Installation Methods

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/Ceil­ing projection)
Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projec­tion)
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 it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
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.
Attention
Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
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.
An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the
a
projector from a ceiling. s "Optional Accessories" p.118
You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.

Correcting manually (manual H/V-Keystone) Manually correct distortion in the horizontal and vertical directions independently.
Correcting manually (Quick Corner) Manually correct the four corners independently.
Correcting automatically (Auto V-Keystone)
When the projector detects any movement, for example when it is installed, moved, or tilted, it automatically corrects vertical keystone distortion. This function is called Auto V-Keystone.
When the projector remains still for about two seconds after it detects movement, it displays a screen for adjustment and then automatically corrects the projected image.
The following conditions are necessary to correct the projected image using Auto V-Keystone.
Correction angle: approx. 30˚ up and down
Auto V-Keystone works only when Projection is set to Front from

About EasyMP Monitor

EasyMP Monitor lets you carry out operations such as checking the status of multiple Epson projectors that are connected to a network at a computer monitor, and controlling the projectors from the computer.
You can download EasyMP Monitor from the following Web site.
http://www.epson.com
The following provides brief descriptions of the monitoring and control functions that can be carried out using EasyMP Monitor.
Registering projectors for monitoring and control
Projectors on the network can be searched for automatically, and you can then select which projectors you want to register from the projectors that are detected. You can register target projectors by entering their IP addresses.
Registered projectors can also be assigned to groups so that they can be monitored and controlled in groups.
Monitoring the status of registered projectors
You can check the power status (ON/OFF) for projectors and problems or warnings that require attention by using the icons. You can select groups of projectors or a single projector and then check the cumulative lamp operating time or information such as input sources, problems, and warnings for the projectors.
Controlling registered projectors
Projectors can be selected in groups or as single projectors, and you can then carry out operations for the selected projectors such as turning the power on and off and switching their input sources. You can use Web Control functions to change the settings in the projector's configuration menu. If there are certain control actions which are carried out regularly at particular times or on particular days, you can use Timer Settings to register timer settings.
Mail Notification settings
You can set e-mail addresses to which notifications are sent if a status that requires attention, such as a problem, occurs with a registered projector.
Sending messages to registered projectors
You can use the Message Broadcasting plugin for EasyMP Monitor to send JPEG files to registered projectors.
Download the Message Broadcasting plugin from the Web site address provided at the beginning of this chapter.

Changing Settings Using a Web Browser (Web Control)

By using a Web browser of a computer connected to the projector on a network, you can make settings and control the projector.
