Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
Installing Batteries in the Interactive Pens
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.
Refer to the tables in the Installation Guide 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 www.epson.com/support (U.S.) or www.epson.ca/support (Canada).
