• Before making connections, read the instruction manual of the equipment to be connected.

• Use the optional USB cable to connect.

• Effective with USB only when the mouse is used.

• Do not use with any device other than a personal computer.

• When using with Windows 95, it is necessary to set so that USB can be used with version
OSR 2.1 or higher. Depending on the kind or the version of the host controller,

operation may not be

possible in some cases.

• In the case of notebook type computers with a built-in pointing device such as a track ball, in
some cases the built-in pointing device will have priority even if a mouse is connected and
the mouse may not be selected.

In such case, disable the built-in pointing device and change the BIOS setting (system setup)
so that an external mouse can be selected.
After changing the BIOS setting, perform the operations described in 1 - 3 above.
Refer to the computer hardware manual concerning the BIOS setting.

Also, some computers may not have a utility program to operate a mouse. Refer to the
computer hardware manual.

1. Mouse functions

(1)Turn off the main power switches of the projector and computer and connect the two units with the cable

provided or an optional suitable commercially available cable. Disconnect the USB cable from the

projector.
(2)Turn on the main switch of the projector (the ON indicator lamp will light green).
(3) Press the INPUT button of the projector or the RGB button of the remote control and select the input

where the computer is to be connected.
(4) Turn on the computer power supply.
(5) Start the mouse function.

If the mouse has not been started, reboot the computer (soft reboot or reboot buttons).
(6) Refer to page 10 concerning remote control operation.
(7) Varying the force with which the DISK PAD button is pressed varies the speed of mouse operation.

The command code configuration consists of a 2-byte command and the following data.

• The first byte of a command indicates the command type with 3 bits on the MSB side and the data length
with 4 bits on the LSB side.

Projector - computer Computer - projector
‘0xH’ : Error code ‘2xH’ : inquiry code
‘1xH’ : response code ‘3xH’ : setting code
‘70H’ : frame error code ‘4xH’ : default setting code
‘x’ indicates the data length (example: x=2 means a 2-byte command).

• The second byte of a command indicates the command contents.

Connection to the control signal terminal (contin ued)

Requesting projector status

(1) Send the request code ‘20H’ +

‘

yyH’ from the computer to the projector.

(2) The projector returns the response code ‘1xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data to the computer.

Changing the projector settings

(1) Send the setting code ‘3xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data from the computer to the projector.
(2) The projector changes the setting based on the above setting code.
(3) The projector returns the response code ‘1xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data to the computer.

Using the projector default settigns

(1) The computer sends the default setting code ‘40H’ + ‘yyH’ to the projector.
(2) The projector changes the specified setting to the default value.
(3) The projector returns the default value with the response code ‘1xH’ + ‘yyH’ =data.

When a command sent by the projector cannot be understood by the computer

(1) The computer sends the command code

‘

3xH’ , ‘4xH’ or ‘4xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data to the projector.

(2) When the command sent by the projector cannot be understood, the error command ‘00H’ + ‘yyH’ is

returned by the computer.

When data sent by the projector cannot be understood

(1) The computer sends the command code ‘3xH’ , ‘4xH’ or ‘4xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data to the projector.
(2) When the command sent by the projector cannot be understood, the the error code ‘0xH’ +‘yyH’ +data is

returned.

When the data length is greater than indicated by the data length code, the projector will ignore the excess data code.
Conversely, when the data length is shorter than indicated by the data length code, an error code will be
returned to the projector.

When a frame error occurs

Repeats 10 times per second until there is some sort of response to the error code 70H + 70H.

When the interval between bytes in one command is 500ms or greater

When a command or data is not sent within 500ms after the command code ‘2xH’ , ‘3xH’ or ‘4xH’ is sent by
the computer, the error command ‘70H’ +‘70H’ will be returned as soon as the 500ms elapses. After this, if
there is no response within 1 sec., a frame error will occur.

The response data in (3) above need not match the setting data in (1).
For example, when the projector cannot set the setting data in (1), the projector may set the
closest value. That value will be used as the response data in (3). Or else the projector will
return the error code ‘0xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data.

• Operation cannot be guaranteed when the projector receives an undefined command or data.

• Provide an interval of at least 40ms between the response code and any other code.
