Projector Placement
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.
You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location.
When using a ceiling mount, use commercially available M6 screws (up to a depth of 0.55 inches [14
mm]) to attach the mount to the projector.
33
Page 34
Note: Do not stack projectors directly on top of each other.
There is no vertical or horizontal limit to how the projector can be installed.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.
• Place the projector parallel to the screen.
• If you use the projector at altitudes above 7500 feet (2286 m), turn on High Altitude Mode to ensure
the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.
• Try not to use the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to
smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.
• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or
next to anything that could block the vents.
• If there is not enough space around the projector and the internal temperature of the projector
increases, the brightness of the light source may decrease.
• Make sure hot air from the exhaust vent does not go into the air intake vent.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
• Protect your hands with gloves or other safety items when installing the projector.
Make sure you read the safety instructions when placing or mounting your projector. See the link below.

Parent topic: Projector Placement
Projection Distance
The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the
image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on
the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.
Use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.), here (Canada), or here (Caribbean) to determine
approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image.

Attaching a Lens
You can attach a compatible lens to the projector. (For a list of available lenses, click the link at the end
of this section.)
Caution: Unplug the power cord from the projector before attaching the lens. Make sure the front of the
projector is not facing up when you attach the lens. This prevents dirt or dust from entering the projector
and lowering the projection quality. Avoid touching the lens with your bare hands to prevent fingerprints
on or damage to the lens surface.
Note: For information on installing an ultra short-throw zoom lens, see the User's Guide supplied with
the lens.
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
39

Secure HTTP
You can use the HTTPS protocol to increase security between the projector and a web browser
communicating with it. To do this, you create a server certificate, install it on the projector, and turn on
the Secure HTTP setting in the projector menus to verify the reliability of the web browser (Network >
Network Configuration > Others > Secure HTTP).
Even if you do not install a server certificate, the projector automatically creates a self-signed certificate
and allows communication. However, because the self-signed certificate cannot verify reliability from a
web browser, you see a warning about the server's reliability when you access the projector from a web
browser. This warning does not prevent communication.

Turning On the Projector
Turn on the projector before you turn on the computer or video equipment you want to use.
1. Connect the computer or video equipment you want to use to one of the projector's HDMI ports, if
necessary.
83
Page 84
2. Connect the power cord to the projector's power inlet.
Note: Be sure to ground the power plug using a ground wire or 3-core power plug.
3. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
The projector's power light turns blue. This indicates that the projector is receiving power.
Note: With Direct Power On turned on, the projector turns on as soon as you plug it in. If you enable
the Auto Power On setting in the projector's Operation menu, the projector turns on when it detects
a signal or cable connection from the selected port.
4. Press the On button on the projector or remote control to turn on the projector.
The status light flashes blue as the projector warms up. Once the projector is warmed up, the status
light stops flashing and turns blue.
Warning: Never look into the projector lens when the laser is on. This can damage your eyes and is
especially dangerous for children and pets. If you are using the remote control to turn the projector
on, make sure no one is looking into the lens or in front of the projector before turning it on.
Caution: Make sure no objects are blocking the light from the projector lens. Objects blocking the
lens for an extended time can melt and light that is reflected back into the lens can cause the
projector to malfunction. Use the A/V Mute function, or turn off the projector to stop projection.

Turning Off the Projector
Before turning off the projector, shut down any computer connected to it so you can see the computer
display during shutdown.
Note: Turn off this product when not in use to prolong the life of the projector. Laser life will vary
depending upon mode selected, environmental conditions, and usage. Brightness decreases over time.
1. Press the Standby button on the projector or remote control.
2. If you see a shutdown confirmation screen, press the Standby button on the projector or remote
control again. (To leave the projector on, press any other button.)
The projector beeps twice, the laser turns off, and the Status light turns off.
Note: With Epson's Instant Off technology, there is no cool-down period so you can pack up the
projector for transport right away (if necessary).
Note: If the Light Source Calibration setting is set to Run Periodically in the projector's Reset
menu, light source calibration starts automatically if you turn off the projector and the following
conditions are present:
• 100 hours have passed since the last light source calibration.
• You have used the projector continuously for at least 20 minutes.
3. To transport or store the projector, make sure the Status light is off, then unplug the power cord.
