Projector Placement
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project your presentation.
You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.
• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or
next to anything that could block the vents.
• Position the projector within 9.8 feet (3 m) of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Projection Distance
The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the
image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on
the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.
Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on
the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.)

Wireless Network Projection
You can send images to your PowerLite 1760W/1770W/1775W projector through a wireless network. To
do this, you must install the optional Epson 802.11g/b/n wireless LAN module (included with the
PowerLite 1775W), and then set up your projector and computer for wireless projection.
There are two ways to connect the projector to your wireless network:
• Using the optional Epson Quick Wireless Connection USB key (Windows only; included with the
PowerLite 1775W)
• Configuring the connection manually using the projector's Network menus
After installing the module and setting up the projector, install the network software from the EpsonProjector Software for Meeting & Presentation CD on your computer. Use the following software and
documentation to set up, control, and monitor wireless projection:
• EasyMP Network Projection software sets up your computer for wireless network projection. See the
EasyMP Network Projection Operation Guide installed from your projector CD for instructions.
• Easy Management EasyMP Monitor software (Windows only) lets you monitor and control your
projector through the network. You can download the latest software and documentation from the
Epson web site. Go to www.epson.com/support (U.S.) or www.epson.ca/support (Canada) and select
your projector.
