Using the Interactive Tool with Epson BriteLink 696ui Projector
On the Meramec campus, we have four classrooms (CN128, CN226, CN228, HE112) that have Epson BriteLink 696ui Projectors installed in them that have interactive capabilities.
When you log into the instructor station PC, the Easy Interactives Tools software should open automatically. The pens are located in a white plastic Epson case that is mounted to the whiteboard by the instructor’s station (pictured below)
