Projector-to-Viewing Screen Alignment
The size of the projection screen and the distance of the projector to the screen are important considerations for
determining the best placement of the projector.  After the best projector-to-screen distance has been
determined,  the position of the projection screen in relation to the center of the projection lens must be
considered.

aa = Distance to viewing screen

905
Figure 3-10. Side View
Measured from the center of the projection lens (Figure 3-9), the projected image should be split equally left to
right.  For best results, rotate the projector until the image on the projection screen is perpendicular (905) to the
lens.
Measured from the center of the projection lens, the top to bottom projected image (Figure 3-10) is projected
with most of the image above the center of the lens and a small amount below the center of the lens.  The
position of the projected image to the center of the lens is an important consideration for the vertical placement
of the projection screen.
Use the table below to calculate the approximate distance (see ªbº in Figure 3-10) from the center of the lens
to the bottom of the projected image.   Both normal and ceiling mount applications are affected by this
distance.

Adjusting the Projector Elevation
The elevation of the projected image can be adjusted by pushing the lock lever (Figure 3-11) on each projector
leg to the unlock position.  Raise or lower the projector body to extend or retract the projector leg until the
desired elevation (1 to 75) is obtained.  Push the lock lever to the lock position to secure each projector leg.

Note
Both projector legs must be raised or lowered the same amount to project a level image on the screen.
Minor elevation adjustments can be made by turning the foot in a clockwise or counterclockwise
direction.
Ceiling Mount Considerations
An optional ceiling mount bracket (Figure 3-12) is required to install the MP8030 from the ceiling.  For this
type of installation, the image must be inverted.  Refer to Section NO TAG, Inverting the Image for more
details.

Rear Projection
A semi-transparent screen (Figure 3-13) can be used to project an image and view it from the backside of the
viewing screen.  For this type of installation, the image must be inverted.  Refer to section NO TAG Inverting
the Image for more details.
3-3. Now What?
Your MP8030 is now connected and ready to power on. Turn to Section 4 for details on operating the
