Positioning the Projector
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.
❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around
and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of
loose papers that could block the vents under the projector.
❏ Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded
electrical outlet or extension cord.
Image size increases with distance, but varies depending on
how you’ve adjusted the optical zoom and other settings.
TBD
3 to 5 ft7 to 10 ft37 to 50 ft approx. distance
It’s best to place the projector directly in front of the center of
the screen, facing the screen squarely. If it isn’t placed this
way, the image will be “keystone” shaped, instead of square or
rectangular. If this happens, you can use the projector’s
keystone buttons (see page 9) or QuickCorner
correct the image shape (see page 10).

Adjusting the Height of Your Image
If the image is too low on the screen, you can raise it using the
Lens Shift. This is the best method for adjusting the height of
the image. If you need to raise the image further, you can tilt
the projector upward by extending the feet.
Using the Lens Shift
To raise or lower the image, use the Lens Shift buttons on the
remote control (or on the projector).
Lens Shift
Note: The Lens Shift buttons won’t work when the wide-angle
rear projection lens is installed.
Raising the Projector’s Feet
If you need to raise the image further, you can incline the
projector:
1. Stand behind the projector. Press the foot release buttons
on each side and lift the front of the projector.
Adjusting the Image Shape
In most cases, you can maintain a square or rectangular image
by placing the projector directly in front of the center of the
screen and using the Lens Shift (instead of tilting the projector
upward) to adjust the image height.
If this isn’t possible, use one of these methods to correct the
image shape:
❏ If the image tapers inward on
the right and left sides only,
use Keystone correction as
described on the next page.
❏ If the image looks uneven on
all sides, or just on the top
and bottom, you can adjust
its shape using QuickCorner.
You cannot use both Keystone correction and QuickCorner at
the same time.
Using Keystone Correction
To adjust your image when the right and left sides are uneven,
do one of the following:
❏ Use the
Keystone buttons on the projector’s control panel
to adjust the image shape.
Keystone buttons
2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the
buttons to lock the feet in position.
3. If necessary, you can level the picture or fine-tune the
height by turning the projector feet.
Raising the projector causes the image to distort or
“keystone,” but you can manually correct the shape as
described in the next section.
❏ Or use the Keystone function in the
projector’s menu system. (Press the
Menu
button on the remote control, select the
Setting menu, and press Enter. From the
Setting menu, select
Enter. Then select V-Keystone and press
Enter. Adjust the setting as needed.)
Keystone and press
Menu button
Note: After using Keystone correction, the image will be slightly
shorter. If it’s important to maintain the correct aspect ratio, you
can stretch the image to its proper size using the
Height setting in
the Keystone menu.

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 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.
3. If the dirt is difficult to remove or a filter is broken, replace
the filters as described below. Contact your dealer or call
EPSON at (800) 873-7766 in the United States to obtain
new ones. In Canada, please call (800) 463-7766 for dealer
referral.
Note: When you replace the lamp, new filters are included
with the lamp. This is a good time to replace them.
Replacing the Filters
1. Turn the projector over (unless it’s ceiling-mounted).
2. Remove the filters from the projector by sliding them out
to the sides.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filters
Clean the air filters on the bottom of the projector after every
100 hours of use. If they are not cleaned periodically, they can
become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This
can cause overheating and damage the projector.
To clean the air filters, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2. To clean the filters, EPSON recommends using a small
vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office
equipment. If you don’t have one, gently clean the filters
with a soft brush (such as an artist’s paintbrush).
3. Remove each filter from its holder by releasing the two tabs,
as shown.
4. Install new filters in the holders, aligning the tabs with the
slots on each side.
