computer’s USB port) to your computer,
which then translates the Pen’s motion into cursor motion. Thus,
wherever you move the Pen, the computer will also move its cursor
in real time. You can also perform mouse clicks and drags with the
Interactive Pen.

Installing IW2
1. Driver & Software Installation
IW2 requires IPEVO IW Driver to function. IW2 also comes with a free
screen annotation software IPEVO Annotator. You can choose to install
and use the IPEVO Annotator with your IW2.
Please visit the IPEVO website to download the latest version of IW
Driver and IPEVO Annotator at:
support.ipevo.com/IW2
Note: IW2 can be used with third-party mouse-based image processing software, but we
highly recommend using it with IPEVO Annotator to fully utilize the potential of your IW2.
After downloading,
For PC:
1. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the onscreen prompts
to complete the installation for IW Driver.
2. Follow the onscreen prompts to accept or decline installation of the
Annotator software.
3. An IW Driver icon will appear at the bottom right-hand side of the
task bar after the installation is completed.
For Mac:
1. Double-click the downloaded file. Two icons, “IW Driver” and
“Annotator” will appear.
2. Drag the IW Driver icon and Annotator icon into the Application
folder to complete the installation for both, or only drag the IW
Driver icon into the Application folder to install the IW Driver.

2. Positioning the Sensor Cam
Proper position of the Sensor Cam is important for optimum operation.
Follow these guidelines to place the Sensor Cam:
• For most projectors, a good position for the Sensor Cam will be the
same location as the projector. One exception to this is if you are us-
ing a short-throw projector. In that case, you will need to place the
Sensor Cam further away from the screen than the projector.
• Minimal distance from your screen depends on screen size. Place the
Sensor Cam according to the recommended distances in the chart
below:
Screen Size 60” 70” 80” 100”
Minimal
Distance
8 ft
(243 cm)
9 ft
(275 cm)
10 ft
(305 cm)
11 ft
(335 cm)
• The Sensor Cam should face directly at the projection screen.
Depending on your screen’s height, you may have to adjust the
Sensor Cam’s lens to face upwards or downwards. Adjust the
hinged metal base to easily perform any such adjustments.
• The Sensor Cam is best placed opposite the center of the screen at
a straight-on angle. However, a straight-on angle is not required
for acceptable operation, and the Sensor Cam may be placed at
another angle if necessary. Please refer to the diagram on the
following page for placement zones according to accuracy quality:
8
As you can see:
• Accuracy is better when the Sensor Cam is closer to the center.
• Accuracy decreases as the angle increases.
• Larger screens require more distance between the screen and the
Sensor Cam.
Note: Please keep a clear path between the Sensor Cam and the projection screen to ensure
proper operation.
It’s important to make sure your Sensor Cam is steady and secure
before use. There are three ways to secure your Sensor Cam,
depending on your setup:
3. Securing the Sensor Cam
A. Place on a table or AV cart
Use a flat, smooth tabletop or an AV cart. Make sure nothing is
blocking the Sensor Cam’s path to the screen surface. Adjust the angle
of the Sensor Cam to face directly at the center of the screen surface.

B. Use an upside-down ceiling mount
The Sensor Cam can be mounted upside-down onto the ceiling or
ceiling-mounted projector. To do so:
1. Align the hole on the base of the Sensor Cam with the circular peg of
the ceiling mount and push the Sensor Cam in. You will hear a slight
click when the Sensor Cam has settled into position.
2. Before affixing the mount to the ceiling, hold the Sensor Cam in an
area just below (by a few inches) where you intend to mount the
projector. Run the Sensor Cam position Diagnosis (see Page 15) with
the Sensor Cam in this position to ensure maximum accuracy.
10
Note: The adhesive sticker of ceiling mount is extremely adhesive and should only be ap-
plied once. The Sensor Cam can be detached without removing the ceiling mount. Simply
remove the Sensor Cam from the ceiling mount.
C. Use a tripod
The Sensor Cam comes with a tripod mount. Consider mounting the
Sensor Cam onto any standard tripod.

