Quick Tips for Optimizing mimio Xi Performance
• Keep the mimio stylus you are using as close to a 90-degree angle to the board as possible.
• Maintain a firm but even pressure with the stylus on the board. If you can hear the
“buzzing” noise, the stylus is generating a signal and mimio Xi will capture what you write.
• When replacing the marker pens chisel tips are better for fine work than bullet tip markers.
(Most office supplies outlets stock both types).
• Every now and then use a quality whiteboard cleaner on the board to remove acculated Ink
residue.
• The more accurately you calibrate the board when in mimioMouse mode the easier you will
you find using drag and drop functions from the board, etc.
• You can use your mimio Xi and software as a tool for creating annotated screen shots or
printouts of computer screen images. All the annotated screenshot images in this manual
were created on the PC by opening mimio, attaching the capture bar, running the
mimioMouse calibration and then using the mimioMouse tools from the to annotate the
computer screens with highlights, arrows (from whiteboard or keyboard). Use the camera
icon to save the screen captures as jpeg or .bmp files, which can be embedded in a document.
• When working with mimioMouse always make sure that the stylus is in rectangle selection
tool mode when not using the soft pens to ensure that you do not create electronic ink when
you attempt to pick up something for export with the Mouse stylus.
This is particularly
important when exiting Full Screen mode in the mimio software.
• When using a projected image to display captured ink from the whiteboard adjust the line
thickness to suit in the Stylus Set so that the captured ink is bolder.
• Once you have used screen capture and no longer need the original mark up, delete them
from your computer since they are bitmaps and take up a lot of memory.
• Always remember to replace caps on the mimio styli – the markers will dry up the same as
any other dry-erase marker when not capped.
• Never place the permanent eraser holder in the line of site of the capture bar. We recommend
that you place it directly
underneath the capture bar so that it does overlap any active area
of the mimio-enabled whiteboard.
• Remember that you cannot use more than one mimio stylus or the mimio eraser at the
same moment. The capture bar can only recognize one signal source at a time.
• Ensure that the styli and erasers are not generating a signal when not in use (i.e. depressing
the nib of a stylus in your hand while using another one) for the same reason as above.
• If you have any problems call our technical support team (877.846.3721 in the US or
[phone] in the UK or your local Master Distributor (Asia Pacific)).
• Ensure that all cables are safely placed and shielded to avoid accidents.
• The styli are designed so that if you drop them they will not land nib first. However care
should be taken to
avoid excessive dropping to avoid possibility of damage and required
replacement.
• AC Adapters (Xi only), Stylus Pens, Extended Color smartCaps, USB Cables, USB Active
Extension Cables, additional Mounting Brackets and Eraser Felt Pads are among
replaceable
or optional accessories
available from your mimio dealer.
• The main consumables are batteries and dry-erase marker pens.
• A mimio Xi carry case, only slightly larger than a typical laptop case can be purchased from
your reseller, designed to hold all mimio Xi system components securely in one place.
