.jpg Any version. However, CMYK colour formats and
progressive formats cannot be played back.
If the movie exceeds a maximum size of 720 × 480,
or is not in the same form as a DVD (sequence
header arranged for each GOP) it cannot be played
back.
The reproducible audio format is MPEG-1 Layer 2.
Linear PCM and AC-3 audio cannot be played back.
It is recommended that memory cards used be of the
CompactFlash format, or a card type hard disk drive.
Correct reproduction may not be possible if using
memory cards other than those mentioned above.
Additionally, if a CompactFlash card with a slow
access speed is used, correct reproduction may not
be possible and the audio track may skip or cut out.

Creating and Sending a Scenario
In this guide, a "scenario" refers to a combination of PowerPoint and graphics files
arranged in a projection order and saved as a single file. Scenarios are created with
EMP SlideMaker2.
Using EMP SlideMaker2, it is possible to easily and efficiently prepare presentation
material by extracting the necessary parts of files, and arranging them in order
without editing the original files.
PowerPoint File 1 PowerPoint File 2 PowerPoint File 3
Scenario File
The created scenario is sent to the memory card inserted in the computer. Insert the
memory card in the card slot of the projector and project the scenario using the
EasyMP CardPlayer mounted on the projector.

Creating a Scenario
Verify the following points before creating a scenario.
The data that is combined to create a scenario, such as PowerPoint,
graphics and movie files, must be created in advance.
Only file types listed under "Files that Can be Included in Scenarios" can
be used. p.3
Start Windows on the computer, then select "Start" - "Programs" (or, "All
1
Programs") - "EPSON Projector" - "EMP SlideMaker2".
EMP SlideMaker2 starts, and the scenario properties are displayed.
Enter each of the items on the following table, then click the "OK" button.

directory specified here.
Click to select to play background music during scenario
playback. The audio file (WAVE format) selection screen is
displayed if this is selected. On this screen, select the file to be
used as the background music.
After selecting the audio file, play the file by clicking the " "
button on the right.
Stop playback by clicking the " " button.
Selects the background for graphic data in the scenario.
EMP SlideMaker2 changes each slide in a PowerPoint file to a
JPEG file and saves it. Use this item to select the image
quality to be used during conversion to JPEG files.
A characteristic of JPEG files is that, when the compression
ratio is high, image quality is worse than JPEG files of lower
compression. However, highly compressed files are smaller,
and take less time to project.
Using this setup item, the compression ratio grows
progressively higher going from "Highest image quality" to
"High Quality" and "Standard". Therefore, when "Highest
image quality" is selected, a high-quality, large JPEG file is
saved. When "Standard" is selected, the image quality is lower
than for the other settings, but the JPEG file is smaller.
If a JPEG file is included directly into a scenario, any of the
above image quality settings will become invalid for that
image, and the compression ratio of the original file is used.
Tip :
Previously set content can be modified by "File" - "Properties".

EasyMP Operation Guide
Creating and Sending a Scenario
You can incorporate PowerPoint files in scenarios using the following two
methods.
• Incorporate all slides in a PowerPoint file
1. Double-click the desired PowerPoint file in the Files window.
2. Click "OK" after checking the message. The slideshow is performed
automatically. If you press the [Esc] key on the keyboard, the slideshow will
be terminated. In this case, only the slides which were shown are
incorporated into the scenario.
3. Click anywhere in the screen after completing the slideshow.
All slides contained in a file are displayed in the Scenarios window.
After a file is included in a scenario using the above procedure, the
animations set in PowerPoint are maintained. Therefore, the animations will
operate effectively during projection of the scenario using CardPlayer.
• Include only the necessary slides whilst referring to thumbnails
1. Click the file icon in the Files window.
2. Double-click the thumbnails to be included in the scenario.
The desired slide is displayed in the Scenarios window.
After a slide is included in a scenario using the above procedure, any
animations set in PowerPoint are disabled.
Slides using animation are displayed in the cell as ".EMA" in the Scenarios
window. Slides without animation are displayed in the cell as ".JPG" in the
Scenarios window. Clicking ".EMA" cells displays an Animation verification
window for each animation operation.
Tip :
• Thumbnails cannot be displayed if PowerPoint is not installed on the computer.
• Although animations can be set in the Properties screen of EMP SlideMaker2,
animations set in advance in PowerPoint will operate more smoothly when played in
the scenario. To set animations in PowerPoint slides, we recommend it be set within
PowerPoint. Use the Properties screen of EMP SlideMaker2, to include animation in a
graphic, or to include animation in a slide in a scenario without maintaining the
animation. p.15
• The following PowerPoint animations can be used in a scenario.
• Fly • Blinds • Box • Checkerboard • Crawl • Dissolve
• Peek • Random Bars • Spiral • Split • Stretch • Strips
• Swivel • Wipe • Zoom
Animations other than those above can be placed by the "Cut" command.

