Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Placement Removing and Attaching the Cable Cover Projector Connections Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Projector Placement

Your ultra-short throw projector is designed to be installed on a wall (with a wall mount).
You can also place the projector on a flat surface such as a desk or table to project in a portable setup.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Follow the instructions in the Installation Guide provided with your mounting hardware to install the projector using the included mounting equipment.
• 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.
• If the projector is not mounted, place it on a sturdy, level surface.

Projector Setup and Installation Options

You can set up or install your projector in the following ways:
28
Mounted on the wall or ceiling
Mounted on the wall or ceiling and projecting from behind a translucent screen
Front projection from a table or portable cart
29
Rear projection from a table or portable cart behind a translucent screen
Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the screen, not at an angle.
If you project from a table or portable cart, 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.
Refer to the tables in the Installation Guide included with your mount 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.), here (Canada), or here (Caribbean) .
Parent topic: Projector Placement

Removing and Attaching the Cable Cover

Before you can connect equipment to your projector, you need to remove the cable cover.
30
1. Use a screwdriver to remove both of the cable cover screws.
2. Slide off the cable cover.
31
To attach the cable cover, slide it into position and tighten the screws with a screwdriver.

Parent topic: Projector Connections
Connecting to a Computer for USB Video and Audio
If your computer meets the system requirements, you can send video and audio output to the projector through the computer's USB port (preferably USB 2.0). Connect the projector to your computer using a USB cable.
32
Note: A USB connection may cause a delay for content requiring high bandwidth, such as movies. An
HDMI connection is recommended for projecting movies, video games, and other home entertainment content.
1. Turn on your computer.
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. To use USB Display, do one of the following:
• Windows 10/Windows 8.x: Click EPSON_PJ_UD in the upper right-corner, 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 install the Epson USB Display software.
• Mac: The USB Display setup folder appears on your screen. Select USB Display Installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the Epson USB Display software.
Follow any on-screen instructions. You need to install this software only the first time you connect the projector to the computer.
The projector displays the image from your computer's desktop and outputs sound, if your presentation contains audio.
Parent topic: Connecting to Computer Sources
Connecting to a Computer for VGA Video
You can connect the projector to your computer using a VGA computer cable.
33
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.
1. If necessary, disconnect your computer's monitor cable.
