Checks whether wireless LAN adapter is turned ON.
Checks whether EMP Quick Wireless Connection
and EMP NS Connection’s Quick Connection mode can set the SSID on the user’s PC when trying to connect to a projector using EMP Quick Wireless Connection and EMP NS Connection’s Quick Connection Mode.

Notes
Output of the log file:
The Check Tool records the result in a text file (log file). Usually, the log file is saved under the name of CheckInfoDATE.log in the directory where “EB_CHT.exe” is stored
Limitations
When the Check Tool is checking the user’s PC, the user’s
PC drops off network.
The Check Tool does not check whether the firewall of manufacturers of security software other than Windows may be blocking EPSON Quick Wireless Connection/EMP NS Connection.

Subject:
This bulletin was created to inform users about a software update for the EMP SlideMaker2 to Version 1.30.
Description of Change: Updated software release for creating scenarios in WXGA (16:10) format.
Reason:
The updated version of EMP SlideMaker2 provides support for creating scenarios in XGA (1024 x 768) resolution and WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution.
It also provides the ability to select scenarios in XGA (4:3) or WXGA (16:10) format, depending on the projector model used for the presentation.
Limitations:
When creating a 16:10 scenario, the JPEG image must be in a 16:10 format.
A 16:10 converted scenario can only be displayed with a WXGA (1280 x 800) projector.
A 4:3 converted scenario can be displayed with a XGA or WXGA supported projector.
When adding a PowerPoint slide from a thumbnail window to EMP SlideMaker2 with
Microsoft Office 2007, the scenario image file may deteriorate due to an issue with Microsoft Office 2007 SP1.

This bulletin was created to inform you on the release of the new Epson Projector Control software version 1.00.
Description:
EPSON Projector Control lets you control the projector from your computer with a one-on-one connection between your computer and the projector over a network. It allows you to perform operations, such as turning the projector on/off and switching sources, from your computer without using the projector’s remote control.

EPSON Projector Control has 2 modes: Advanced Mode and Simple Mode. Although there is a difference in main display layouts between the two modes, their operation procedures are almost the same. The difference is as follows:
Advanced Mode: Each source has each source button. Therefore source can be selected
by clicking each source button directly.
Simple Mode:  Source buttons are toggle-type. Therefore source can be switched every
time the toggle-type button is pressed.
[1] Advanced Mode
The main display is larger than that of Simple Mode. Each source has a source button, so the source can be selected by clicking the applicable source button directly.

This bulletin was created to inform you of an operational issue with the Elmo HV-110XG Document Camera when initially connected to an Epson projector.
Problem:
When attempting to use the Elmo HV-110XG Document Camera connected via the VGA HD15 connection to display content from its document bed. When connected to the projector, the projector displays only the Blue Screen - No Signal message and will blink off and on or display just the Blue Screen - No Signal message. When a computer is connected to the Elmo HV-110XG Document Camera and switched to Pass-Through mode, the computer image is displayed correctly by the projector. When switching back to the document table source of the Elmo HV-110XG Document Camera, the problem returns. The Elmo HV-110XG Document Camera puts out a Progressive Scan 20fps signal to the projector's VGA Analog port. This signal is detected at 15 kHz Vertical and 291.8 kHz Horizontal frequencies which are beyond projector sync specifications.
RODUCT SUPPORT BULLETIN
P
Solution:
With the Elmo HV-110XG Document Camera powered on and connected to the projector via the VGA computer cable, access the Computer1/Computer2 setting in the projector menu system and select the Component setting within the appropriate connection. This will allow the Elmo HV-110XG Document Camera and projector to sync and the projector to display the image of the document camera bed and its contents. However, the image will have a pink cast. To eliminate the pink cast, change the projector setting from Component to RGB then to Auto and exit from the menu. The projected image will now look normal. This will now allow the Elmo HV-110XG Document Camera to sync and display the image properly to any other connected Epson projector without having to change the projector settings.

Download procedure
Preparing the computer
Download the firmware update file, epson12312.exe to the PC. This file is a self-extracting archive and will decompress to C:\EPSON\epson12312_easymp_110. Copy the firmware update files to the root directory of a USB Thumbdrive (flash memory). Note: Make sure that the root directory of the flash memory only has the 2 firmware update files on it; no other files or folders should exist on the USB memory device.
Preparing projector
Note: Do not unplug the power cord or remove the USB device before the upgrade is complete. If the firmware update procedure is interrupted for any reason, before the procedure is complete, it may render the projector unusable. If this occurs you will need to contact Epson or take your projector to an authorized Epson Customer Care Center.
1. Power on the projector.
2. Make sure that the projector is set to “Network Off” by clicking, Menu ->Extended -> Standby Mode. If the Standby Mode is set to “Network ON”, set it to “Network Off”, and turn the projector off and on.
NOTE: If you attempt to run the firmware upgrade with the projector set to “Network On”, then the projector will be stuck in a loop and will continue to run the update. In this case, remove the USB flash memory at the moment that the green light of USB access indicator goes off.
3. Display the EasyMP main screen by pushing EasyMP button on the remote control.
4. Connect the USB flash memory to USB port Type A on the projector. A Black screen is displayed.

After a while, the USB access indicator lights green and the update will start. When the update is complete, the green light of USB access indicator goes off. NOTES: USB access indicator lights green a few seconds after Power, Lamp and Temp LED’s show solid orange. Don’t remove the USB flash memory during the updating (USB access indicator is lit.)
