Connecting to a network and projecting images from the computer's screen
You can project your computer's screen over a
network by using EasyMP Network Projection.
Sharing the projector over the network allows
you to project data from different computers
without changing the signal cable. Even if the
projector is away from the computer, you can
still project data over a network.
You can find Easy Network Projection on the
EPSON Projector Software CD-ROM.
Easy connection to a computer with Quick Wireless Connection (Windows only)
By simply connecting the optional Quick
Wireless Connection USB Key to a computer,
you can automatically setup a wireless LAN
connection.
s "Installing the Quick Wireless Connection

Projecting images from portable devices over a network
If "Epson iProjection" is installed on your smart
phone or tablet device, you can wirelessly
project data from the device. Because you can
operate these devices from any location, you can
vary the way in which conferences or
presentations are made.
You can download "Epson iProjection" for free from the App Store or from
Google play. Any fees incurred when communicating with the App Store or
Google play are the responsibility of the customer.
Projecting images from multiple computers simultaneously
By using EasyMP Multi PC Projection, up to four screens from multiple
computers connected to the network, or from smartphones or tablets with
Epson iProjection installed, can be projected simultaneously adding a touch
of dynamism to conferences that use projectors. By making yourself the
host of a meeting, you can control the projected screens from other
connected computers allowing you to advance the meeting smoothly.
You can also project the same screen from remote projectors on the
network.

Replacing the remote control batteries
If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not
operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the
batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new
batteries. Have two AA size manganese or alkaline batteries ready. You
cannot use other batteries except for the AA size manganese or alkaline.
Attention
Make sure you read the following manual before handling the batteries.
s Safety Instructions
a
Remove the battery cover.
While pushing the battery compartment cover catch, lift the cover
up.
b
Replace the old batteries with new batteries.
Caution
Check the positions of the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery holder to
ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way.
If the batteries are not used correctly, they could explode or leak causing
a fire, injury, or damage to the product.

Preparing the Projector
This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.
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)
• Project images from behind a
translucent screen. (Rear projec‐
tion)
• Suspend the projector from the
ceiling and project images from
in front of a screen. (Front/Ceil‐
ing 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.
• 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.
a
• An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the
projector from a ceiling.
s "Optional Accessories" p.128
• The default Projection setting is Front. You can change from Front
to Rear from the Configuration menu.

Installation methods
Install the projector as follows.
• Install the projector so that it is parallel to the screen.
If the projector is installed at an angle to the screen, keystone distortion
occurs in the projected image.
• Place the projector on a level surface.
If the projector is tilted the projected image is also tilted.
a
• See the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the
screen.
s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.41
• See the following if you cannot install the projector on a level
surface.
s "Adjusting the Horizontal Tilt" p.46
s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.41
Screen Size and Approximate Projection Distance
Projection size is determined by the distance from the projector to the
screen. See the illustrations on the right to select the best position according
to the screen size. The illustrations show the approximate shortest distance
at maximum zoom. See the following for more information on the
projection distance.
s
"Screen Size and Projection Distance" p.129

When you correct keystone distortion, the projected image may be
reduced.

Connecting a Computer
To project images from a computer, connect the computer using one of the following methods.
A
When using the supplied computer cable
Connect the computer's display output port to the projector's Computer port. You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the computer's audio output port to the
projector's Audio1 or Audio2 port using a commercially available audio cable.
B
When using the supplied or commercially available USB cable
Connect the computer's USB port to the projector's USB-B port. You can send the computer's audio with the projected image.
C

Connecting Image Sources
To project images from DVD players or VHS video and so on, connect to the projector using one of the following methods.
A
When using a commercially available video or S-video cable
Connect the video output port on the image source to the projector's Video port. Or, connect the S-video output port on the image source to the projector's S-Video port. You can
output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the image source to the projector's Audio-L/R port using a commercially available audio cable.
B
When using the optional component video cable
s "Optional Accessories" p.128
