Laser pointer
window

Cautions Concerning the Laser Pointer

The laser pointer on the remote control emits a laser beam from the laser
pointer window. This is a Class II laser which may impair your sight if directed
into the eyes. The two marks shown on the left are caution labels for the laser
beam.

• Do not look into the laser pointer window or shine the laser beam on yourself or
others. (The laser beam used in this product is harmless when directed onto
the skin. However, be careful not to project the beam directly into the eyes.)

• Always use the laser pointer at temperatures between 5°C and 40°C.

• Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those

specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

40˚C

5˚C

Cautions Concerning the Setup of the Projector

For minimal servicing and to maintain high image quality, SHARP recommends
that this projector be installed in an area free from humidity, dust and cigarette
smoke. If the projector is used in these environments, the lens and filter will
need to be cleaned (or the filter replaced) more often, and internal cleaning
may become necessary. As long as the projector is regularly cleaned, use in
these environments will not reduce the overall operation life of the unit. Internal
cleaning should only be performed by an Authorised Sharp Industrial LCD
Products Dealer or Service Centre.

Notes on Operation

• The exhaust vent, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may be extremely
hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until
they have sufficiently cooled.

• Allow at least 10 cm of space between the cooling fan (exhaust vent) and the
nearest wall or obstruction.

• If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will automatically
turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the
projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes. Then
turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the
projector to the normal operating condition.

Temperature Monitor Function

If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or a dirty air filter, “TEMP.”

” will flash in the lower-left corner of the picture. If the temperature continues

and “
to rise, the lamp will turn off, the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator on the
projector will flash, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the power will shut
off. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 47, for details.

• The cooling fan regulates the internal temperature, and its performance is
automatically controlled. The sound of the fan may change during projector
operation due to changes in the fan speed.

2. Setting up the Screen

H

L

X

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.

• The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen. If the lens centre is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be
distorted, making viewing difficult.

• Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colours, making viewing
difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.

• A polarising screen cannot be used with this projector.

Standard Setup (Front Projection)

Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according
to the desired picture size (see the table below).

• Optional wide and telephoto lenses from Sharp are available for
specialised application. Please see your local Authorised Sharp
Industrial LCD Products Dealer for details on the AN-T6EZ and AN­W6EZ lenses.

RS-232C Port Specifications

PC control

A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C cable (cross type, sold separately) to
the projector. (See page 14 for connection.)

Communication conditions

Set the serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table.
Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard.
Baud rate: 9,600 bps
Data length: 8 bits
Parity bit: NON
Stop bit: 1 bit
Flow control: None

Basic format

Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the
projector processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer.

Command format

C1 C2 C3 C4 P1 P2 P3 P4

When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the OK response code for the previous
command from the projector is verified.

• When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector operating status cannot be read to the computer.
Therefore, confirm the status by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment menu and checking the status with
the On-screen Display. If the projector receives a command other than a menu display command, it will execute the com­mand without displaying the On-screen Display.

Guide to Effective Presentations

Electronic presentations are one of the most effective
tools presenters can use to persuade an audience.
There are several ways to enhance your presentation
and maximise your effectiveness. The following are
guidelines to help you create and deliver a dynamic
presentation.

a. Types of Presentations

Computer Presentations

• To present basic information such as graphs, spreadsheets,
documents and images, use word processing and spreadsheet
applications.

• To convey more complex information and create more dynamic
presentations which allow you to control the pace of your delivery,
utilise software such as Astound
PowerPoint®.

• For high-end multimedia and interactive presentations, use software
such as Macromedia Director®.

• Astound®, Freelance®, Persuasion®, PowerPoint® and Macromedia
Director® are trademarks of their respective companies.

on Black

Video Presentations

Use of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player and laser disc
player, can be effective for delivering instructional or illustrative
information that is difficult to present.

Digital Cameras and Personal Digital Assistants
(PDAs)

For highly compact and portable presentations, still cameras, digital
video cameras, document cameras and PDAs are ideal for transferring
data without cumbersome conversions.

Multimedia Presentations

You can integrate all of the above methods for a full multimedia
presentation including video, audio, computer applications and World
Wide Web information.

Wireless Presentations

Use any IrDA/IrTran-P compatible source such as a laptop, digital
camera or PDA to project still images quickly and effortlessly without
the use of cables.

b. Creative Presentations

Oftentimes presenters do not take advantage of the many
subtle ways they can manipulate their electronic slides to more
effectively persuade the audience.

Colour has a great effect on the audience during a
presentation. When used correctly and legibly, studies show
that background & foreground colours establish an emotional
tone for a presentation, help viewers understand and retain
information, and influence an audience to take a desired
course of action.

Colour Considerations

• Choose legible colours.

• Text and graphics colours need sufficient contrast.

• Use darker colours for the background since a lighter background

can create uncomfortable glare. (Yellow on black creates an ideal
contrast.)

Appendix

Guide to Effective Presentations

• Background colours can subconsciously affect the
audience:

Red

Red—increases viewers’ pulse and breathing and

encourages risk taking but can also be associated with
financial loss.

Blue

Blue—has a calming and conservative affect on the

audience but can also create boredom among corporate
audiences that are often inundated with this background
colour.

Green

Black

Green—stimulates interaction.

Black—conveys finality and certainty. Use it as a transitional

colour between slides when moving from one idea to
another.

• Foreground colours create a major impact on how well an
audience understands and remembers a message.

