Introduction
This chapter explains the projector's features and the part names.
Projector Features
7
Ease of use when installed on a ceiling mount
Centered lens
The lens is positioned in the center of the
projector so it is well balanced and is easy
to mount on a ceiling. This also makes it
easy to line up the screen and the projector.
Equipped with electric lens shift, zoom and focus functions
Using the lens shift function that allows you to adjust the position of the projected image along the horizontal and vertical axis opens up a wide variety of installation locations.
The lens shift, zoom, and focus functions can be operated with a remote control so operation is easy even if the projector is mounted on the ceiling.
Six optional lenses are provided
You can select the best lens according to
the projection distance and purpose. All
the optional lenses are bayonet-type
which allows you to simply and easily
replace and install the optional lenses.
p.94, p.107
s
Horizontal and vertical installation possible
The projector can be pointed either up or
down to project images on the ceiling or
floor. This makes it an effective
communication tool that lets you express
your ideas with great impact. s p.84
A design that harmonizes with the surrounding environment, and
makes the installation easy
The projector's sophisticated design has a
cable cover in which cables are hidden for
a clean exterior appearance.
The bar type handles are designed to
make moving and installing the projector
easy so it can be handled safely. The
ceiling mount is attached to these handles
to mount the projector on the ceiling.
The projector does not need to be turned
upside down so installation is easy. The
initial settings can be easily set as you
look at the screen because the control
panel is arranged on the back of the
projector.
Easy maintenance
You can replace the lamp by opening a cover and pulling it straight out of the back of
the projector without using a screwdriver.
There is only one air filter so cleaning and replacement are easy. The lamp and air filter can be safely replaced even when mounted on the ceiling because their covers do
not fall off even if you release them.
Projector Features
8
Reliablity you can depend on
The projector is equipped with two lamps. Even if one of the lamps
breaks, you can continue projecting with the other lamp and avoid
disrupting important presentations.
Large Projection Area and Precise Colors
Equipped with a high-resolution WUXGA panel (EB-Z8000WU only)
You can project a dramatic amount of
information on the screen. Viewers can
see the information at a glance without
having to scroll or switch screens.
Epson Cinema Filter supports the color gamut for digital cinema.
Select Theatre or sRGB in Color Mode to use Epson Cinema Filter for 100% reproduction of the color gamut used for digital cinema. As a result, this reproduces colors
that are full and deep.
Precise color adjustments
As well as Color Mode, you can also adjust the image's absolute color temperature
and the strength of each RGB color. Also, because you can adjust the hue, saturation,
and brightness of each RGBCMY, the image can be projected with depth and a color
matching in superior detail.
Enhanced security functions
Password Protect to restrict and manage users
By setting a Password you can restrict who can use the projector. s p.37
Control Panel Lock restricts button operation on the Control panel.
You can use this to prevent people from changing projector settings without permission at events, in schools, and so on. s p.39
Equipped with various anti-theft devices
The projector is equipped with the following types of anti-theft security devices.
s p.41
• Security slot
• Security cable installation point
Easy to handle
Direct power On/Off
In places where power is managed centrally, such as in a conference room, the projector can be set to power on and off automatically when the power source to which the
projector is connected is switched on or off.
No cool down delay
After turning the projector's power off, you can disconnect the projector's power cable without having to wait for the projector to cool down.
Using the projector over a network (EB-Z8050W only)
You can make effective use of your network by using the supplied
"EPSON Projector Software for Meeting & Monitoring" to perform
Projector Features
efficient and varied presentations and meetings. s Projector Operation
Guide
Connect to the projector from computers via a network
You can use your existing network to share the projector from multiple computers.
Documents can be projected from each computer without having to change any cables during meetings or presentations. Also, you don't have to worry about the distance between the computer and the projector.
Connecting wirelessly to a computer
When you install the optional wireless LAN unit in the projector, you can connect wirelessly to a computer.

Useful Functions
This chapter explains useful tips for giving presentations, and the Security functions.
Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image
17
There are two methods of correcting distortion in projected images as
below.
• Quick Corner
This allows you to manually correct each of the four corners of the
projected image separately.
We recommend using Quick Corner to accurately adjust keystone
distortion.
• H/V-Keystone
This allows you to manually correct distortion in the horizontal and
vertical directions independently. You can perform easy H/V-Keystone
corrections by using the [
on the projector's control panel.
Shift the lens to the position shown below when performing
q
horizontal and vertical keystone. When the lens shift is not
positioned as below, the distortion is not corrected accurately.
• The horizontal lens shift is set to the center.
• The vertical lens shift is set to the top or bottom.
The correction may not be properly performed according to the
zoom adjustment value. And, the projected screen size may become
smaller after performing the correction. Be careful about the
projection distance when installing the projector.

Quick Start Guide
Because Quick Corner and H/V-Keystone correction can be carried out
while projecting a test pattern, you do not need to make preparations
by connecting a computer or other equipment.
Quick Corner and horizontal and vertical keystone cannot be performed
at the same time. When the Keystone correction method is selected
from the configuration menu, the correction method you choose is

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.
• Changing directly 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 on the Remote Control or the Control panel.
