 Fixed error message displayed by the NVIDIA utility

Failure Symptom

When starting Quick Wireless/USB Display/NS Connection on a PC with
the built-in NVIDIA graphics chip (ex.ThinkPadT61 NVIDIA Quadro NVS
140M/NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M Display Driver), the NVIDIA utility
displays consecutive error messages. As a result, some PCs will
experience a lock-up.

Countermeasure

Hardware acceleration level is set to 3 when Quick Wireless/USB
Display/NS Connection are being used.

Limitation

By setting hardware acceleration level to “3”, the mouse cursor flickers
more visibly than the setting of “None”. This symptom can be avoided by
unchecking the box for Transfer Layered Window on the Adjustment
performance tab in the Set Options window of NS Connection.
Note: When NS connection is being used, and the hardware acceleration
setting is changed manually, at next startup, NS connection starts with
the same setting level of hardware acceleration.

PSB.2009.06.002

Limitation All Operating Systems

• When using EAP type of security that consumes a lot of CPU resources,
projectors may disconnect from NS connection. The solution is to click
Set Options of NS Connection and set Adjust Performance to Fast.

• It takes more time for the PowerLite 1725 / 1735W / 1825 / Pro G5150 /
Pro G5350 projectors to disconnect from NS connection as compared to
the PowerLite 1705 / 1715 / 1815 projectors, due to the limitation of the
new OS (WindowsCE) on IM-X4 projectors.

• To avoid conflicts between the Quick Wireless and other makers’
utilities, when the Quick Wireless starts, this version stops services of
the other utilities listed in the attached file (Exhibit 1). When quitting
Quick Wireless, the other utilities resume their services.

• In the network environment using IEEE 802.11 b/g standards, the
wireless connection may drop under the following conditions. Due to
specification of wireless controllers, some wireless controllers don’t send
their beacon periodically. Even if a projector is connected to a PC via
wireless, if the projector doesn’t detect the beacon for 11b signal for a
certain period (30 – 60 seconds) from the PC , the projector judges that
there isn’t any PC using the11b signal in the network and switches to
communication with11g (default) signal. On the other hand the PC still
tries to communicate with 11b. As a result, the wireless connection
between the projector and the PC drops.

Solutions to this problem:

a. Establish a wireless communication between the PC and

projector via 802.11a signal.

Windows OS

• Due to a limitation of the module VLC for the Movie Sending mode
of the IM-X4 version projectors, when IM-X4 projectors display
MPEG2 and WMV images in Movie Sending mode via NSC V2.40,
fast-forward and rewind functions cannot be used. When IM-X3
projectors display MPEG2 via NSC V2.40, fast-forward and rewind
functions can be used.

Windows Vista OS

• Multi screen display function cannot be used

• Virtual display driver cannot be installed in PC.

• When UAC (User Account Controls) screen is being displayed, the

projected image pauses.

• The Motion picture of Windows photo gallery cannot be projected in full-

screen mode.

• Still images and motion pictures from Windows Media Center cannot be

projected in full-screen mode.

• Since NS Connection can capture Layered windows, the tool bar of NS

Connection is projected.

•

•

• When projecting images via NS Connection, mouse cursor might blink

depending on PC specification.

Limitations

When the PowerLite1725 / 1735W exhibit a Lamp Cover Open error state,
EMP Monitor cannot detect the error. The reason is that when the lamp
cover is opened, the primary power source that reports the error state to
EMP Monitor is turned off immediately. This is different from other models
which make the secondary power source turn off under the same condition.

Note: EMP Monitor Ver. 4.xx is not compatible with EMP Monitor Ver. 3.05 and earlier
versions. EMP Monitor Ver. 4.xx cannot read the setting files of EMP Monitor Ver. 3.05
and earlier versions.

The Check Tool checks automatically whether EMP Quick
Wireless Connection and EMP NS Connection’s Quick
Connection mode can operate properly on the user’s Windows PC
in terms of the following four points:

1. Checks OS support.

• Checks whether the OS is supported by EMP Quick
Wireless Connection / EMP NS Connection.

