Projector Overview
This section describes the features of the projector, and explains the functions of the projector and 
remote controller keys.
XJ-M140/XJ-M145/XJ-M150/XJ-M155/XJ-M240/XJ-M245/XJ-M250/XJ-M255
zA laser and LED hybrid light source provides high brightness of 2,500 to 3,000 lumens along with 
low power consumption and low heat generation.
zA wide selection of input sources:
Analog RGB, composite video, S-video, component video (Y·Cb·Cr, Y·Pb·Pr), and HDMI input 
sources are supported.
zIntelligent Brightness Control function (Eco Mode):
The projector senses surrounding light levels and adjusts projection brightness automatically as 
required for efficient low-power operation. (Requires “Eco Mode” setting to be set to “On (Auto)”.)
z3D image projection support:
Projection of a 3D image signal (60Hz/120Hz field sequential protocol) via one of three input 
sources (analog RGB, composite video, S-video) is supported.
zPointer:
The remote controller can be used to select one of a variety of different pointers for use during 
projection.
zDirect Power On:
The projector can be configured to turn on automatically and start projecting as soon as it is 
plugged into a power outlet.
XJ-M240/XJ-M245/XJ-M250/XJ-M255
zWXGA Resolution:
The XJ-M240/XJ-M245/XJ-M250/XJ-M255 models support WXGA (1280 × 800) resolution for 
optimal viewing of content formatted for today’s widescreen displays. This makes it perfect for 
projecting images from widescreen notebook PCs and HD video input sources.
Projector Features and Main Functions
*Separately available 3D glasses (YA-G30) are required in order to view a projected 3D image in 
3D. Also, separately available special software (CASIO 3D Converter) is required to project a 3D 
image with the projector when a computer (analog RGB) is the input source. 
						

							7
XJ-M145/XJ-M155/XJ-M245/XJ-M255
zProjection of Data from USB Memory or a Memory Card without a Computer:
USB memory or a memory card (using a commercially available USB card reader) can be connected 
directly to the projector’s USB port. The projector comes with special software for converting 
PowerPoint presentation data to a format that can be stored to USB memory or a memory card and 
projected without using a computer. Images and movies also can be projected directly from USB 
memory or a memory card.
zMulti Projection Camera (YC-400, YC-430) Connection:
A CASIO Multi Projection Camera can be connected directly to the projector’s USB port for fine 
resolution projection of documents and other images. Document camera capabilities allow 
projection of data without going through a computer.
zGraphic Scientific Function Calculator Connection:
Certain CASIO graphic scientific calculator models can be connected directly to the projector’s 
USB port for projection of the calculator screen contents.
zProjection of Computer Screen Contents via Wireless LAN:
The projector comes with a wireless LAN adapter. After a wireless LAN connection is established, 
the contents of the computer screen can be sent to the projector for projection.
zSupport for Wireless projection from MobiShow:
You can install AWIND’s MobiShow (client software for wireless connection to a projector) on a 
smartphone or mobile terminal, and then use the projector to project photographs and presentation 
files stored in the smartphone or terminal memory.
zProjector operation via wired or wireless LAN:
Remote control of the projector is supported via a wired connection to the LAN port on the back or 
the projector or via wireless LAN.*Note that the type of terminal and the MobiShow version can limit certain functions or can even 
make projection impossible.

Operations in this manual are presented based on the remote controller that comes with the projector. 
Major operation keys are also provided on the projector unit, so the most of the same procedures can 
also be performed directly on the projector.
Remote Controller Keys
The remote controller does not come with batteries loaded. You need to load the two supplied 
batteries before use.
Important!To avoid running down the batteries, store the remote control unit so its keys are not pressed 
inadvertently.

Operation During Projection
Turning on the projector initially causes the same input source that was selected the last time it was 
turned off to be selected.
To select a different input source
1.Press the [INPUT] key.
zThis displays the input source selection screen.
2.Select either the Normal Input Mode or 3D Input Mode depending on the type of 
image you want to project.
zFor details about the 3D Input Mode, see the explanation in the following section.
3.Use the [T] and [S] keys to select the name of the input source you want to 
select and then press the [ENTER] key.
zThe name of the input source you select appears in the upper right corner of the projection 
screen for a few seconds.
zThe message “No signal input.” will appear if no input signal can be selected.
3D Input Mode
Your projector supports projection of 3D images. To project a 3D image, first enter the projector’s 3D 
input mode, and then select the input source.
Important!zSeparately available 3D glasses (YA-G30) are required in order to view a projected 3D image in 
3D.
zSeparately available special software (CASIO 3D Converter) is required to project a 3D image 
with the projector when a computer (analog RGB) is the input source.
The input sources described below can be selected for projection in the 3D Input Mode.
NoteSee “3D Signals (3D Input Mode)” (page 54) for a list of 3D image signals supported by this 
projector.
