This bulletin was created to inform Epson Resellers and Epson Customers of the availability of 
a firmware update for some early production PowerLite 8100i and PowerLite 9100i projectors.
Some of the initial release of the PowerLite 8100i and PowerLite 9100i projectors may 
experience difficulty retaining ceiling mount and rear projection menu settings. Symptoms of 
the difficulty are choosing ceiling mount, or rear projection configuration in the projector menu 
only to have that setting not retained the next time power is applied to the projector.
Projectors starting with the following serial numbers have already received the firmware 
update:
PowerLite 8100i PowerLite 8100NL PowerLite 9100i PowerLite 9100NL

This bulletin was created to inform Epson Resellers and Epson Customers of the need to 
implement a firmware update for some of the early production PowerLite 8100i and PowerLite 
7700p projectors. 
Some of the initial release of PowerLite 8100i and PowerLite 7700p projectors may experience 
difficulties with an apparent lamp failure after the first 500 hours of operation. It appears to be 
cleared when the projector is powered down normally and the A/C power is disconnected from 
the projector and reconnected. The projector will seem to operate normally for approximately 
10 more hours at which time the projector may cease to function. Standard recovery 
procedures will not restore projector function after this last failure.
Many projectors have already received the firmware update. These projectors, which were 
produced in the year 2000, can be identified by the red dot on the serial number label for both 
projector and carton box. The serial numbers for projectors produced in year 2000 will have 
the number ‘0’ as the 5th digit from the left (e.g., CXN0008821A). All projectors produced from 
the beginning of 2001 also have the updated firmware. These projectors can be identified by 
the number ‘1’ as the 5th digit from the left in the serial number (e.g., CXN0110837A). 
If you have a projector requiring the firmware update, please contact Epson Support for 
assistance. Epson Resellers should use the Epson Reseller Support Line and Epson 
Customers should use the support number listed on their Private Line cards.
