Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Placement 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 online Installation Guide to install the projector.
• 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.
• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector's Installation menu to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
• If installing on a wall, the wall mount (V12HA06A05) is required.
• If the projector is not mounted, install the front projector feet and place it on a sturdy, level surface.
• Place the projector so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle. If you cannot install the projector squarely facing the screen, correct any resulting image distortion using the projector controls.
• Try not to set up the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

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 online Installation Guide 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).

Projector Connections

See these sections to connect the projector to a variety of projection sources.
Caution: If you will use the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), turn on High Altitude Mode to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.

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 (a USB 2.0 cable is recommended). Connect the projector to your computer using a USB cable.
Note: If you use a USB hub, the connection may not operate properly. Connect the USB cable directly to the projector.
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.
