Problem Solving 71 If you are having a problem with the projector, first check the projector's indicators and refer to "Reading the Indicators" below. If the indicators do not show clearly what the problem might be, refer to "When the Indicators Provide No Help". s p.75 Reading the Indicators These indicators indicate the operating status of the projector. A Indicates the operating status. Standby condition When the [t] button is pressed in this condition, projection starts.
Problem Solving 72 E Indicates the projection lamp status. Refer to the following table to see what the indicators mean and how to remedy problems that they indicate. If all indicators are off, check that the power cable is connected correctly and that the power is being supplied normally. Sometimes, when the power cable is unplugged, the t indicator remains lit for a short period, but this is not a fault.
Problem Solving 73 Status Cause Remedy or Status If it is cracked: Replace it with a new lamp, or contact your local dealer for further advice. If replacing the lamp yourself, be careful to avoid pieces of broken glass (you cannot continue projecting until the lamp is replaced). s Epson Projector Contact List When using at an altitude of 1500 m or more, set High Altitude Mode to On. s p.49 Set Direction to Pointing Down or Pointing Up when the projector is installed to project downward or upward. s p.
Problem Solving Status 74 Cause Remedy or Status If it is not cracked: Re-fit the lamp and turn on the power. If the error continues: Replace the lamp with a new lamp and turn on the power. If the error continues: Stop using the projector, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet, and contact your local dealer or the nearest address provided in the Support and Service Guide.
Problem Solving When the Indicators Provide No Help If any of the following problems occur and the indicators do not offer a solution, refer to the pages given for each problem. Problems relating to images • "No images appear" s p.76 Projection does not start, the projection area is completely black, the projection area is completely blue, and so on. • "Moving images are not displayed" s p.76 Moving images being projected from a computer appear black and nothing is projected.
Problem Solving 76 Problems relating to images No images appear Check Remedy Did you press the [t] button? Press the [t] button to turn the power on. Are the indicators switched off? The power cable is not connected correctly or power is not being supplied normally. Connect the projector's power cable correctly. s Quick Start Guide Check that your electrical outlet or power source is functioning correctly. Is Shutter active? Press the [Shutter] button on the Remote Control to cancel Shutter. s p.
Problem Solving 77 The message "Not supported" is displayed. Check Is the image signal format setting correct?

Refer to the computer's documentation for how to change the image signal Resolution and the Refresh Rate output from the computer.
Problem Solving 78 Check Has condensation formed on the lens? Remedy If the projector is suddenly taken from a cold environment to a warm environment, or if sudden ambient temperature changes occur, condensation may form on the surface of the lens, and this may cause the images to appear fuzzy. Set the projector up in the room about one hour before it is used. If condensation forms on the lens, turn the projector off and wait for the condensation to disappear.

Appendix This chapter provides information on maintenance procedures to ensure the best level of performance from the projector for a long time to come.
Installation Methods The projector can be mounted on a ceiling or placed on a desk as shown below. Also, this projector can project images to various places because it can project images vertically or horizontally at each 90˚ angle. 84 • Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen. • Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. • Project images from in front of a screen.
Cleaning You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate. Warning Do not use sprays containing a flammable gas to remove dirt or dust which is adhering to parts such as the lens or filter of the projector. This coud be a cause of the fire for the high temperature of lamps inside the unit. 85 Cleaning the Air filter Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is displayed or the Filter indicator is flashing green.
Cleaning C Remove the air filter. 86 Attention If the air filter is hit too hard, it may become unusable due to deformities and cracks. E Remove any dust remaining on the air filter by using a vacuum cleaner from the front side. D With the front (the side with tabs) of the air filter facing down, tap the air filter four or five times to shake off the dust. Turn it over and tap the other side in the same way. F Replace the air filter.
Cleaning 87 G Replace the air filter cover. Press the cover until it clicks into place. q If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air filter. s p.
Replacing Consumables 88 This section explains how to replace the Remote Control batteries, the lamp, and the air filter.

Glossary 125 This section explains easily terms that are used with the projector and difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available publications. AMX Device Discovery AMX Device Discovery is a technology developed by AMX to facilitate AMX control systems for easy operation of the target equipment. Epson have implemented this protocol technology, and have provided a setting to enable the protocol function (ON).
Glossary 126 Progressive A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create a single image. Refresh Rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and color for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the Refresh Rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
