About this manual... This manual explains function and operations when any one of the following devices is connected to the USB port of the CASIO XJ-S36/XJ-S46 Data Projector.
About the Data Projector’s USB Functions The USB port that is built into the Data Projector lets you connect an external USB device and use it as an input source for image projection. USB Memory Device or Memory Card You can connect a commercially available USB memory device or USB card reader to the USB port and project images and movies stored on the USB memory device or memory card. XJ-S36/XJ-S46 USB memory device Refer to the following for details.
Wireless Adapter (CASIO YW-2) Establishing a connection between the Data Projector and a computer over a wireless LAN makes it possible to project the display contents of the computer’s screen from the Data Projector. XJ-S36/XJ-S46 CASIO YW-2 You can have up to four computers connected to the Data Projector over a wireless LAN at the same time. Use the remote controller that comes with the Data Projector to select which of the four computer screens you want to project.
Document Camera (CASIO YC-400/YC-430) You can connect a CASIO Document Camera to the Data Projector’s USB port and project the images of documents placed on the document stage of the YC-400/YC-430. XJ-S36/XJ-S46 YC-400/YC-430 USB For more information, see “Performing a Presentation Using the YC-400/YC-430 Document Camera” on page 47.
Connecting a USB Device to the Data Projector What happens when you connect a USB device to the Data Projector depends on the current configuration of the Data Projector’s plug-and-play setting. Plug-and-play is enabled under the Data Projector’s initial default settings. For more details about the plug-and-play setting, see “Setup Menu Contents” in the User’s Guide.
Connecting to a USB Device while the Data Projector is On If you connect a USB device to the Data Projector’s USB port while it is turned on, it will perform one of the following operations (depending on its current plug-and-play setting). When plug-and-play is enabled: When this type of device is connected: USB memory device or USB card reader with memory card loaded The Data Projector does this automatically: Starts up Viewer (page 27) and projects the Viewer screen.

Playing a Presentation with Viewer Viewer is a Data Projector built-in application for playing back image and movie files that are stored on a memory device that is currently loaded via the Data Projector’s USB port (USB memory device, memory card loaded in a USB card reader, etc.) Viewer starts up automatically when a supported USB memory device is plugged into the Data Projector USB port, or when a memory card is loaded into a USB card reader that is connected to the Data Projector’s USB port.
Connecting a USB Card Reader to the Data Projector 1 Turn on the Data Projector. 2 Connect the USB card reader to the Data Projector USB port. 3 Load the memory card that contains the data you want to project with Viewer into the card slot of the USB card reader. z Wait until the Data Projector’s POWER/STANDBY indicator is lit green. z For details about how to load a memory card into the USB card reader, see the user documentation that comes with the reader.
Drive Menu Operations If the USB memory device or memory card has multiple drives, a menu of drives will appear when Viewer starts up. There are two different views for the drive menu: an icon view and a tree view. Icon View Tree View Note All detected drives are displayed with a USB memory device icon, regardless of the media type (USB memory device or any type of memory card).
File Menu Operations There are two different views for the file menu: a thumbnail view and a tree view. Thumbnail View Tree View Thumbnail View This view shows thumbnails of the image files and movie files contained on the USB memory device or memory card. Folders are shown as icons.
