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.

28
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, select On as the Inv Direction Button setting in the Extended menu 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).

Connecting to an HDBaseT Transmitter
To send an HDMI or RS-232C signal over a long distance, you can connect the projector to an optional
HDBaseT transmitter using a 100Base-TX network cable. This is useful when you want to send a signal
to or control the projector from a remote location, such as in a hall or event site, since you can use a
network cable up to 328 feet (100 m) in length. To ensure proper data transmission, use a Category 5e
STP cable or better.
1.Turn off the projector and HDBaseT transmitter.
Note: Make sure the projector and HDBaseT transmitter are turned off when connecting or
disconnecting a network cable between the two devices.
2.Connect one end of the network cable to the HDBaseT port on the transmitter.
40
3.Connect the other end to the projector's HDBaseT port.
Note: See the documentation that came with the HDBaseT transmitter for instructions on connecting
it to your video device or computer.
4.Turn on the projector and HDBaseT transmitter.
Note: To enable communication from the Ethernet and serial ports on the transmitter, select On as the
Control Communications setting in the projector's Extended menu. Turning on this setting disables the
projector's LAN, RS-232C, and Remote ports. If you connected an Extron XTP transmitter or switcher to

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.