EasyMP Operation Guide
Creating and Sending a Scenario
Sending a Scenario
To project a created scenario using the projector, it is necessary to send the scenario
to the memory card using "Send Scenario" in EMP SlideMaker2.
Designate a memory card inserted into the card drive of the computer as the send
destination.
It is also possible to set automatic projection and continuous projection of a
scenario at projector startup. The automatic projection function is called "autorun".
Tip :
• When "Send Scenario" is performed, the scenario file is saved in the memory card
under the name "scenario name.sit". In addition, a folder with the same name as the
scenario is created and each screen is converted to graphics files and saved according
to the image quality settings.
• If you use "Send Scenario" without saving, a folder with the same name as the scenario
name and a "scenario name.sit" file are created in the scenario folder. Each screen is
converted to graphics files and saved in the created folder according to the image
quality settings.
After the scenario is complete, select "Scenario Option" - "Send
1
Scenario".
Insert into a card adapter if a card adapter is needed.
A dialogue box for designating the destination drive is displayed. Select
2
the drive where the memory card is inserted and click "OK".
A confirmation message is displayed. Click the "OK" button.

In the case of automatic projection at projector power ON, click the desired
scenario name in the Scenario List, and click the " " button. The scenario is
displayed in the Autorun Scenario List on the right, and is set as an autorun file.
To automatically go back to the beginning once the scenario projection has
finished, select the desired scenario in the Scenario List and select "Revive".
Tip :
• Autorun can be set even if "Scenario Option" - "Edit Autorun" is selected.
• Autorun setting cannot be designated in the EasyMP CardPlayer.
• If there are two or more files set for autorun, they will be played back in order on the
Autorun Scenarios List.

quality of the scenario is set to "Standard". The image quality can be changed in the
scenario settings dialogue box displayed by selecting "File" - "Properties". For details
concerning image quality, see "Creating a Scenario". p.5
• In the event that multiple PowerPoint files are selected and dragged-and-dropped onto
the EMP SlideMaker2 program icon, only the file whose icon is pointed at by the
mouse cursor will be made into a scenario.
• When easy scenario creation is performed, the scenario will be created from all the
slides in the PowerPoint file. If there are slides you do not wish to project, right-click
those cells and select "Inactive".
• The following PowerPoint animations can be used in a scenario.
• Fly • Blinds • Box • Checkerboard • Crawl • Dissolve
• Peek • Random Bars • Spiral • Split • Stretch
• Strips • Swivel • Wipe • Zoom

When a computer and the projector are connected by a wireless LAN or by a wired
LAN, the following projector setting changes and administration are possible from
the computer via the network.
• Setting network functions and controlling the projector using a Web
browser. (EasyWeb)
• Monitoring and controlling the projector using EMP Monitor. (During
access point mode or Wired LAN connection mode connection).
• Obtaining projector status and network settings, controlling the projector,
and messaging errors using SNMP
(During access point mode or Wired LAN connection mode connection).
Here we will explain the above three methods.
Changing Settings Using a Web Browser (EasyWeb)
You can setup and control the projector using the Web browser of a computer that is
connected to the projector via a network. Setup and control operations can be
performed remotely if this function is used.
Use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later as the Web browser.
g and the SNMP manager program
Tip :
• Setup and control are possible using a Web browser if "Standby Mode" is "Network
ON" in the "Advanced" menu of the projector's configuration menu, even if the
projector is in standby mode (when the Power indicator is lit orange).
• If the Web browser you are using is set up to connect via a proxy server, the EasyWeb
cannot be displayed. Please set the browser so it does not use a proxy server, if you
wish to view this page.

Monitoring and Control Using EMP Monitor
When the projector and a computer are connected with the wireless LAN Access
point mode, or Wired LAN connection mode, EMP Monitor can be used to check
the statuses of multiple projectors that are connected to the network and to carry out
operations such as turning the power for the projectors on and off and changing the
signal sources, all using a single computer. If there are several projectors that have
been set up in different classrooms or meeting rooms, for instance, they can all be
started at once and monitored by a single operator.
Tip :
• A maximum of 64 projectors can be collectively monitored and controlled.
• Setup and control are possible using the EMP Monitor if "Standby Mode" is "Network
ON" in the "Advanced" menu of the projector's configuration menu, even if the
projector is in standby mode (when the power is off).
Check the following points before starting up EMP Monitor.
• EMP Monitor must be installed in the computer to be used for monitoring
and control. s"Installing EasyMP Software" in the EasyMP Setup Guide
• Configure the network settings to establish connections between the
projectors and the computer via Access point mode, or Wired LAN
connection mode. s "Connecting in Access Point Mode or Wired LAN

Using the Mail Notification Function to Report Problems
If settings for the mail notification function have been made, notification messages
can be sent to a computer with a preset e-mail address to alert the operator at the
computer, that a problem or warning has occured with a projector, By using this
function, the operator can be notified of problems with projectors even at locations
that are removed from the projector.
• Up to a maximum of three notification destinations (addresses) can be recorded, and
notification messages can be sent to all three destinations at once.
• If a critical problem develops with a projector which causes it to suddenly stop
working, it may not be possible for the projector to send a message notifying an
operator of the problem.
• If "Standby Mode" in the projector's "Advanced1" menu is set to "Network ON",
monitoring can be carried out even when the projector is in standby mode (when the
power is off).
Before using the Mail Notification Function, check the following point.
• Network settings have been made to enable the computer and projector to
connect via Access point mode or Wired LAN connection mode.
