Compatible Video Formats
To project images from a computer, the computer’s video card
must be set at a refresh rate that’s compatible with the
projector; see the following table for compatible formats. As
noted below, some images are automatically resized to display
in one of the projector’s “native” formats (such as XGA). In
addition, the frequencies of some computers may not allow
images to display correctly; see your computer’s
documentation for details.

Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
❏ Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
❏ To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use lens-cleaning
paper. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner
and gently wipe the lens surface.
Caution: Do not use glass cleaner to clean the lens.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter on the side of the projector after every 100
hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become
clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can
cause overheating and damage the projector.
1. Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug
the power cord.
Caution: To prevent dust from falling into the projector, do
not place it on its end.
2. To clean the filter, EPSON recommends using a small
vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office
equipment. If you don’t have one, gently clean the filter
using a very soft brush (such as an artist’s camel-hair brush).
If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn,
replace it. Contact your dealer or EPSON to obtain a new
one.
3. If you need to replace the filter, lift the tab and pull it
upward to remove the filter.
Cleaning the Projector
Before you clean the case, first turn off the projector and
unplug the power cord.
❏ To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry,
lint-free cloth.
❏ To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with
water and a mild detergent. Then wipe the case.
❏ Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other
chemical detergents. These can damage the case.
Note: When you get a replacement lamp for your projector, a
new air filter is included. You should replace the filter when
you replace the lamp.
4. To install the new filter, first insert the tabs, then press
down until it clicks into place.
