Introduction

This chapter explains the projector's features and the part names.

Projector Features		7

Convenient Equipment Designed for Ease of Use

Easy to handle

•Easy wall mounting

The projector is supplied with a dedicated slide plate that makes troublesome wall mounting easy.

The slide plate is integrated into the projector main unit, so mounting is easy and installation time has been reduced compared to previous models. s Installation Guide

You can also perform maintenance such as replacing the air filter and lamp simply while projector is mounted to a wall.

•No special screen required

Installation in a wide range of places is possible because you can project images onto a projection surface such as a wall if there is no projector screen.

•Short distance projection

At 47 cm, the recommended shortest projection distance allows you to place the projector close to the screen. s p.117

If you mount the projector to a wall and project images from diagonally above, you can give your presentation without the shadow of anybody

who stands up near the projection surface appearing in the images. Furthermore, when your back is facing the screen, the projector light does not dazzle you because it does not interfere with your field of view.

•Direct power on/off

In places where power is managed centrally, such as in a conference

room, you can set the projector to turn on or off when the main power source to which the projector is connected is switched on or off.

•Display of projection lines on the projection surface

The pattern function for projecting ruled lines or a grid enables effective use of the projection surface in lessons and presentations.

•Speaker

The incorporation of a high-output 10 W speaker enables your voice to reach the edges of the room even in spacious classrooms.

•Projection screen for WXGA (EB-450Wi/450W/440W only)

With a computer that has a 16:10 WXGA wide LCD display, the image can be projected in the same aspect. This allows you to effectively use the width of whiteboards and other landscape-oriented projection surfaces.

•Control the projector from a computer

You can use the Web Control function and Web Remote function to perform the same operations on a computer as with the projector's control panel or remote control. s p.63

Enhanced security functions

•Password Protect to restrict and manage users

By setting a Password you can restrict who can use the projector. s p.50

•Control Panel Lock restricts button operation on the Control panel

You can use this to prevent people changing projector settings without permission at events, in schools, and so on. s p.52

•Equipped with anti-theft security devices

The projector is equipped with the following types of anti-theft security functions. s p.53

•Security slot

•Security cable installation point

You can use a graphics application to import text and diagrams have been hand-drawn on the projection surface with an electronic pen (Easy Interactive Pen). This combines the functions of a whiteboard and screen without the need for either. s p.54

Selecting Various Input Sources with MultiConnection

As well as connecting a computer cable, you can select various interfaces such as a USB cable, USB memory, or LAN connection. This allows you to select from a range of input sources to match your usage environment.

Taking full advantage of a network connection

You can make effective use of your network by using the supplied "EPSON Projector Software for Meeting & Monitoring" to perform efficient and varied presentations and meetings. s EasyMP Network Projection Operation Guide

•Connect a Computer to the projector via a network

You can project by connecting to an already constructed network system. You can hold efficient meetings by projecting from multiple computers connected to a network system without having to change any cables.

•Connecting wirelessly to a computer

When you install the optional wireless LAN unit in the projector, you can connect wirelessly to a computer. s p.38

Projector Features

•Connection method for various networks

The following methods are available for connecting the projector to a network. Select whichever method suites your environment. s EasyMP Network Projection Operation Guide

•Advanced Connection Mode

Advanced Connection Mode is an infrastructure connection, offering you a method of connecting to an already constructed network.

•Quick Connection Mode

Quick Connection Mode is a connection method that can only be executed when the optional wireless LAN unit is installed.

Quick Connection Mode temporarily allocates the projector's SSID to the computer and makes an ad-hoc connection, and then restores the comput er's network settings after disconnecting.

Connecting with a USB cable and projecting (USB Display)

By simply connecting the supplied USB cable to a computer, you can project images from the computer's screen.

s Quick Start Guide , p.23

Projecting a computer screen with the optional Quick Wireless Connection USB Key

Using the optional Quick Wireless Connection USB Key, you can quickly connect a computer to the projector for projection.

With the Quick Wireless Connection USB Key, you can connect to a projector on a network even if EasyMP Network Projection is not installed.

For example, you can connect under the following environments.

•Connect in Quick Connection Mode using the optional Wireless LAN unit.

• Connect to the network via an access point.

• Connect to the network via a wired LAN connection.

Various Ways to Use the Projector

This chapter explains useful functions for giving presentations, connecting external equipment, and security functions.

Changing the Installation Mode		20

The projector supports the following two different projection methods. Install according to the conditions of the installation location.

•Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of the screen. (Front/ Ceiling projection)

•Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen.

(Rear/Ceiling projection)

At the time of shipment, the projector is set to be installed suspended from a ceiling and to project images from the front of the screen (Front/Ceiling).

q Set either Front/Ceiling or Rear/Ceiling setting from the Configuration Menu. s p.78

Changing the Projected Image		21

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.

•Changes to the target image.

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

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.

When two or more pieces of equipment are connected, press the [Source Search] button until the target image is projected.

Changing the Projected Image

q The following screen showing the status of image signals is displayed when only the image that the projector is currently displaying is available, or when no image signal can be found. You can select the input port where the equipment you want to use is connected. If no operation is performed after about 10 seconds, the screen closes.

Switch to the target image by Remote Control

You can change directly to the target image by pressing the following buttons on the Remote Control.

Remote Control

AEach time you press the button, input changes between images from the Computer1 input port and the Computer2 input port.

BEach time you press the button, input changes between images from the Video input port and the S-Video input port.

Connecting with a USB Cable and Projecting (USB Display)		23

You can use the supplied USB cable to connect the projector to a computer to project images from the computer. This function is called USB Display. Simply by connecting via a USB cable, images from the computer can be displayed.

To activate the USB Display function, set USB Type B to USB Display from the Extended menu in the Configuration Menu.

The following shows the default settings for USB Type B.

•EB-460i/450Wi: Off

•EB-460/450W/440W: USB Display
