To project images from a computer, set the computer’s video
card at a refresh rate (vertical frequency) compatible with the
projector; see the following table for compatible formats. Some
images are automatically resized to display in the projector’s
“native” format (XGA). The frequencies of some computers
may not allow images to display correctly; see your computer’s
documentation for details.

Positioning the Projector
Before connecting the projector, you need to decide where to
place it. The location you choose depends on the size of the
room and what you are projecting.
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between
3.2 and 39.7 feet from the screen.
❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and
under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of
anything that could block the vents under the projector.
❏ Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of an electrical
outlet or extension cord and within 5 feet of your computer
and/or video source, unless you are projecting wirelessly or
from a memory card.
❏ Place the projector directly in front of the center of the
screen, facing the screen squarely. Otherwise, your image
will not be rectangular.
Note:
It’s easier to position the projector when the screen is directly in
front of the room.
Use the figure below as a guideline to help you determine how
far from the screen to place the projector. Image size generally
increases with distance, but may vary depending on how you
position the zoom ring and whether you have adjusted the
image size with other settings.
33.1 to 39.7 feet6.6 to 7.9 feet 3.2 to 3.9 feet
To calculate exact measurements, use the following formulas:
❏ To find the projection distance when you know the screen’s
diagonal dimension:
Wide (inches) = ((33.696
21.717) / 25.4
Tele (inches) = ((40.453
22.52) / 25.4
❏ To find how large a screen’s diagonal dimension will be
If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you’ll
have to tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot, as
shown. Tilting the projector upward causes the image to lose its
rectangular shape, but you can correct the distortion by pressing
the
Sync buttons on the projector. See page 6 for detailed
information about correcting the image shape.
If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen,
the image will be rectangular and you won’t have to adjust it. If
you place the projector higher than the bottom of the screen,
the image will still be rectangular, but you won’t be able to fill
the whole screen with the image.
Starting Up the Projector
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and
connected correctly. Then turn on your projector, as described
below.
If you turn on your connected computer or video equipment
before starting the projector, the projector automatically detects
and displays the image source. If you turn on the projector first,
or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have
to select the image source manually. See “Selecting the Image
Source” on page 5.
Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector:
1. Remove the lens cap.
Caution
Do not use the projector with the lens cap in place. The heat
generated by the lamp can damage the cap.
2. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s power
inlet. Then connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
The P
Power light on top of the projector turns orange,
indicating that the projector is receiving power but not yet
turned on.

Note:
You can also use the Source buttons on the remote control to
switch between devices connected to the ports identified on each
button. For details, see page 5.
If a projected image fails to appear, see “What To Do If You See
a Blank Screen” in the next column.
When you’re done with your presentation, shut down the
projector as described on page 7. Shutting down the projector
correctly prevents premature lamp failure and possible damage
from overheating.
What To Do If You See a Blank Screen

Projecting Wirelessly
Once you’ve started EasyMP and set up your projector and
computer in either ad hoc mode or access point mode, follow
these steps to start NS Connection and project wirelessly.
Note:
You must have installed EMP NS Connection from your projector
CD-ROM. See the User’s Guide for installation instructions.
1. Make sure you’ve inserted the Epson 802.11 b/g card in the
projector’s card slot (see page 10).
2. Windows: Select
EMP NS Connection from the Windows
Start menu.
Macintosh OS X: Double-click the
EMP NS Connection
icon in your Applications folder.
The first time you start NS Connection, you see a dialog
box asking you to select your network. Select the name
for your computer’s wireless network adapter card and
click
OK.
Note:
If you don’t see your network adapter’s IP address, allow a
minute for it to appear. If your access point or AirPort base
station uses DHCP, sometimes it takes a minute for the server
to pick up the IP address.
You see the screen below. (If you have previously started
NS Connection, this is the first screen you see.)
Note:
Once you’ve selected the IP address for your network adapter,
you won’t see the Switch network dialog box when you start
NS Connection. If you want to change to a different network
adapter, click
box, then click
Extension on the EMP NS Connection dialog
SwitchLAN.
If the connection is working properly, you see your
projector listed. If you have additional Epson projectors on
the network, they are also listed, along with their status.
The color of the status icon next to each projector’s name
indicates its status:
❏ Gray: the projector is not connected
❏ Orange: the projector is connected to another
computer
❏ Green: the projector is connected to your computer
3. If you don’t see your projector, check the following:
❏ Make sure your wireless signal is strong enough to
establish a connection. If you have a Macintosh, check
the AirPort icon on the Macintosh menu bar. For
Windows, see the documentation for your access point
or computer network card.
❏ Make sure you’re trying to connect to the right
network. In Windows, verify that you’ve enabled your
computer’s connection to the access point or that your
wireless card or adapter is enabled, and that its SSID
matches the projector’s ESSID. In Macintosh, check
the AirPort status menu (click the AirPort icon on your
menu bar) to make sure AirPort is turned on and the
projector’s ESSID or your AirPort network is selected.
Remember that the ESSID is case-sensitive.
❏ Make sure you aren’t projecting one of the EasyMP
configuration screens. (You should see a message that
the projector is ready to connect.) If you have to exit
the configuration screen, restart NS Connection.
❏ Check the IP address for both your projector and your
wireless card, adapter, access point, or AirPort base
station. The first three sections of the IP address should
be identical. The last section of the projector’s IP
address should be close, but not identical, to the last
section of the IP address for your wireless interface,
access point, or base station.
❏ Restart your computer and start NS Connection again.
❏ If you still don’t see your projector and you are using
access point mode, follow the instructions in
“Connecting in IP Connect Mode” on page 16 to
connect to the projector manually.
❏ Make sure you have disabled any firewall software.
