Troubleshooting
- No image on display
First verify that the document camera has power by looking for the power indicator light on the left side of the controls. The power switch is located on the left side of the unit, and should be left in the “on” position. Next, make sure the “Input select” light is turned off on the front panel of the document camera. Also check that the “Still picture” light is turned off as well. - Image not positioned correctly
Zoom in and out on the image using the “Wide” and “Tele” buttons under the Zoom section of the control panel. Then position your document. - Image is out of focus
Press the “Auto” button under the Focus section of the control panel. If fine tuning is necessary, use the “Near” and “Far” buttons. - Image is too bright or too dark
Use the controls under the White Balance and Exposure sections of the control panel to adjust the image. In most cases, White Balance can be set to “Auto” and then exposure adjusted to the desired level.