IPEVO Annotator is a simple and intuitive screen annotation, recording,
image capturing and editing software that comes with IW2 for free. It
can be used in combination with many other third-party software or ap-
plications. When the Interactive Pen is paired with the Annotator, you can
easily draw and annotate on images projected onto the screen just like
a regular whiteboard marker, regardless of the software or applications
running in the background.
Note: The IPEVO Annotator may not work with certain software and/or applications running in
full screen mode.
If you have not previously installed IPEVO Annotator together with the
IW Driver, or have not upgraded IPEVO Annotator to the latest version,
please visit the Annotator’s website for downloading at:

How do I quickly determine a good working distance between the
screen and the Sensor Cam?
Normally, the projector is a good location to place the Sensor Cam.
If you are using a short-throw projector, however, please refer to
Page 7 for the recommended Sensor Cam distance guidelines.
Can I use rechargeable AAA batteries for the Interactive Pen?
Yes. Rechargeable alkaline batteries are recommended.
Can I use IW2 with my own software instead of IPEVO Annotator?
Yes. IW2 can be used with third-party image processing software
and whiteboards. Any mouse-based software should work fine.
Can I use IW2 with a TV or monitor instead of a projector?
Yes you can, but we do not recommend it due to the following
considerations:
1. The TV/monitor screen could be scratched over time from all the
Pen swipes.
2. The brightness of the TV/monitor can cause eye fatigue over long
sessions.
3. If the TV/monitor is not firmly mounted, it might move once you
start tapping, throwing off the calibration.
What should I do if the cursor is not pointing correctly and/or
following the Interactive Pen correctly?
The cursor may lose accuracy if the screen resolution or screen ratio
has changed, or if the Sensor Cam has been moved. Please run the
calibration process again. See Pages 12~14.
Why is there no scrollbar in my browser or finder window in Mac
OS X when using IW2?
By default, the scrollbar is enabled only when a mouse is connected
to Mac. You can manually enable the scrollbar by going to System
Preferences -> General and set “Show scroll bars” to “Always”.
FAQ
23
How do I pair the Sensor Cam with the Wireless Receiver?
By default, your Sensor Cam is already paired with the Wireless
Receiver that comes with it. That said, if you are using a
replacement Wireless Receiver or Sensor Cam, you need to pair
them before use. To pair your devices:
1. Place the Sensor Cam within 1.6 ft (50cm) of your computer (and
the Wireless Receiver).
2. Power up the Sensor Cam. The Sensor Cam LED indicator should
show a blinking Orange.
3. Press the Pairing Button for 3 seconds to enter Pairing Mode.
The Sensor Cam LED indicator should blink alternately between
Orange and Green.
4. Plug the Wireless Receiver into your computer's USB port. The
Sensor Cam LED indicator will blink Green three times before
changing to a solid Green, which lets you know the pairing was
successful.
24
When I tap on the corners during calibration, the dots don’t fall within
the projection screen.
Move the Sensor Cam closer to the area where the corresponding dots
do not appear. Or, move the Sensor Cam further away from the screen.
Run the calibration process again. See Pages 12-14.
The cursor on my screen is jumping around abnormally and I am not
able to control it.
Remove any strong light source or infrared equipment close to the
Sensor Cam, as these may interfere with the Sensor Cam.
During calibration, multiples spots appear or spots appear erratically.
1. Remove any strong light source or infrared equipment close to the
Sensor Cam, as these may interfere with the Sensor Cam.
2. Ensure the projector screen you are using is not made of highly re-
flective glass or metal. Such reflective materials affect Sensor Cam’s
operation.
The pen trace continually breaks when I write or draw with the
Interactive Pen.
1. The Sensor Cam might be placed too far away from the screen. Move
the Sensor Cam closer to the screen and run the calibration process
again. See Pages 12-14.
2. Pen trace can only occur if the Sensor Cam’s vision field is not
blocked. Please do not draw or write with your body blocking the
Sensor Cam.
3. Replace the batteries in the Interactive Pen. Low batteries can have
an adverse affect on pen trace and accuracy.
The LED indicator of the Sensor Cam blinks alternately between
Orange and Green, and the pen trace continually breaks when I write
or draw with the Interactive Pen.

Sensor Cam and the Wireless Receiver. Move the Sensor Cam within
16 ft (5m) of the Wireless Receiver, and check that the LED indicator on
Troubleshooting
25
the Sensor Cam changes to a solid Green before continue using the
Interactive Pen.
My pen trace and pointing are inaccurate after I change screen
resolution.
Changing the screen resolution throws off the calibration. Please run
the calibration process after every resolution change. See Pages 12~14.
My pen and cursor lose accuracy every now and then.
Please make sure the Sensor Cam is positioned on a flat and stable
surface. A slight tip of the Sensor Cam may result in inaccurate
operation.
