Introduction

he EPSON® PowerLite® 8150i is a highly versatile presentation tool. You can connect it to one or two computer sources and up to three video sources and easily switch between them. In addition, the projector’s EasyMP.net features let you transfer presentations directly to the projector (over a network) and then deliver them without having to connect a PC or laptop.

Introduction

Getting the Most from Your Projector

Depending on how you plan to use the projector, you can take advantage of the following options:

■

Presenting without a computer

If the projector is connected to your network, you can use its EasyMP.net features to transfer your presentation directly to the projector. This lets you walk into the meeting room hands-free and deliver your presentation without having to connect a PC or laptop.

office PC

EasyMP.net lets you project various Microsoft® applications— such as PowerPoint, image files. For instructions, see Chapter 1 starting on page 7.

Excel, and Word—as well as certain types of

Introduction

■

Connecting a computer or video device

If you’re not using EasyMP.net, you’ll need to connect the projector directly to a computer or video device. See page 30 for guidelines on positioning the projector. Then turn to page 31 to connect a Macintosh

or PC, or page 36 to connect a VCR,

DVD player, or other type of video device.

When done connecting your equipment, turn to Chapter 3 starting on page 37 for instructions on displaying and adjusting the image.

■

Using the remote control

You can use the remote control to start and run your presentation, control the picture and sound, and highlight your presentation by using it as a digital pointer. If you’re giving a PowerPoint presentation, you can use the remote as a wireless mouse to click through from one slide to the next. See Chapter 4 starting on page 49 for details.

■

Drawing on the screen

If you’re using EasyMP.net, you can connect a USB device, such as a mouse or drawing tablet, directly to the projector. This lets you draw on the screen, make notes, and highlight your presentation. See page 20.

If you don’t have access to a USB mouse or tablet, you can use the projector’s EMP Tablet software to draw on screen using your laptop’s mouse; see page 21. (You can also connect a drawing tablet to your laptop.) Your laptop needs to be on the network, but if it’s equipped with a wireless Ethernet card, you won’t have to worry about connecting any cables before starting your presentation.

wireless

LAN

Whichever drawing tool you choose, keep in mind that it can also be used in place of the remote control to operate the EasyMP.net software and deliver your presentation.

■

Including sound in your presentation

If you’ve connected a computer or video device and your presentation includes sound, you can take advantage of the projector’s built-in stereo speaker system. For details, see page 35 (for computers) or page 36 (for video devices).

Introduction

Presenting Without a Computer

If the projector is connected to the network, you can use its

EasyMP.net features to deliver your presentation without having to connect a PC or laptop. (If you plan to connect a computer or video device, see Chapter 2 for instructions.)

If your network is set up for it, you can start your presentation without having to download any files to the projector beforehand (the projector can receive the data while your presentation is running); see “Delivering Your Presentation” on page 17 for instructions. Otherwise, you’ll have to copy your files to the projector’s memory card (either directly or over the network) before starting your presentation; see page 11.

Creating Your Presentation

note

For help designing your

resentation, log on to www.presentersonline.com. This site includes a library of articles covering presentation tips and tricks, and provides templates and clip art you can use.

Follow the guidelines below to create your presentation in a file format that’s compatible with the projector. You can use a variety of Microsoft application files and image files in their native formats, or you can prepare a specially modified file called a scenario. The scenario lets you combine different kinds of files in a slideshow format and set certain automatic playback features.

Supported Applications and File Formats

EasyMP.net supports a variety of Microsoft applications and image formats. You can create your presentation using any of the following:

■

PowerPoint 97 and 2000

■

Word 97, 98, and 2000

■

Excel 97 and 2000

■

text (including unicode) and rich text format (RTF)

■

jpeg (JPG), bitmap (BMP and DIB), and portable network graphics (PNG)

EasyMP.net supports multi-page Word documents as well as multi-sheet Excel files. Note that you can’t edit documents while viewing them on screen, and certain applications’ formatting features may look slightly different from how they appear on your monitor. (For example, some PowerPoint special effects cannot be used; for details, see the Notices section in the Administrator’s Manual.)

Creating Scenarios

Another type of file you can send to the projector is a scenario. You can create this special-purpose file using the EMP Scenario software included with the projector. This lets you combine in a slideshow format any of the supported file types listed above. In addition, you

Presenting Without a Computer

can define certain playback attributes, such as how long each slide remains on screen, and you can even set the scenario to begin playing automatically—either when the projector is first turned on, or at a preset time.

To create a scenario, follow these steps:

1. Open the EMP Scenario program from your desktop or from the EasyMP programs folder.

2. To create a scenario, use the folder window to navigate to the files you want to use. Available files appear in the file window:

3. Drag the files you want to use from the file window to the scenario window.

If you want to incorporate individual slides from a PowerPoint file, double-click the file in the file window, then drag the slides that open in the thumbnail window to the scenario window.

4. If you want the scenario’s slides to advance automatically when played, select them in the scenario window. Right-click, choose

, then set the length of time you want each slide to

remain on the screen.

5. To transfer the completed scenario to the projector, select

Transferring Your Presentation to the Projector

Follow the instructions in this section to transfer a supported application or image file directly to the projector; to copy a scenario to the projector, see the previous section.

When you send your presentation to the projector, it gets stored on the projector’s removable memory card. Depending on how your network is set up and where you’re located, choose one of these ways to transfer your presentation to the projector:

■

To send your presentation from your office PC to the projector, see below.

