NOTE: If the computer sends an undefined command code or data code the projector

may not operate properly.

Commands consist of 2 command bytes and following data bytes.
The first byte indicates the kinds of commands and the length of the command.

‘0xH’ : Error-reply Projector sends to computer.
‘1xH’ : Command reply Projector sends to computer.
‘2xH’ : Ask command Computer sends to Projector.
‘3xH’ : Set command Computer sends to Projector.
‘4xH’ : Default set command Computer sends to Projector.
‘5xH’ — ‘FxH’ : Reserved

‘x’ indicates the length of data bytes.
The second byte indicates the command code ‘yy’ as listed in the command table.
The control data table shows the data byte.

23

Connecting to a Control Signal (continued)

Procedure for checking projector status.

1. The computer sends the command ’20H’ + ‘yyH’ to the projector.

2. The projector replies with the command ‘1xH’ + ‘yyH’ + data bytes.

Procedure for setting projector status

1. The computer sends the command ‘3xH’ + ‘yyH’ + data bytes.

2. The projector changes its status.

3. The projector replies with the command ‘1xH’ + ‘yyH’ + data bytes to indicate its newstatus.

Caution

Resetting the defaults

1. The computer sends the command ’40H’ + ‘yyH’

2. The projector changes its status to the default setting.

3. The projector replies with the command ‘1xH’ + ‘yyH’ + data bytes to the computer to indicate a return to
default settings.

NOTE: If the projector sends a ‘4Dh’ before the command code, the computer will ignore the ‘4Dh’.

Sample of command error

1. The computer sends the command ‘2xH’, ‘3xH’ or ‘4xH’ + ‘yyH’ + data bytes.

2. The projector doesn’t understand this code.

3. The projector replies with the command ‘00H’ + ‘yyH’

Sample of data error

1. The computer sends the command ‘2xH’, ‘3xH’ or ‘4xH’ + ‘yyH’ + data bytes.

2. The projector doesn’t understand these data bytes.

3. The projector replies with the command ‘0xH’ + ‘yyH’ + data bytes (same as step 1).

Data bytes in step 3 are not always same as data bytes in step 1.
If the projector cannot accept the status of the step 1 data bytes, the projector will set the proper
status and reply with this new data bytes setting to the computer, or the projector will reply
with the error reply ‘0xH’ + ‘yyH’ + data bytes that are the same as those sent in step 1.

Sample of framing error

1. The projector detects a framing error.

2. The projector changes to 1200bps 7N1 if not currently set at 1200bps 7N1.

3. The projector replies with ’70H’ + ’70H’ 10 times, every 1 second.

4. When projector receives ’70H’ + ’70H’, it replies ’12H’ + ’03H’ + ’01H’ + ’00H’.

Command byte and data byte interval error

1. If the interval of bytes exceeds 500mS, the projector replies with ’70H’ + ’70H’.

2. Projector waits 1 second for a return command from the computer.

3. If there is no command from the computer, the projector treats it as a framing error.

NOTE: The interval of command bytes and data bytes must be over 1mS and under 500mS.

If it is under 1mS, it may be treated as a framing error. The interval between reply codes and other
codes must be over 40mS.

System Setup

Typical system connections:

AC Outlet

VCR with S-VHS out (video models only)

Computer (Notebook type)

Computer (Desktop type)

Caution

VCR, etc. (video models only)

CRT Display

Turn power off to all devices before connecting.
Refer to the instruction manual for each device before connecting.

25

Cleaning the air filter

Clean the air filter about every 100 hours of operation.

1

Turn off the MAIN POWER switch of the projector and pull out
the power cord.

2

Remove the air filter from the bottom.

2

3

Clean the air filter using a vacuum cleaner.

If dirt is still present, wipe the air filter with a cloth moistened with water, or use a neutral detergent and
wipe the filter dry with a dry cloth.

4

Re-install the air filter.

Caution

If the air filter is filled with dust, etc., the protection circuit will turn the projector power off.