• Use one or two bright colours for emphasis.

• Highlight important messages.

• The eye has a difficult time reading certain coloured text on

certain coloured backgrounds. For example, text and
background colours in red and green, and blue and black
make for difficult viewing.

• Colourblind individuals may find it difficult to distinguish
between red and green, brown and green, and purple and

f

o
e
p

ty

ts

n

fo

.

d

blue. Avoid using these colours together.

Fonts

• One of the most common mistakes in any type of
presentation visual is the selection of type fonts that are too
small, too thin, or too difficult to read.

Appendix

Sans-serif

Serif

• If you are not sure how well a given font will read on a screen
at various sizes, try this: Draw a 15 cm  20 cm box on a
piece of paper and print out several lines of text inside the
box with your computer printer at 300 or 600 dpi resolution.
Vary the sizes of text to simulate headline, body and text
call-outs for any charts or graphs. Hold the printout at arm’s
length. This is how your text will look on a 1.2 meters-wide
screen at 3 meters, on a 2.3 meters-wide screen at 6.1
meters and a 3.7 meters-wide screen at 9.1 meters. If you
cannot read the text easily, you should put less copy on
your visuals or use larger typefaces.

• Design your visuals so that they are visible by the viewer in
the last row.

• Nothing will ruin your presentation faster than misspelled
words. Take the time to proofread and edit your work before
your visuals become a permanent part of your presentation.

• Mixed case text is easier to read than text which is displayed
in capital letters.

• Another important attribute of fonts is whether any particular
face is serif or sans-serif. Serifs are small, usually horizontal
cross strokes that are added to the end of a letter’s main
strokes. Because of their ability to coax the eye along the
line of type, fonts with serifs are generally acknowledged to
be more readable.

c. Set-Up

When giving a presentation, you need to set the stage both
figuratively and literally for success. The way you set up a
presentation room will have a great impact on the audience’s
perception of you and your message. By manipulating the
placement and use of the following tools, you will improve the
impact of your presentation.

Lighting—Good lighting is an important component of a
successful presentation. You should strive to create an unequal
distribution of light. An audience should always see as much
of the presenter’s face as possible, so most of the light should
be focused on you. Because it is important for you to be able
to read the audience’s faces and body language, some light
should be shed upon them. However, no light should shine
on the screen.

Stage— When presenting on the same level surface that your
audience is on, most people can only see the top one-third of
your body. Therefore, it is recommended that when giving a
presentation to an audience of 25 or more, you stand on a
stage or platform. As more of your body is visible, the easier
it is to communicate with an audience.

Podiums—The best presenters avoid podiums because they
hide 75% of the body and restrict movement. However, many
people feel more comfortable with a podium to hold their notes
and hide their discomfort. If you must use a podium, angle it
at 45 degrees to the audience so that you are not completely
hidden.

Visuals—It is imperative that you make sure your visuals are
large enough and projected far enough for the audience to
see. Eight times the height of an image is the optimal viewing
distance to read 24 point type. The bottom of a screen should
be at least 1.8 meters above the floor.

Screen—The screen should always be in the centre of the
room so that all audience members can see it. Because people
read from left to right, you should always stand to the
audience’s left when discussing visuals.

Seating—Arrange seating according to the dynamics of your
presentation. If the presentation is more than half-a-day, use
classroom style seating—a chair and a desk. If you would
like to encourage audience interaction, use chevron seating,
angling the chairs into a “V” shape. When you have a very
small audience, a “U” shaped arrangement will increase
interchange.

Appendix

Guide to Effective Presentations

d. Rehearsing & Delivery

• The best time to rehearse is the day or evening before,
not a couple of hours before, and the best place to
rehearse is in the actual room. Rehearsing a speech
in a small office is not the same as standing up in
front of 100 people in a hotel ballroom or classroom.

• Due to varying processor speeds of computers,
practice your slide transitions for proper timing.

• Whenever possible, set up your equipment well in
advance to allow adequate time to resolve any
unexpected issues such as lighting, power, seating
and audio.

• Thoroughly check every piece of equipment you bring
along. Make sure you have fresh batteries in your
remote controls and laptop computer. Fully charge
your computer’s battery before the presentation and
connect your AC adaptor for added safety.

• Make sure you are completely familiar with the control
panel on your projector and remote controls.

• If you are using a microphone, check it out before
hand and walk around to see where you might have
problems with feedback. Avoid standing in these
problem areas during your presentation.

e. Presentation Tips

• Before beginning, visualise yourself delivering an
outstanding presentation.

• Know your speech, memorising at least the first three
minutes of your presentation will allow you to focus
on your rhythm and pacing.

• Speak to early arrivals to help you build a rapport
with the audience and make you feel more
comfortable.

• Do not be overly dependent on your visuals by reciting
what your audience is already reading. Know your
material well enough to be able to deliver the
presentation with ease. Use your visuals to emphasise
keypoints.

• Be sure to project your voice clearly and use eye
contact to maintain audience attention.

• Do not wait until halfway through your presentation to
get your point across. If you wait and try to create a
“build-up”, you may lose some of your audience along
the way.

• Keep your audience’s attention. As most people only
focus for 15 to 20 minutes during a one-hour
presentation, it is important to recapture their attention
periodically. Use phrases like, “This is critical to my
point” or “This is absolutely fundamental” to remind
them you are saying something they need to hear.
