Making effective use of your projector
This projector is equipped with many useful functions to improve
usability. As well as a computer cable, you can connect using various
other interfaces such as a USB cable, a USB storage device, or a LAN
connection. This allows for a wide range of image input sources
depending on your usage environment.
Sending Images Via a Network (EMP NS Connection)
You can hold efficient meetings and presentations by connecting the
projector to a network.
• Various screen transfer functions
• Distribution function sp.11
• Switching function s p.11
• Multi-screen display s p.23
• Presentation Mode s p.22
Monitor, configure, and control the projector from a
remote location
The following convenient functions collectively manage projectors in
various conference rooms.
• Receive an e-mail notification if a problem occurs s p.46
• Monitor and detect problems from SNMP Manager on the network
s p.47
• Set and control the projector by using a standard computer Web
browser s p.44
• Smooth progress
If the projector is connected to a network, you can share the projector
from computers on the network. When projecting data from different
computers during a meeting or presentation, you can progress
smoothly without changing the signal cable between each computer.
Even a distance between the projector and the computer does not cause
any problems.
Projecting directly from saved JPEG images on a USB
device (Slideshow)
You can give presentations by using USB compatible digital cameras or
hard disks. By connecting a USB memory to the projector, JPEG images
stored on USB devices can be projected as a Slideshow. s p.48

EMP NS Connection Summary
There are two methods of connecting a computer and the projector via a
network by using EMP NS Connection.
Two Connection Modes and their Main Functions
Advanced Connection Mode
Advanced Connection Mode is an infrastructure connection, and
connects to an existing network system via a network cable.
When connecting to a network via Wired LAN, connect the projector to
the network hub with a commercially available LAN cable.
If you install the optional Wireless LAN unit in the projector, you can
connect to the network via a wireless LAN access point.
Quick Connection Mode (Only when the optional Wireless
LAN unit is installed)
Quick Connection Mode only runs when you install the optional
Wireless LAN unit in the projector.
Quick Connection Mode temporarily assigns the projector's SSID to a
computer creating an ad hoc connection, and restores the computer's
network settings after disconnecting. s p.13
• You can easily connect to a computer and project images from the
computer without making network settings.
• This lets you connect easily without a connector cable, and you can
connect even if the projector and the computer are at remote locations.
Main functions
You can make meetings and presentations by using the following
convenient functions.
EMP NS Connection Summary
