Installation and user’s guide
Introduction
The IBM iL2120 and iL2220 multimedia projectors are specifically designed for
multipurpose use. They generate crisp, clear images using Digital Light
Processing
™
(DLP) technology, and feature an M1-DA connector for easy,
built-in digital/analog and USB connectivity. They are easy to connect, easy to
use, easy to transport, and easy to maintain. The iL2120 has native SVGA 800
x 600 resolution, the iL2220 has XGA 1024 x 768 resolution. The user-interfaces
of the two products are identical; information in this user’s guide applies to
both products.
The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video standards:
NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60, and SECAM. It automatically
adjusts to optimize its performance for the incoming video.
Image resolution
iL2120
The SVGA resolution of the iL2120 projected image is 800 x 600. The projector
cannot compress screen resolutions above 1024 x 768. If your computer screen
resolution is higher than 1024 x 768, reset it to a lower resolution before you
connect the projector.
Note: The iL2120 projector automatically expands 640 x 480 images to 800 x
600. You can display these images at their native resolutions by turning
off the Auto Resize feature. See “Resize”on page 21 for more
information.
iL2220
The XGA resolution of the iL2220 projected image is 1024 x 768. The projector
cannot compress screen resolutions above 1024 x 768. If your computer screen
resolution is higher than 1024 x 768, reset it to a lower resolution before you
connect the projector.
Note: The iL2220 automatically expands 640 x 480 and 800 x 600 images to
1024 x 768. You can display these images at their native resolutions by
turning off the Auto Resize feature. See “Resize”on page 21 for more
information.

Usage guidelines
Observe the following guidelines when using the projector.
Attention: Do no look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is
turned on. The bright light might harm your eyes.
Attention: Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the airflow
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must wait a minute
before attempting to turn it back on.
vHandle the projector as you would any product with glass components. Be
especially careful not to drop it.
Installation and user’s guide 3

vAvoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended
periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before
use.
vTransport the projector in a carrying case. See Appendix A for information
on ordering accessories for your projector.
Setting up the projector
Use the following procedure to set up the projector:
1. Place the projector on a flat surface.
vThe projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and
within 6 feet (1.8 m) of the computer.
vIf you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the
projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection”on page 23 for
instructions for reversing the image.
vIf you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation
guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To
turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling Projection”on page 23. The
Ceiling Mount is sold separately. See “Accessories”on page 36.
2. Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
vThe distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom
setting determine the size of the projected image. The following
illustration shows three projected image sizes. For more information
about image size, see Appendix D.
3. Make sure that the projector is unplugged and your computer is turned
off.
4iL2120 IBM Value Data/Video Projector, iL2220 Conference Room Data/Video Projector: User’s Guide

Note: If you are connecting the projector to a computer, make sure that the
distance between the computer and the projector is six feet or less.
Connect the cables to the corresponding control panel by matching the
icons. Reference the following two illustrations.

1Audio cable 2MI-DA analog computer cable 3USB mouse
Note: Many mobile computers do not automatically turn on their external
video port when a secondary display device such as a projector is
connected. See your computer manual for the command that activates
the external video port. Press Fn F7 on your IBM ThinkPad to activate
the external display. Activation commands for some mobile computers
are listed Appendix B.
Note: If you are connecting the projector to an older Macintosh computer that
does not have a 15-pin connector, you must use a Mac adapter between
the computer and the projector. See “Accessories”on page 36.
To control the computer mouse from the projector remote control or keypad,
plug the USB end of the M1-DA analog computer cable into the mouse
connector on your computer. If your computer has a PS/2 mouse connector
and not a USB mouse connector, you can purchase the optional Cable Wizard3
which has a PS/2 mouse connector or the Executive Remote IR Receiver. See
“Accessories”on page 36.
Note: The USB mouse is supported for use only with Microsoft
®
Windows
®
98, Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, and Apple OS 8.5 and later.
To play the audio from your computer audio on the projector, plug either end
of the audio cable into the audio connector on your computer. Plug the other
end of the audio cable into the speaker connector on the projector.
Note: You do not need to restart your computer after connecting a USB
mouse to use it (it is hot-pluggable).
Installation and user’s guide 7

For information about starting the projector and computer, go to “Starting up
the projector and adjusting the image”on page 10.
Connecting a video player
Use the following procedure to connect a video player.
If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video connector,
you’ll need only the audio cable, audio adapter, and composite video cable
that comes with the projector. If your video player uses a round, four-prong
S-video connector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the audio cable
and audio adapter. See “Accessories”on page 36.
1. Plug the yellow connector of the composite video cable into the
“video-out”connector on your video player. This connector might be
labeled “To Monitor.”Or, if you are using an S-video cable, connect it to
the “S-video out”connector on the video player. Refer to the following
two illustrations.
2. Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video connector on the
projector. Or, if you are using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into
the “S-video”connector on the projector.
Note: HDTV sources must be connected to the projector using the M1-DA
computer cable (not a composite or S-video cable). See the previous
pages for details on connecting this cable.

5. Plug the audio cable into the “audio in”connector on the projector.
Note: The audio adapter is provided so that the same audio cable that is used
to connect a computer can be used with the adapter to connect a VCR.
Note: Your video player might also have a “Video Out”connector for a
coaxial cable connection. Do not use this to connect to the projector.