■

If you’re in the meeting room with the projector and you need to download your presentation files from a remote location, see page 13.

■

If you want, you can copy your presentation directly onto the memory card; see page 16.

Sending the Presentation from Your Office

If you’ve created your presentation on your office PC, the easiest way of getting it to the projector is by using the EMP File Utility software; see below.

note

You may be able to launch your presentation without first transferring it to the projector; see page 17.

If your network is set up to prevent sending a presentation directly to the projector, you may have to upload it to a file server first. Use the file utility you would normally use (such as Windows transfer your presentation to the server; then see “Downloading Your Presentation While in the Meeting Room” on page 13 to finish getting your presentation to the projector.

Highlighting Your Presentation

You can highlight your presentation with special symbols or your own drawings, and you can annotate it with on-screen text. For simple pointer effects, you can use the remote control, or for more sophisticated effects you can use a mouse or drawing tablet.

Choosing a Drawing Tool

If all you want to do is place simple figures on the screen—such as an arrow or an underline to highlight key points—you can use the remote control to guide the cursor. For details, see page 52.

To make actual drawings, or to write text on the screen, you can use either a mouse or drawing tablet. (A drawing tablet works best.) If you have a USB mouse or a Wacom Graphire directly to the projector’s USB port as described below. Otherwise you’ll need to use the projector’s EMP Tablet program on a PC or laptop that’s networked to the projector; see page 21.

To connect a USB mouse or Wacom Graphire drawing tablet directly to the projector, plug it into one of the four USB ports on the back of the projector as shown:

When drawing with the tablet, note that you can use the upper end of the pen as an eraser. Keep in mind that you can also use the pen to click and double-click like a regular mouse. Tap the tip of the pen against the tablet’s surface to click or double-click; to right-click, press the lower part of the button on the side of the pen.

A special template comes with the projector that you can place under the tablet’s clear plastic overlay. The template includes the same highlighting tool icons and toolbar functions as the EMP Tablet software, described in the next section.

Using the EMP Tablet Software

If you have a PC or laptop on the same network as the projector, you can use the EMP Tablet software to control the projector and draw on the screen. You can use either your laptop’s mouse or a drawing tablet connected to the laptop. Note that you can use any model of tablet that’s compatible with your laptop.

Adjusting the Image and Sound

If the projector is already installed in a meeting room, you probably won’t need to make any adjustments. If you set up the projector yourself, check the following:

■

To focus or zoom your image, see below.

■

If the image is too high or too low, you can reposition it. See page 42.

■

If the image isn’t square, see page 43.

If the image still isn’t large enough, you may need to move the projector farther from the screen.

Displaying and Adjusting the Image

Adjusting the Height of Your Image

You can adjust the height of the image using the lens shift knob and the projector’s feet.

Using the Lens Shift Knob

If possible, set the projector flat on a table and use the lens shift knob (instead of raising the projector’s feet) to position the image on-screen. This delivers the best-looking picture.

You won’t need to tilt the projector upward as long as you position it so that its lens is at least as high as the bottom of the screen, but no higher than the middle of the screen, as shown:

no higher than middle of screen

ideal height

no lower than

bottom of screen

Displaying and Adjusting the Image

Use the lens shift knob to raise or lower the image. If the knob is recessed, press and release it to make it extend; then turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to move the image up or down. When you’re finished, press the knob back in.

lens shift knob

Using the Projector’s Feet

If the image is still too low, you can raise it by extending the projector’s feet.

1. Stand behind the projector. Pull up the blue foot release levers and lift the front of the projector. This unlocks the feet.

2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the levers to lock the feet in position.

3. To fine-tune the height of the image, rotate the thumb wheels attached to the projector’s feet.

If the image is no longer square after raising it, see the next section.

caution

Do not hold the projector by the lens; this can damage it.

Adjusting the Image Shape

If the projected image isn’t square or has a “keystone” shape, do one or more of the following:

Solving Problems with the Remote Control

The projector doesn’t respond to remote control commands.

■

Make sure the remote control is turned on.

■

Make sure you are within 30 feet of the projector, have a direct line-of-sight to the projector’s front or back sensor, and are no more than 30° to the left or right, or 15° above or below, the sensor.

■

The remote control batteries may not be installed correctly or may be low on power. To test the batteries, press the light button. The other buttons on the remote should light up temporarily. If they don’t, you need to change the batteries.

■

Dim the room lights and turn off any fluorescent lights. Make sure the projector is not in direct sunlight. Strong lighting, especially fluorescent lights, may affect the projector’s infrared receivers.

■

Turn off any nearby equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater.

Solving Problems

Your presentation doesn’t look exactly the same as it did on your computer screen.

Certain PowerPoint special effects are unavailable when using EasyMP.net, including sound effects. Microsoft Word and Excel files may not display with the same font you used on your computer. See Chapter 8 of the Administrator’s Manual for more information.

The remote control’s highlighting tools don’t work when using EasyMP.net.

The numbered buttons on the remote control can be used to highlight images only when you’re projecting directly from a computer or video source. Use EasyMP’s highlighting tools instead; see page 20.

When using the EMP Tablet software, you can’t move the cursor all the way to the edge of the screen.

You may need to move or resize the EMP Tablet window on your computer’s desktop. You can also drag the toolbar out of the way, if necessary.
