Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.

Projector Placement Projector Connections Installing Batteries in the Remote Control Installing Batteries in the Interactive Pen

Projector Placement

You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.

You can also install the projector in a ceiling or wall 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 reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Projector Setup and Installation Options Projection Distance

Parent topic: Setting Up the Projector

Projector Setup and Installation Options

You can set up or install your projector to view presentations in the following ways:

Front

Rear

Front ceiling

Rear ceiling

Wall-mounted

Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the screen, not at an angle.

If you project from the ceiling or wall, or from the rear, be sure to select the correct Projection option in the projector's menu system.

Note: Interactivity is not available when using rear or rear ceiling projection.

Parent topic: Projector Placement

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.

Refer to the tables in the Installation Guide 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 www.epson.com/support (U.S.) or www.epson.ca/support (Canada).

Parent topic: Projector Placement

Projector Connections

You can connect the projector to a variety of computer, video, and audio sources to display presentations, movies, or other images, with or without sound.

• Connect any type of computer that has a USB port, standard video output (monitor) port, or HDMI port.

• For video projection, connect devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, digital cameras, and camera phones with compatible video output ports.

• If your presentation or video includes sound, you can connect audio input cables, if necessary.

• For slide shows without a computer, you can connect USB devices (such as a flash drive or camera) or an optional Epson document camera.

Caution: If you will use the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), turn on High Altitude Mode to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.
