Make sure your projector has been setup correctly in windows. It's all in the instructions.

I get this sometimes. It depends on how things are turned on-off. If the projector is turned on after Contour is started it doesn't see it always. Or if auto shut off is click and you go print again and turn on the projector. Try clicking connect to controller, next time it happens.

I get that only when the projector has been auto-turned on by Contour when trying to home. If you turn your PC on, and manually turn on the projector BEFORE you open Contour, you won't get that message. However, you can ignore that message and just hit print again and it should work fine afterwards.

It takes time for windows to register that the projector is turned on. It's always best to turn on the projector by pressing the power button right before you plan on printing. That way, you can avoid that delay.
