WARNING: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can damage your eyes.
Never let children look into the lens when it is on. Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and
filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you. Except as specifically
explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
WARNING: The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from small
children to avoid any risk of suffocation.
Caution: When you replace the lamp, never touch the new lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue left by
the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.

Displaying and Adjusting
the Image
Whether you’re presenting from a computer or video equipment,
you need to follow some basic steps to display your image on the
screen.
Follow the guidelines in this chapter for:
■Positioning the projector
■Turning on and off the projector
■Displaying an image
■Troubleshooting display problems
■Adjusting the image
1
15
note
You can mount the projector
on the ceiling, or place it
behind a translucent screen
for rear projection. See
page 185 for details.
Positioning the Projector
If the projector isn’t already installed in the room you’re using, you’ll
probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen, as shown.
This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and
remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to
leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to
get a good-size image.
Use the figure below to help you determine placement. Image size
increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you position
the zoom ring and whether you’ve adjusted the image with other
settings.
TBD
Also keep these considerations in mind:
■Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.
■Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and
under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of anything
that could block the vents under the projector.
■Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical
outlet or extension cord.
16Displaying and Adjusting the Image
2.7 to 4.6 ft5.7 to 9.4 ft29.7 to 48.2 ftDistance from screen
Ideally, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of
the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. The base of the lens
should be at about the level of the bottom of the screen.
Projector
Screen
If you place the projector below screen level, you’ll have to tilt it up by
extending the front adjustable foot. This causes the image to become
“keystone” shaped, but you can correct the distortion (see page 24).
For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location,
such as a theater or conference room, see page 185.
note
After positioning the
projector, you may want to
connect a Kensington
MicroSaver
device to the lock port on the
projector. You can purchase
this from Epson; see
page 13.

Turning On and Off the Projector
Turn on any connected computer or video equipment before starting
the projector so it can automatically detect and display the image
source. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of

Adjusting the Image
Once you see your image, you need to make certain adjustments:
■If the image is too high or too low, reposition it as described
below.
■To focus or zoom your image, see page 24.
■If the image isn’t square, see page 24.
■To quickly adjust the color, brightness, or contrast, see page 27.
■To change the image aspect ratio, see page 28.
■If you need to fine-tune the image and/or sound, see Chapter 6.
Adjusting the Height of the Image
If the image is too low on the screen, you can use the front adjustable
foot to raise it.
1.Stand behind the projector. Press the foot release lever up and lift
the front of the projector.
2.Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the lever
to lock the foot in position.
3.If necessary, you can fine-tune the height or level the image by
turning any of the projector’s adjustable feet.
Raising the projector causes the image to distort or “keystone,” but
you can correct the shape as described on page 24.
Displaying and Adjusting the Image23
Focusing and Zooming the Image
Turn the focus ring on the projector to sharpen the image.
Turn the zoom ring on the projector to reduce or enlarge the image.
Focus Zoom
If the image still isn’t large enough, you may need to move the
projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the
E-Zoom
buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a portion of the image.
See page 32 for instructions.
Adjusting the Image Shape
You can maintain a square or rectangular image by placing the
projector directly in front of the screen and keeping it level. This also
produces the best picture quality. If the projector is tilted up or placed
at an angle, you’ll need to correct the image shape by using one of the
functions described below.
Automatic Image Adjustment
Use the projector’s Quick Setup feature to set up quickly for a
presentation. This function automatically corrects the shape and
position of the image to fit on a screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. It can
correct image distortion when the projector is placed up to a 45° angle
to the screen (vertically) and 20° (horizontally).
1.Press the

Solving Connection Problems
If you don’t see your projector, check the following:
1.Make sure your wireless signal is strong enough to establish a
connection. If you have a Mac, check the AirPort icon on the Mac
menu bar. For Windows, see the documentation for your access
point or wireless network card or adapter.
2.Make sure you’re trying to connect to the right network. In
Windows, verify that you’ve enabled your computer’s connection
to the access point or that your wireless card or adapter is enabled,
and that its SSID matches the projector’s ESSID. In Mac OS X,
check the AirPort status menu (click the AirPort icon on your
menu bar) to make sure AirPort is turned on and the projector’s
ESSID or your AirPort network is selected.
3.Make sure you aren’t projecting one of the EasyMP configuration
screens. (You should see a message that the projector is ready to
connect.) If you have to exit a configuration screen, restart NS
Connection.
4.Make sure the ESSID for your projector matches the SSID for
your wireless card, adapter, or access point. If you have an AirPort
base station, make sure the projector’s ESSID matches the AirPort
network name. Remember that the ESSID is case-sensitive.
5.Check the IP address for both your projector and your wireless
card, adapter, access point, or AirPort base station. The first three
segments of the IP address should be identical. The last segment
of the projector’s IP address should be close, but not identical, to
the last segment of the IP address for your wireless interface,
access point, or base station.
6.Restart your computer and start NS Connection again.

Enabling Network Security
The projector includes the following network security options which
you can enable for network projection:
■Data encryption
Encode and transmit data. Even if data is intercepted, it cannot be
deciphered. See page 88 to enable encryption.
■Connection limitation (Authentication)
A user’s name and a password are registered in advance, which
means that only the registered wireless port can connect to the
network and prevents unauthorized third parties from connecting to
the network.
■Firewall
Prevents unauthorized computer access by closing ports that are
not used.The security functions that can be used with this
projector vary depending on the connection mode of the wireless
LAN. Use the firewall function provided with your OS.
The security functions that can be used with this projector vary
depending on the connection mode:
■Quick Connection Mode
Encrypted communication
note
The authentication and
firewall features are only
effective when the access
point for the connection
destination supports the
same functions.
You need to enable network security including WEP, WPA, EAP,
LEAP, or PEAP, or firewall settings on your network and on the
projector (see page 75). For network setting details, follow the
directions from your network administrator.
If using EAP, you need to make settings at the projector that match
the authentication server settings. Check with your network
administrator for details on RADIUS settings.
