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 Modes" p.41
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

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.
