Installing the Projector

Installation Requirements

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

• Project images from in front of the screen. (Front projection)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen. (Front/Ceil‐ ing projection)

• Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projec‐ tion)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear/Ceiling projection)

Warning

• A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If installation work is not carried out correctly, the projector could fall down. This may result in injury or accidents.

Contact your dealer or the nearest address provided in the Epson Projector Contact List if you want to use this installation method. s "Epson Projector Contact List" p.67

• If you use adhesives on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils 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. When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.

• Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

Attention

Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

Installing the Projector

• An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector

The projector can be installed at the following angles.

Vertical: Tilt up to ±30 degrees. If you use the projector tilted at an angle of more than 30 degrees it could be damaged and cause an accident.

Make sure there is a gap of at least 50 cm between the wall and the air exhaust vent and the air intake vent.

When setting up multiple projectors, make sure there is a gap of at least 50 cm between the projectors. Also, make sure the heat coming out of the air exhaust is not taken in through the air inlet.

Installing the Projector

Adjusting the Position of the Projected Image (Lens Shift)

The lens can be shifted to adjust the position of the projected image, for example, when the projector cannot be installed directly in front of the screen.

Release the lens shift dial lock.

Turn the vertical and horizontal lens shift dials on the projector to adjust the position of the projected image.

Attention

When adjusting the image height with the vertical lens shift dial, adjust by moving the image from the bottom to the top. If it is adjusted from the top to the bottom, the image position may move down slightly after adjusting.

• We recommend setting the focus, zoom, and lens shift at least

30 minutes after you start the projection, because images are not stable right after turning on the projector.

• The image will be clearest when both the vertical and horizontal lens shift are set in the center.

Installing the Projector

The ranges within which the image can be moved are shown below.

The position of the projected image cannot be moved to both the horizontal and vertical maximum values.

Installing the Projector

When you have finished making adjustments, lock the lens shift dial lock.

Adjusting the Zoom

Turn the zoom ring to adjust the zoom.

Adjusting the Focus

Adjust the focus ring.

Adjusting the Image Position (When Setup on a Desk)

Extend or retract the front foot to make adjustments. You can adjust the position of the image by tilting the projector up to 10 degrees.

W T

Extend the front foot.

Retract the front foot.

The larger the angle of tilt, the harder it becomes to focus. Install the

projector so that it only needs to be tilted at a small angle.

Installing the Projector

Adjusting the Horizontal Tilt (When Setup on a Desk)

Extend and retract the rear feet to adjust the projector's horizontal tilt.

Extend the rear foot.

Retract the rear foot.

Screen Settings

Set the Screen Type to 4:3, 16:9, or 16:10 according to the aspect ratio of the screen being used

Adjusting the position of the image on the projected screen

You can adjust the position of the image if there are margins between the edge of the image and the projected screen frame due to the Screen Type setting.

Press [Menu] button > Extended > Display > Screen > Screen Position

Example: When the Screen Type is set to 4:3 for EB-4950WU

You can move the image to the left and right.

The Screen Position cannot be adjusted in the following situations.

• If the Screen Type is set to 16:10 when using EB-4955WU/ EB-4950WU/EB-4855WU/EB-4850WU/EB-4750W

• If the Screen Type is set to 4:3 when using EB-4650/EB-4550

Press [Menu] button > Extended > Display > Screen > Screen Type

The area where the image is displayed matches the shape of the screen.

The default values are shown below.

EB-4955WU/EB-4950WU/EB-4855WU/EB-4850WU/EB-4750W: 16:10

EB-4650/EB-4550: 4:3

You do not need to set the Screen Type when the default value is the same as the aspect ratio for the screen being used.

Displaying a Test Pattern

A test pattern can be displayed to adjust the projection status without connecting video equipment.

The shape of a test pattern is according to the setting of Screen Type. Set Screen Type first.

Press [Menu] button > Extended > Display > Screen > Screen Type

Installing the Projector

Press the [Test Pattern] button on the remote control or the [ ] button on the control panel while projecting.
