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.

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).

Wired Network Projection
You can send images to your projector through a wired network. To do this, you connect the projector to
your network, and then set up your projector and computer for network projection.
After connecting and setting up the projector as described here, install the network software from the
Epson Projector Software CD-ROM or download the software as necessary. Use the following software
and documentation to set up, control, and monitor network projection:
• EasyMP Network Projection software sets up your computer for network projection. See the EasyMP
Network Projection Operation Guide for instructions.
• EasyMP Monitor software (Windows only) lets you monitor and control your projector through the
network. You can download the latest software and documentation from the Epson web site. Go to
epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada) and select your projector.
• EasyMP Multi PC Projection software allows you to hold interactive meetings by projecting the
computer screens of users over a network. See the EasyMP Multi PC Projection Operation Guide for
instructions.
Note: If your projector is connected via a LAN cable to a network that includes a wireless access point,
you can connect to the projector wirelessly through the access point using the EasyMP Network
Projection software.

you can change the aspect ratio to fit your screen by pressing a button on the remote control.
If you always want to use a particular aspect ratio for a certain video input source, you can select it using
