Introduction

This chapter explains the projector's features and the part names.

Page 8

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. s p.138

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.

Variety of optional lenses available

You can select the best lens according to the projection distance and purpose. The bayonet type allows you to simply and easily exchange and install the optional lenses.

p.162

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

Dual lamps, to reduce risk of shutdown

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.

Various angles of projection

The projector can be pointed up, down, or angled to project images on the ceiling or floor, in addition to normal horizontal projection. This makes it an effective communication tool that lets you express your ideas with great impact. s p.130

Achieves operating temperature of 0–50˚C

Special coolant and fan in cooling system work against a high temperature environment during operation and improve reliability in normal use.

It depends on settings and usage environment, but you can use this projector in a place up 50˚C.

Meets a Wide Range of Needs

Equipped with a high-resolution WUXGA panel (EB-Z8455WU/ Z8450WU only)

Page 9

Projector Features

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.

The frame interpolation function smoothly plays fast moving video, such as sports and action movies, reducing afterimage.

Project two images simultaneously (Split Screen)

You can simultaneously project the images from two video sources lined up on the screen. This increases the range of applications, such as when holding a video conference while projecting presentation materials. s p.29

Clearly reproduce medical images

A color mode called "DICOM SIM" is provided to project medical images, such as X-ray photographs. This mode produces image quality that approaches the standard. (The projector is not a medical device and cannot be used for medical diagnosis.) s p.28

DICOM

Epson Cinema Filter supports the color gamut for digital cinema.

Select Theatre or sRGB in Color Mode to use Epson Cinema Filter. When Color Mode is set to Theatre, 100% reproduction of the color gamut used for digital cinema is possible. As a result, this reproduces colors that are full and deep.

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.

The setting values of adjusted image can be saved in memory and used when needed. If you use one projector in several places, you can easily use the previous settings again.

Seamlessly project multiple images together

When projecting on one screen from multiple projectors, color tone differences between each projected image can be adjusted to create a seamless screen, using Multiscreen and Edge Blending. s p.150

Enhanced Security Functions

Password Protect to restrict and manage users

By setting a password you can restrict who can use the projector. s p.38

Control Panel Lock restricts button operation on the control panel

You can use this to prevent people changing projector settings without permission at events, in schools, and so on. s p.40

Equipped with various anti-theft devices

The projector is equipped with the following types of anti-theft security devices. s p.43

• Security slot

• Security cable installation point

Precise color adjustments

Easy to Handle

Direct power On/Off

Page 10

Projector Features

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.

Monitoring and Control Functions

Schedule

You can schedule turning the projector power on/off and switching the input source, as events in the schedule. Registered events are executed automatically at the specified time on the specified dates weekly. s "Setting Schedule" p.159

Supporting various protocols

A selection of monitoring and control protocols is supported, such as the Epson EasyMP Monitor application software. This allows you to use the projector according to your system environment. s "Monitoring and Controls" p.107

The supplied EasyMP Network Projection applications software can be used to connect to network computers and transfer video and movies. Using a variety of transfer functions increases presentation possibilities. s EasyMP Network Projection

Operation Guide

* This unit cannot transfer audio.

Project using "Connect to a Network Projector"

By connecting the projector to a network and using the Network Projector function in Windows Vista or Windows 7, multiple users on the network can share the projector. s p.124

Taking Full Advantage of a Network Connection

Simultaneously project four images for dynamic conferences

By using the EasyMP Multi PC Projection application software included, you can select up to 4 images from up to 32 computers that are connected to the network, and divide the projector's screen to show them together. Anyone can freely and easily project images from connected computers to make conferences and meetings more lively. s EasyMP Multi PC Projection Operation Guide

Changing the Projected Image

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 input port 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 images quickly by pressing the [Source Search] button because it will switch only to images from input ports to which image signals are being input.

Procedure

When your video equipment is connected, start playback before beginning this operation. When two or more pieces of equipment are connected, press the [Source Search] button until the target image is projected.

Using the Remote Control Using the Control Panel

When the [Source Search] button is pressed, a search is made for input ports to which video signals are being input in the following order. (The input port where no image signal is being input is skipped.)

EB-Z8455WU/Z8450WU only

When switching to LAN, images from computers connected through the network are projected.

Maintenance

This chapter explains the maintenance methods that are required to ensure a long projector service life.

Page 98

Cleaning

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 could be a cause of the fire for the high temperature of the 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

p.104

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the lens.

Attention

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

After you turn off the projector's power and the confirmation buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cable.

Remove the air filter cover.

Grip the air filter cover tab between your fingers, and pull up and remove the cover while pressing the tab.

Cleaning

Remove the air filter.

With the front (the side with tabs) of the air filter facing down, tap the air filter four or five times to shake off the dust.

Turn it over and tap the other side in the same way.

Attention

If the air filter is hit too hard, it may become unusable due to deformities and cracks.

Remove any dust remaining on the air filter by using a vacuum cleaner from the front side.

Replace the air filter.
