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.

EasyMP Operation Guide
Creating and Sending a Scenario
In this guide, a "scenario" refers to a combination of PowerPoint, graphics and
movie 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.

Creating and Sending a Scenario
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. s p.3
PROCEDURE
Start Windows on the computer, then select "Start" -
1
"Programs" (or, "All Programs") - "EPSON Projector"
- "EMP SlideMaker2".
EMP SlideMaker2 starts, and the scenario properties are displayed.
Enter each of the items on the following table, then

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.

Creating and Sending a Scenario
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.

EasyMP Operation Guide
Creating and Sending a Scenario
It is possible to add the desired files and slides to the Scenarios
window using drag and drop.
TIP
• See Help for the functions of each of the menus in EMP SlideMaker2.
• Use "Save" or "Save As" to save your scenario when you are still working
on it. However if you save the scenario to a memory card you will not be
able to play it back with EasyMP CardPlayer. Use "Send Scenario" when
saving to a memory card.
8
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.
