Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.

Projector Placement
Installing the Projector Feet
Removing and Attaching the Cable Cover
Projector Connections
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
Installing Batteries in the Pens

Projector Placement

Your ultra-short throw projector is designed to be installed on a wall or vertically on a table to create an
interactive tabletop workspace.

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 Installation Guide to install the projector using the included mounting
equipment.

• 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.

• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

• If the projector is not mounted, place it on a sturdy, level surface.

Projector Setup and Installation Options

You can set up or install your projector to view presentations in the following ways:
Mounted on the wall or ceiling

27

Mounted vertically on a table to create an interactive workspace.

Front projection from a table or portable cart

Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the screen, not at an
angle.

If you project from a table or portable cart, be sure to select correct Projection option in the projector's
menu system.

Parent topic: Projector Placement

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.

Use the tables here 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.) For more
detailed information and installation instructions, see the Installation Guide. You can also use the
projector Throw Distance Calculator at www.epson.com/support (U.S.) or www.epson.ca/support
(Canada).

• Using the optional Quick Wireless Connection USB Key (Windows only)

• Configuring the connection manually using the projector's Network menus

After installing the module and setting up the projector, install the network software from the Epson
Projector Software CD on your computer. Use the following software and documentation to set up,
control, and monitor wireless projection:

• EasyMP Network Projection software sets up your computer for wireless network projection. See the

EasyMP Network Projection Operation Guide for instructions.

• EasyMP Monitor software (Windows only) lets you monitor and control your projector through the

network. You can download the latest software and documentation from the Epson web site. Go to

www.epson.com/support (U.S.) or www.epson.ca/support (Canada) and select your projector.
