Setting Up the Projector

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

Projector Placement Projector Connections Attaching and Removing the Cable Cover Attaching and Removing the HDMI Cable Clip Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

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 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 in the following ways: Front

Rear

Front ceiling

Rear ceiling

Note: Be sure to leave at least 20 inches (50 cm) of space in front of the air exhaust and intake vents

and, when setting up multiple projectors, 20 inches (50 cm) of space between the projectors.

If you mount the projector to the ceiling, it can be installed at the following angles:

• Vertically: Any angle up to ±30°.

• Horizontally: Can be tilted within the range of the rear feet.

If you project from the ceiling, set the Inv Direction Button setting (Extended > Operation) to On so that the operations on the screen match the control panel button commands.

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).

Adjusting the Image Position Using Lens Shift

If you cannot install the projector directly in front of the screen, you can adjust the position of the projected image using the lens shift feature.

Follow these guidelines when using lens shift to adjust your images:

• When adjusting the image height, position the image lower than where you want it to be and then move it up using the vertical lens shift dial. This helps prevent the image from moving down after adjustment.

• Keep the vertical and horizontal lens shift dials in their center positions for the clearest picture.

Note: Wait 30 minutes after turning on the projector before setting the focus, zoom, and lens shift for maximum accuracy.

1. Turn on the projector and display an image.

2. Slide the lens shift dial lock as shown to release the lock.

3. Turn the vertical and horizontal lens shift dials on the projector to adjust the position of the projected

image as necessary.
