The ELMO visual presenter allows you to display documents or 3-D objects on the video monitors.

Simple steps for presenting printed materials:

1. Select "ELMO" on the Scan Doubler.
2. Turn on the power switch of the Visual Presenter.
   • Various functions for the Visual Presenter are initialized.
   • Their respective indicators display the initial settings of those functions.

3. Select [UPPER LIGHTING] lighting button.

4. Place the object on the stage.

   • While observing the image on the podium monitor, adjust the zoom button to obtain the optimum size.

5. Press the auto focus button to focus.
   • The covered area of the auto focus function is up to about 10cm above the stage surface.

Simple steps for viewing transparencies and x-rays:

1. Press the [BASE] lighting button. (The [BASE] indicator light comes on, and the built-in base light illuminates.)
2. Press the Nega/Posi conversion button, so that the indicator shows [N] (Negative) mode.
3. Place the object on the stage.
4. While observing the image on the TV monitor, adjust the zoom button to obtain the optimum size.
5. When turning off the base light, press the [BASE] lighting button again.

• Use the upper lighting unit for viewing materials such as printer matter and 3-D objects. Use the base light for viewing slides, negative film transparencies and x-rays.
• When you press the lighting button, the indicator flashes, and after a few seconds, the fluorescent lamps illuminate.
• To turn the lamps off, press the lighting button again. It is not possible to simultaneously use both the upper lighting unit and the base light.
• It is advisable to use the upper lighting unit to obtain the clear image with better color rendering, especially when the stage is not sufficiently illuminated by room lights or where a 3-D object is to be viewed.

Neg/Pos conversion:

• Use this function to view negative film as positive images.
• Press the Neg/POs conversion button, so the indicator shows [N] (negative).

Color/B&W selection:

• Use this mode to view B&W materials such as documents.
• For normal use, set to [C] (color) mode.
• Pressing the color/B&W button changes to [B&W] or [C] mode in succession.

Zoom:

• When the zoom button is pressed to select [TELE], the images gets larger.
• Select [WIDE], the image gets smaller.

Auto Focus:

• When you press the auto focus button, the indication lamp flashes during focusing.
• The Visual Presenter features a one-step auto focus function. Once focusing is completed, the auto focus function is released. Even if the object is moved, the focus remains unchanged.
• To focus the image with auto focus setting, set the zoom button at extreme telephoto position. This allows you to obtain a sharper image.
  • It is difficult to automatically focus on an object under the following conditions. Select the manual focus mode for the following conditions:
    1. Objects containing little contrast
    2. Objects having a fine repeated pattern, such as lateral stripes, or a checkered pattern
    3. Bright object or one reflecting strong light
    4. The background of the object is bright, or the contrast is too clear
    5. Picture plane itself is dark
    6. The positions of the objects are far and near
    7. Moving object
    8. Note: when using the manual focus during auto focusing, the auto focus function is canceled

Manual Focus:

• Press the focus button [N] or [F] for manual focusing.
• This function should be used to view 3-D objects. Any part of the object can then be brought into focus.
  • Note: The coverage area of manual focusing is up to approximately 10cm above the stage surface.
