If projecting wirelessly...

Follow the steps in this section to project over an 802.11b wireless network.

NOTE: These instructions tell you how to connect a single computer

to the projector using Ad Hoc mode. To connect multiple computers using Infrastructure mode, see your User’s Guide.

Install the software

Before installing the projector’s EasyMPTMsoftware, make sure your computer meets these requirements:

• Must be running Windows 98, 2000, Me, or XP (Macintosh not supported)

• Must have an 802.11b network card or transmitter already

installed (to project over a wireless network)

1 Insert the EasyMP software CD-ROM in your

computer’s CD-ROM drive and wait a few seconds for it to be recognized.

You see this screen:

2 Click the button to advance

to the next screen.

3 Make sure the option to install EMP NS

Connection is highlighted, then click the

button. Follow the instructions on the

screen to finish installing it.

4 If you want to use your projector’s memory card feature, select the

option for EMP SlideMaker2 and install it the same way. For more information on using a memory card, see your User’s Guide.

5 If you want to be able to monitor the projector remotely from this

computer, select the option for EMP Monitor to install it on your system. See your User’s Guide for details.

6 When done installing the software, click the button to exit.

Start EasyMP

Make sure you’ve turned on the projector and adjusted the image as described in sections 1 and 2 on the front of this sheet.

2 Select EasyMP as the source by pressing the Comp/EasyMP button

on the remote control.

3 Insert the EPSON 802.11b card face-up

as shown.

NOTE: Use only the EPSON 802.11b card.

Other brands may not be compatible and are not guaranteed to work.

Once the card is inserted, you see a screen like this:

Configure the projector

On the EasyMP Network Screen, the Config button is already highlighted. To select Config, press the Enter button on the remote control. You see this screen:

2 Make sure Easy connect mode is selected, as shown above. If not,

use the arrow buttons on the remote control to highlight the checkbox next to Easy connect mode, then press Enter to select it.

3 Use the arrow buttons on the remote control to highlight Advanced

(next to Easy connect mode), then press Enter to select it. You see this screen:

4 Make sure the projector has a unique name, such as PROJ 1,

so you can identify it from your computer.

If you need to rename it, highlight the Clear button next to Projector name, then press Enter to clear the text box. Then highlight the text box and press Enter. Use the up and down arrows to select individual characters (if you want to insert a blank space, it comes before capital ‘A’); use the right arrow to move to the next character position. When done typing, press Enter.

5 To enable your computer to find the projector on the network,

select the appropriate Ad hoc mode settings:

• Select ESSID ad hoc if your computer’s network card supports

an SSID or ESSID identifier. Then enter a name (for example, “CONF ROOM”) in the ESSID text box and press Enter.

• Select Channel ad hoc if your network card supports using

channels instead of ESSID names to identify devices on the network. Then select a channel number in the Channel text box and press Enter.

6 When done making these settings, highlight the OK button at the top

of the screen (use the arrow buttons on the remote control or press ESC to highlight it), then press Enter. Highlight the OK button again and press Enter to return to the main EasyMP Network Screen.

Configure the computer

Access your wireless network Properties window. For example, in Windows XP you would click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections. Then click the Network Connections icon. You see a screen similar to this:

2 Right-click the Wireless Network

Connection icon and select Properties.

You see a screen like this.

3 Click the Configure button.

4 Click the Advanced tab.

You see a screen like this:

5 Check your network card’s device settings.

(Depending on the type of card or wireless transmitter you’re using, some of the setting names may be different from those listed here.)

• Set the network type to 802.11 Ad Hoc.

• Set the SSID to match the name you

assigned to the projector’s ESSID—for example, CONF ROOM. (If your network card uses channel mode instead, set the correct channel, 1 to 11, so it matches that of the projector.)

• Make sure encryption is Disabled.

6 Click the General tab to make sure the network card or wireless

network device is enabled.

7 When done making these settings, click OK as needed to close any

open dialog boxes.

Run NS Connection

Now you’re ready to launch NS Connection and project wirelessly.

1 From the Start menu, select EMP NS Connection. You see this screen:

If the connection is working properly, you see your projector listed as shown.

If you don’t see your projector, click Option, then click Switch LAN. Verify that the correct wireless network device is selected. Sometimes another network device, such as an Ethernet card, may be selected instead. If you don’t see your wireless device listed, but you’re sure you’ve enabled it as described in “Configure the computer,” you may need to restart your computer.

2 Once the name of your projector appears, select it and click Connect.

You see your computer’s image transmitted to the projector, and a floating control bar appears on the screen:

3 If necessary, drag the control bar out of the way, or minimize it by
