Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Placement Removing and Attaching the Cable Cover Projector Connections Installing Batteries in the Remote Control Installing Batteries in the Pens

Projector Placement

Your ultra-short throw projector is designed to be installed on a wall or vertically on a table (with a table mount) to create an interactive tabletop workspace.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Follow the instructions in the Installation Guide to install the projector using the included mounting equipment.
• 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.
• If installing vertically on a desk or table, the table projection mount (V12H516020) is required.

Projector Setup and Installation Options

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

Mounted on the wall or ceiling
Mounted vertically on a table to create an interactive workspace
Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the screen, not at an angle.

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.) For more detailed information and installation instructions, see the Installation Guide. You can also use the projector Throw Distance Calculator at epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).

Supported PC Free File Types

You can project these types of files using the projector's PC Free feature.
Note: For best results, place your files on media that is formatted in FAT16/32. If you have trouble projecting from media formatted for non-Windows file systems, try formatting the media for Windows instead. You may not be able to use the security features on certain USB storage devices with PC Free features.
