Installation Options

  1. Cable Hookup: Installing the Mimio is fairly straight forward. Two connections are required to successfully run the Mimio. Make sure the ps2 and serial ports are available. The ps2 port is for powering the Mimio and the serial port is to recognize the Driver. Failure to connect both cables will make the Mimio inoperative.
  2. Device Conflicts:Whether you are using Microsoft Windows '95, 98 or NT, make sure that any infrared drivers and palm pilot device drivers are not activated upon booting up your computer. If they are active, the Mimio will not work.
  3. Batteries: To ensure that all markers and erasers are operational, please verify that a charged battery is loaded within each marker chasis and eraser puck.
  4. Software: The proprietary Mimio software that is included in the package, must be installed on the computer that will be connected to the Mimio device.
  5. Pen Markers: Use Dry Erase Markers. Not all pens will fit the pen holders provided with the Mimio package. Please verify pen size before purchasing additional pens.
  6. Surfaces: Make sure that all surfaces to be used with the Mimio are flat and smooth, thereby ensuring that images will be reproduced accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs

  1. An error message states that the serial port can't open. Why? Most probably due to a device conflict. Make sure no other device is also using the same port. For example, a Personal Data Assistant (i.e. PalmPilot). If your computer has an infrared port, make sure this is disabled as well.
  2. I don't have a serial port available. What can I do?: Mimio can also operate with a USB port and a 3rd party USB-to-serial adapter. Please call us before purchasing a USB port. Not all products are compatible with the Mimio.
  3. Why are my drawings not being recorded?: Assuming all hardware is connected properly, verify whether you have multiple mimio session files open. Perhaps you failed to attach the capture bar to the current mimio session. Alternatively, make sure there is an active session file. If not, click 'NEW' from the File Menu to open a new session file.
  4. My marker styli are not being picked up by Mimio. Why?: Verify that the batteries are still charged. This is the most likely explanation. If the batteries are okay, then check all hardware connections.