2. Checks user account

• Checks user’s account for administrator privileges to
install EMP Quick Wireless Connection / EMP NS
Connection.

3. Checks the wireless LAN adapter

• Checks whether the wireless LAN adapter and
driver are installed on the PC.

• Checks whether the wireless LAN is active.

Subject:

This bulletin was created to inform users about the filter-cleaning procedures necessary for
maintaining proper airflow and reducing the potential for overheating.

Reason:

The PowerLite 8300 and 9300 series projectors have five (5) filters that must be cleaned on a regular
basis. Cleaning the filters is critical to maintaining proper airflow inside the projector and reducing
possible overheating issues. Incomplete or infrequent filter-cleaning maintenance can cause one or
more filters to accumulate excessive dust over time. This can inhibit proper airflow so that the
projector begins to overheat during operation and eventually shut down. The next section provides
information on the location of the filters on the projector, cleaning instructions and recommended
maintenance schedules.

Action:
The following filters should be cleaned after every 100 hours of use. For dusty environments, filter
cleaning should be performed more frequently.

1) Wire mesh filter (inside lamp housing shutter):

2) Air intake filters (2)--located at bottom of projector:

Use a computer vacuum to clean both filters. If you don’t have one, then use a soft brush and gently
clean the filters. If the dirt is difficult to remove or either filter is damaged or broken, replace the
filter(s).

Note: Both filters should be replaced when the lamp is replaced.

3) Power supply intake filter (located on side of projector—opposite handle side)

Use a computer vacuum to clean dust from the filter and vents.

This bulletin was created to inform you of an issue that can occur when using the PowerLite
735c/7850p, 8300i (with EasyMP.net module) and remote control software.

Description of Issue:

The user attempts to run EMP NS Connection on Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP with the PowerLite
735c/7850p/ 8300i (with EasyMP.net module). When the EMP NS Connection application is
launched, it immediately gives an error message stating that EMP NS Connection "FAILED TO

INITIALIZE."

Reason:

Epson has found that remote control software, like PCAnywhere and RealVNC, causes a conflict
with the EMP NS Connection application. These remote control applications use a "Video Hook
Driver" that conflicts with the Epson GDI Monitor driver that is installed and used by EMP NS
Connection. Most remote control programs load a small client application at Windows startup and
leave an icon in the system tray (located at the bottom right on the desktop) to indicate they have
been loaded. In most cases, the remote control software can be turned off by right-clicking on the
icon in the system tray and disabling or exiting the program. Remote control applications do not
have to be removed from the system in order for EMP NS Connection to run properly; they just
need to be turned off. Consult the documentation that came with the remote control software for
information on how to disable the software from automatically launching every time the computer is
started.

Once the remote control software has been turned off, EMP NS Connection should run without
returning an error. If you continue to have issues connecting to the projector, consult the EMP NS
Connection Help file or User's Guide for troubleshooting assistance.

Notes:

VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is a remote console utility which allows a user at his
computer to assume control of another computer across a network, as if they were sitting in front of
that computer.

Subject:

This bulletin was created to inform you of issues that have been reported when accessing Epson
Wireless Projectors using dual mode 802.11b/g or 802.11b/a wireless PC Cards, either in ad-hoc
mode or through dual mode Access Points.

Reason:

The dual mode PC Cards and Access Points tend to have interference and compatibility
problems when operating in dual mode.

Solution:

For optimal performance results with Epson 802.11b wireless products, it is recommended that
single/native 802.11b mode be used.

If your dual mode wireless PC Card and/or Access Point can be configured to support the

802.11”b” mode only, set it to 802.11”b” only.
Note: In some cases it is not enough to disable dual mode and set the mode to 802.11”b” only;
on some dual mode PC cards (802.11b/g or 802.11b/a) the "A" and “G” modes cannot be turned
off.
