Features Common to Each Model

Designed for easy handling

Connecting with a USB cable and Projecting (USB Display)

Simply by connecting the projector to a Windows Computer with the USB cable, you can project images from the computer

screen. s "Connecting with a USB cable and Projecting (USB Display)" p.18

Direct power On/Off

In places where power is managed centrally, such as in a conference room, the projector can be set to power on and off automatically when the power source to which the projector is connected is switched on or off.

The A/V mute slide makes it easy to project and store

You can stop and resume projection easily by opening and closing the A/V mute slide which makes giving clear presentations easier.

A single foot design means you do not have to make any difficult leveling adjustments

You can easily make height adjustments with one hand.

Compact and lightweight

Its light and compact body makes it easy to carry.

No cool down delay

After turning the projector's power off, you can disconnect the projector's power cable without having to wait for the projector to cool down.

Enhanced security functions

Password Protect to restrict and manage users

Procedure

A B C D E

Turn the computer on.

Connect to the power cable (supplied).

Turn the projector on.

Open the A/V mute slide.

Connect the supplied (EB-W8/X8/S8 only) or commercially available USB cable.

To output audio from the projector's speaker, connect an audio cable (commercially available) to the Audio Port. s Quick Start Guide

Connecting for the first time

Procedure

A Driver installation starts automatically.

When you are using a Windows 2000 computer, double-click My Computer - EPSON_PJ_UD - EMP_UDSE.EXE, on your computer.

When using a computer running Windows 2000 under user authority, a Windows error message is displayed during installation and you may not be able to install the software. In this case, try updating Windows to the latest version, restart, and then try to connect again. For more details, contact the nearest address provided in the Support and Service Guide. s Epson Projector Contact List

B Click "Agree".

If the driver is not installed, you cannot start USB Display. Select Agree to install the driver. If you want to cancel installation, click

Disagree.

C Computer images are projected.

It may take a while before computer images are projected. Until computer images are projected, leave the equipment as it is and do not disconnect the USB cable or turn off the power to the projector.

q

• If nothing is projected for some reason, click All Programs -

EPSON Projector - EPSON USB Display - EPSON USB

 

Display Vx.x, on your computer.

 

• If it is not installed automatically, double-click My Computer -

 

EPSON_PJ_UD - EMP_UDSE.EXE, on your computer.

 

• If the mouse pointer flickers on the computer screen, click All

 

Programs - EPSON Projector - EPSON USB Display - EPSON

• Disconnecting

 

The projector can be disconnected simply by disconnecting the

 

USB cable. There is no need to use the Safely Remove

 

Hardware feature in Windows.

 

 

From the second time

Computer images are projected.

It may take a while before computer images are projected. Please wait.

q Applications that use part of DirectX functions may not be displayed correctly.

Changing the Projected Image

 

22

 

 

 

You can change the projected image in the following two ways.

Changing by Source Search

The projector automatically detects signals being input from connected equipment, and the image being input from the equipment is projected.

Changing directly to the target image

You can use the Remote Control buttons to change to the target input port.

F USB

EB-S8/W7/X7/S7

Automatically Detect Input Signal and Change the Projected Image (Source Search)

You can project the target image quickly as input ports with no image signal being input are ignored when you change by pressing the [Source Search] button.

Selecting the Projection Quality (Selecting Color

Mode)

You can easily obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the setting that best corresponds to your surroundings when projecting. The brightness of the image varies depending on the mode selected.

 

 

Mode

Application

 

Dynamic

Ideal for use in a bright room. This is the

 

 

 

brightest mode, and reproduces shadow tones well.

 

 

 

 

Presentation

Ideal for making presentations using color

 

 

 

materials in a bright room.

 

 

 

 

Theatre

Ideal for watching films in a dark room. Gives

 

 

 

images a natural tone.

 

 

 

 

Photo*1

Ideal for projecting still pictures, such as photos,

 

 

 

in a bright room. The images are vivid and

 

 

 

brought into contrast.

 

 

 

 

Sports*2

Ideal for watching TV programmes in a bright

 

 

 

room. The images are vivid and brought to life.

standard.

 

 

 

 

Blackboard

Even if you are projecting onto a Blackboard

 

 

 

(greenboard), this setting gives your images a

 

 

 

natural tint, just like when projecting onto a screen.

 

 

 

 

Whiteboard

Ideal for making presentations using the whiteboard.

 

 

 

 

*1 Selectable only when RGB signal is input or the Source is set to USB Display or USB (EB-W8/X8 only).

*2 Selectable only when component video, S-video, or composite video images are input.

Procedure

Remote Control

Each time you press the button, the Color Mode name is displayed on the screen and the Color Mode changes.

If you press the button while the Color Mode name is displayed on the screen, it changes to the next Color Mode.

q The color mode can also be set using Color Mode in the Image menu from the Configuration Menu.s p.49

Setting the Auto Iris

By automatically setting the luminance according to the brightness of the displayed image, it lets you enjoy deep and rich images.

Procedure

A Press the [Menu] button and select Image - Auto Iris from the Configuration Menu.s "Using the Configuration Menu" p.48

Using the Remote Control

Using the Control panel

B Select On.

The setting is stored for each Color Mode.

C Press the [Menu] button to close the Configuration Menu.

q Auto Iris can be set only when the Color Mode is Dynamic or

Theatre.

Hiding the Image and Sound Temporarily (A/V

Mute)

You can use this when you want to focus the audience's attention on what you are saying, or if you do not want to show details such as when you are changing between files during presentations from a computer.

Procedure

Remote Control

Body

Each time you press the button, or open/close the lens cover A/V Mute turns on or off.

q

• If you use this function when projecting moving images, the

images and

sound

continue to be played back by the

source, and

 

you cannot

return

to the point where A/V Mute was

activated.

When activated from the remote control, you can choose to display Black, Blue, or Logo as the A/V Mute display using the Extended - Display - A/V Mute setting from the Configuration menu.s p.53

When the A/V mute slide is closed, and no operations are made for approximately 30 minutes, Lens Cover Timer activates and the power is automatically turned off. If you do not want Lens Cover Timer to activate, change the Lens Cover Timer setting to

Off from Operation in the Extended menu.s p.53

Freezing the Image (Freeze)

When Freeze is activated on moving images, the frozen image continues to project on the screen, so you can project a moving image one frame at a time like a still photo. Also, you can perform operations such as changing between files during presentations from a computer without projecting any images if the Freeze function is activated beforehand.

Procedure

Remote Control

Each time you press the button, Freeze turns on or off.

q

Audio does not stop.

The image source continues to play back the moving images

even while the screen is frozen, and so it is not possible to resume projection from the point where it was paused.

If the [Freeze] button is pressed while the Configuration Menu or a Help screen is displayed, the menu or Help screen being displayed is cleared.

Freeze still works while E-Zoom is being used.
