Projector Placement

19
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. An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.
Note the following points when selecting 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.
Place the projector parallel to the screen.
If you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen, correct
a
keystone distortion using the projector controls.
Warning
You must install a ceiling mount when suspending the projector from a ceiling. If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage or injury.
Do not use adhesives on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or use lubricants, oils, or similar substances on the projector; the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector.
Do not cover the projector's air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
Projector Placement
Attention
Do not operate the projector on its side. This may cause the projector to malfunction.
If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1500 m, set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector's Extended menu to ensure the
projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.

When projecting from the ceiling or from the rear, make sure you select the correct Projection option in the projector's Extended menu.

Projector Setup and Installation Options

You can set up or install your projector in the following ways:
Front/Rear

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 illustration here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image.
When correcting keystone distortion, your image is slightly smaller.

Projector Connections

22
You can connect the projector to a variety of computer, video, and audio sources to display presentations, movies, or other images, with or without sound.
Connect a computer that has a USB port, standard video output (monitor) port, or HDMI port.
For video projection, connect devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, digital cameras, and smartphones with compatible video output ports.
If your presentation or video includes sound, you can connect audio input cables.
For slide shows or presentations without a computer, you can connect USB devices (such as a flash drive or camera) or the optional Epson document camera.

Connecting to a Computer for USB Video and Audio
If your computer meets the system requirements, you can send video and audio output to the projector through the computer's USB port (preferably USB 2.0). This function is called USB Display. Connect the projector to your computer using a commercially available USB cable.
If you use a USB hub, the connection may not operate correctly.

When you make multi-screen color adjustments, set a unique projector ID for each projector to operate them individually using a remote control, and then correct the brightness and color for each projector.
In some cases the brightness and color tone may not match completely

Projector Security Features

93
You can secure your projector to deter theft or prevent unintended use by setting up the following security features:
Password security to prevent people who do not know the password from using the projector, and prevent changes to the startup screen and other settings. This acts as an anti-theft function as the projector cannot be used even if it is stolen, and you can limit who can use the projector.
Button lock security to block operation of the projector using the buttons on the control panel. This is useful at events or shows when you want to deactivate all buttons during projection or at schools when you want to limit button operation.
Security cabling to physically secure the projector in place.
