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.) You can also
use the projector Throw Distance Calculator at epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).

Your projector needs little maintenance to keep working at its best.
You may need to clean the lens periodically, and clean the air filter and air vents to prevent the projector
from overheating due to blocked ventilation.
The only parts you should replace are the lamp, air filter, and remote control batteries. If any other part
needs replacing, contact Epson or an authorized Epson servicer.
Warning: Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never open
any cover on the projector, except as specifically explained in this manual. Dangerous electrical voltages
in the projector can injure you severely.

Where to Get Help
Cleaning the Lens
Clean the projector's lens periodically, or whenever you notice dust or smudges on the surface.
• To remove dust or smudges, gently wipe the lens with lens-cleaning paper.
92
• To remove stubborn smudges, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the
lens. Do not spray any liquid directly on the lens.
Warning: Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas. The high heat generated by the
projector lamp may cause a fire.
Caution: Do not use glass cleaner or any harsh materials to clean the lens and do not subject the lens
to any impacts; you may damage it. Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a residue. Avoid
touching the lens with your bare hands to prevent fingerprints on or damage to the lens surface.

Air Filter and Vent Maintenance
Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector. Your Epson projector is designed
with an easily accessible, user-replaceable filter to protect your projector and make regular maintenance
simple. Filter maintenance intervals will depend on the environment.
If regular maintenance is not performed, your Epson projector will notify you when the temperature
inside the projector has reached a high level. Do not wait until this warning appears to maintain your
projector filter as prolonged exposure to high temperatures may reduce the life of your projector or lamp.
Damage due to the failure to properly maintain the projector or its filter may not be covered by the
projector or lamp Limited Warranties.
