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.
24
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.) For more
detailed information and installation instructions, see the Installation Guide. You can also use the
projector Throw Distance Calculator at epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).

Wireless Network Projection
You can send images to your projector through a wireless network. To do this, you must install the
Epson 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN module, and then set up your projector and computer for wireless
projection.
Note: The wireless LAN module is not included with all projector models.
Note: If your projector is connected via a LAN cable to a network that includes a wireless access point,
you can connect to the projector wirelessly using the EasyMP Network Projection software.
There are two ways to connect the projector to your wireless network:
• Using the optional Quick Wireless Connection USB Key (Windows only)
• Configuring the connection manually using the projector's Network menus
After installing the module and setting up the projector, install the network software from the EpsonProjector Software CD or download the software, as necessary. Use the following software and
documentation to set up, control, and monitor wireless projection:
• EasyMP Network Projection software sets up your computer for wireless network projection. See the
EasyMP Network Projection Operation Guide for instructions.
• EasyMP Monitor software (Windows only) lets you monitor and control your projector through the
network. You can download the latest software and documentation from the Epson web site. Go to
epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada) and select your projector.
• EasyMP Multi PC Projection software allows you to hold interactive meetings by projecting the
computer screens of users over a network. See the EasyMP Multi PC Projection Operation Guide for
instructions.
• Projection from iOS or Android devices with the wireless LAN module and free Epson iProjection app;
visit epson.com/projectorapp (U.S.) or epson.ca/projectorapp (Canada) for more information.
