Setting Up the Projector
Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.

Opening the Lens Cover
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.
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.
• 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.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the center of the screen,
not at an angle, if possible.
If you project from the ceiling or from the rear, be sure to select the correct Projection option in the
projector's menu system.

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 tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on
the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.) You can also
use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.) or here (Canada).

through the computer's USB port (preferably USB 2.0). Connect the projector to your computer using a
USB cable.
Note: An HDMI connection is recommended for projecting content requiring high bandwidth.
1. Turn on your computer.
33
Page 34
2. Connect the cable to your projector's USB-B port.
3. Connect the other end to any available USB port on your computer.
4. Do one of the following:
• Windows 10/Windows 8.x: Click EPSON_PJ_UD when it appears on the desktop, then select
Run EMP_UDSE.EXE in the dialog box that appears to install the Epson USB Display software.
• Windows 7/Windows Vista: Select Run EMP_UDSE.EXE in the dialog box that appears to

through the projector's speaker system by connecting a commercially available 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack
audio cable.
Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for
video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's VGA video port.
Contact Apple for compatible adapter options.

audio through the HDMI port.
1. Connect the HDMI cable to your computer's HDMI output port.
2. Connect the other end to one of the projector's HDMI ports.
Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your computer into a mono analog signal
for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers. (Make sure
the HDMI audio playback device on your computer's audio settings is set to EPSON PJ.)
Note: If you have problems hearing audio through the HDMI connection, connect one end of an optional
RCA audio cable to the projector's L and R audio ports and the other end to your computer's audio out
port. Then select the audio port you connected to as the HDMI Audio Output setting in the Extended
