1 Displaying and Adjusting the Image W hether you’re presenting from a computer or video equipment, you need to follow some basic steps to display your image on the screen.
Positioning the Projector note You can mount the projector on the ceiling, or place it behind a translucent screen for rear projection. See page 139 for details. If the projector isn’t already installed in the room you’re using, you’ll probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen. This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it.
Ideally, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. The base of the lens should be at about the level of the bottom of the screen. note After positioning the projector, you may want to connect a Kensington MicroSaver® anti-theft device to the lock port on the projector. You can purchase this from Epson; see page 12.
Turning On the Projector note You can set the projector to automatically turn off the lamp and enter “sleep mode” when it has not received any signals or the A/V Mute slide remains closed for a period of time. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. To enable sleep mode, see page 112. Follow these steps to turn on the projector: 1. Open the A/V Mute slide (lens cover). 2.
3. Press the red P Power button on the remote control or on top of the projector. The projector beeps once and the Ppower light flashes green as the projector warms up, then an image begins to appear. When the P power light stops flashing and remains green, the projector is ready for use. 4. If you are prompted to enter a password, see page 106. warning Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes, and is especially dangerous for children.

For example, if the video player is set to output images at a 16:9 aspect ratio, set the projector’s Aspect setting to 16:9 so they match.
If the resolution of the image is the same as the projector’s, changing the Aspect setting has no effect. Also, if you’re projecting through your computer’s USB port, you can’t change the projector’s aspect ratio; instead, change your computer’s resolution to match that of the projector. Adjusting the Color Mode You can use the Color Mode button on the remote control to adjust the color, brightness, and other aspects of your image. This lets you quickly adjust the image for various uses.
Operating Your Computer with the Remote Control If you connect a computer to the projector with a USB cable, as described on page 43, then select Wireless Mouse for the USB Type B setting in the Extended menu (see page 112), you can use the remote control in place of your computer’s mouse. This gives you more flexibility when delivering slideshow-style presentations, since you won’t have to stand next to the computer to change slides. ■ Use the Page Up and Down buttons to move through a slideshow.
