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 USB Key" p.32
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 (EB- X25/EB-W22/EB-X22/EB-X20 only)
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.
You can find EasyMP Multi PC Projection on the EPSON Projector Software CD-ROM.

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 |
• Project images from behind a |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•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.127
•The default Projection setting is Front. You can change from Front to Rear from the Configuration menu.
s Extended - Projection p.89
•You can change the Projection mode as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.

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.
a• See the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen.
s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.40
•See the following if you cannot install the projector on a level surface.
s "Adjusting the Horizontal Tilt" p.45 s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.40
•Place the projector on a level surface.
If the projector is tilted the projected image is also tilted.
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.128
aWhen 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.
AWhen 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.
BWhen 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.
CWhen using a commercially available HDMI cable
Connect the computer's HDMI port to the projector's HDMI port. You can send the computer's audio with the projected image.

Attention
If the orientation or shape of the plug differs, do not try to force it in. The device could be damaged or could malfunction.
a• You can change the audio input source in Audio Output. s Extended - A/V Settings - Audio Output p.89
• If the source you want to connect to has an unusually shaped port, use the cable supplied with the device or an optional cable to connect to the projectors.
• When using a commercially available 2RCA(L/R)/stereo mini-pin audio cable, make sure it is labeled "No resistance".
Connecting USB Devices
Only EB-X21/EB-S21/EB-X17/EB-S17 are supported.
You can connect devices such as USB memory, the optional Document Camera, and USB compatible hard disks and digital cameras. Using the USB cable supplied with the USB device, connect the USB device to the USB-A port on the projector.
When the USB device is connected, you can project image files on the USB memory or digital camera using PC Free. s "PC Free examples" p.52

|
Attention
• If you |
use |
a USB hub, the |
connection may not operate correctly. Devices such as |
digital |
cameras and USB devices should be connected to the projector directly. |
• When |
connecting and using |
a USB-compatible hard disk, make sure you connect |
the AC |
adaptor supplied with the hard disk. |
|
• Connect a |
digital camera or hard disk to the projector using the USB cable provided with the device. |
||||
• Use a |
USB |
cable less than three meters in length. If the cable exceeds three meters, PC |
Free may not function correctly. |
||
Removing USB devices
After finishing projecting, remove USB devices from the projector. For devices such as digital cameras or hard disks, turn off the device and then remove it from the projector.
Connecting External Equipment
You can output images and audio by connecting an external monitor or speaker.
AWhen outputting images to an external monitor
Connect the external monitor to the projector's Monitor Out port using the cable supplied with the external monitor.
BWhen outputting audio to an external speaker
Connect the external speaker to the projector's Audio Out port using a commercially available audio cable.
