Projector Features

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.

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
Page 9
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.

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

Correcting Color for Multiple Projectors (Multi-Screen Color Adjustment)
35
When multiple projectors are lined up and projecting images, you can
manually correct the brightness and color tone of each projector's image
so that the colors projected from each projector match closely.
Use the multi-screen color adjustment function when the Color Mode
of each projector is set to the same item.
In some cases the brightness and color tone may not match completely
even after correction.
Auto Iris does not work while this function is activated. Even if Auto
Iris is set to On, and Multi-screen is set to On, Auto Iris does not work.
Summary of Correction Procedure
When multiple projectors are set up and you need to make corrections,
use the following procedure to correct one projector at a time.
1. Set the projector ID and the remote control ID.
To limit operation to one target projector, set a Projector ID for the target
projector, and set the same ID for the remote control. s p.32
2. Correct the color difference.
You can carry out color correction when projecting from multiple projectors.
You can adjust from black to white in five stages called levels 1 to 5, and in each
of these 5 levels you can adjust the following two points.
• Correcting brightness
You can correct the image brightness to make them all equal.
• Correcting color
You can adjust the image color to make them match more closely by using Color Correct. (G/R) and Color Correct. (B/Y).
Correction Method
After setting up the projectors, correct the brightness and tone for each
projector to reduce the differences.

Security
Select one of the following security methods.
When setting up security, follow the instructions from the administrator of the network system you are about to access.
WEP: Data is encrypted with a code key (WEP key)
This mechanism prevents communication unless the encrypted keys for the access point and the projector match.
WPA/WPA2: This is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak point of WEP. Although there are multiple kinds of WPA
encryption methods, this projector uses "TKIP" and "AES".
WPA also includes user authentication functions. WPA authentication provides two methods: using an authentication server, or authenticating
between a computer and an access point without a server. This projector supports the latter method, without a server.
EAP: EAP is a protocol used for communication between clients and authentication severs. These are multiple protocols, such as EAP-TLS which
uses electronic certification for user authentication, LEAP which uses user name and password, and EAP-TTLS.

Installation Methods
84
The projector can be mounted on a ceiling or placed on a desk as
shown below. Also, this projector can project images to various places
because it can project images vertically or horizontally at each 90˚ angle.
Warning
•
A special method is required when installing the projector to project images
downward (ceiling mount) or upward. 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 Support and
Service Guide if you want to use this installation method.
Projector Contact List
•
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.
•
When mounting the projector on the ceiling, be sure to arrange measures
to prevent it from falling such as passing a wire through the handles.

• Suspend the projector from the
ceiling and project images from
behind a translucent screen.
• Project images from behind a
translucent screen.
• Project images directly up • Project images directly down
Attention
•
Do not install the projector at any angles other than those shown in the
following illustrations.
•
Do not use the projector upside down.
•
Set the Direction properly in the configuration menu according to the angle
of installation.

Cleaning
85
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of
projected images starts to deteriorate.
Warning
Do not use sprays containing a flammable gas to remove dirt or dust which
is adhering to parts such as the lens or filter of the projector.
This coud be a cause of the fire for the high temperature of lamps inside
the unit.
Cleaning the Projector's Surface
Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water
containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring
the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface.
Attention
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the
projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or become discolored.
Cleaning the Air filter
Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message
is displayed or the Filter indicator is flashing green.
"Time to clean the air filter."
"Clean or replace the air filter."
Attention
•
If dust collects on the air filter it can cause the internal temperature of
the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and
shorten the optical engine's service life. Clean the air filter immediately
when the message is displayed.
•
If the air filter is stained yellow with tobacco smoke, it cannot be cleaned.
In this case, replace it with a new air filter.
•
Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.
•
When using a brush for cleaning, use one with long soft bristles, and
brush it lightly. If it is brushed too strongly, dust will be ground into the
air filter and cannot be removed.
Procedure

lamp, and the air filter.
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 alkaline batteries ready. You
cannot use other batteries except for the AA size alkaline.

Replacing the Lamp
Lamp replacement period
It is time to replace the lamp when:
• The message "Replace the lamp." is displayed at the lower left of the
projection screen when you start projecting.
• The lamp indicator flashes orange.
Replace the lamp indicated by the flashing indicator, either lamp 1 or
2.
• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
Attention
•
The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time
periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the
projected images.
When using Power Consumption continually at Normal: About 2400 hours
When using Power Consumption continually at ECO: About 3400 hours
•
Do not turn the projector on immediately after turning it off. Turning the
projector on and off frequently may shorten the life of the lamps.
•
If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed,
the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the lamp
replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as
possible, even if it is still working.
•
Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been
used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp
warning message appears. You should always have two spare lamp units
ready in case they are needed.
s
p.48
How to replace the lamp
The lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a
ceiling.
Warning
•
When replacing the lamps because they have stopped illuminating, there is
a possibility that the lamp may be broken. If replacing the lamp of a
projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always
assume that the lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the
lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently.
•
Never disassemble or remodel the lamp. If a remodeled or reassembled
lamp is installed into the projector and used, it could cause a fire, electric
shock, or an accident.
