Autorun lets you configure the projector for automatic projection of image files or a movie file located 
in a special folder named “AUTORUNC”. When auto projection is performed depends on where the 
“AUTORUNC” folder is located.
The settings shown below need to be configured before using Autorun.
“Multimedia Settings 3 Autorun” (page 30): Enabled
“Option Settings 2 3 Plug and Play” (page 29): On
NoteAutorun projection of the still images or a movie file is in accordance with the current settings 
configured on the “Viewer Setup” screen (page 50).
To auto project images files or a movie file from a USB flash 
drive
1.Create a folder named “AUTORUNC” (all single-byte upper-case characters) in 
the root directory of the USB flash drive.
2.Insert all of the image files or movie file you want to auto project into the folder 
you created in step 1.
If you want to auto project a movie file, place only one movie file into the “AUTORUNC” folder. 
Do not place any other files into the folder. If there is both a movie file and image file in the 
“AUTORUNC” folder, the image file will be given priority and the movie file will not be played.
Multiple image files can be placed in the “AUTORUNC” folder without any problem. If there 
are, plugging the USB flash drive into the projector in step 3 below will start a slideshow of the 
images.
3.While projector power is turned on, plug the USB flash drive that contains the 
“AUTORUNC” folder to which you copied the files in step 2 above into the 
projector’s USB-A port.
This will automatically start up File Viewer and project the file(s) you put in the “AUTORUNC” 
folder in step 2 above.

File Viewer Troubleshooting
ProblemCause and Required Action
File Viewer does not appear when I 
connect USB flash drive to the 
Data Projector’s USB-A port.The USB flash drive you are connecting may have a format that cannot be 
recognized by the Data Projector. Connect the USB flash drive to your 
computer to check if its file system is FAT or FAT32. If it isn’t, reformat the 
USB flash drive to FAT or FAT32. Note that doing so will delete all of the 
data currently in USB flash drive.
If “Off” is selected for the “Option Settings 2 3 Plug and Play” setting 
(page 29), File Viewer will not startup automatically even if a USB flash 
drive is connected to the projector’s USB-A port. If this happens, change 
the “Plug and Play” setting to “On”.
Some folders and/or files are not 
displayed in the file menu.All the folders and/or files contained in a folder will not be displayed if there 
are more than 999 folder and/or files inside the folder. If this happens, reduce 
the number of folders and/or files in the folder.
There are multiple devices 
connected to the Data Projector via 
a USB hub or USB card reader, but 
some of the devices are not 
recognized.The Data Projector can recognize up to four drives. If the number of 
connected drives is greater than four, the Data Projector will not recognize 
the fifth and subsequent drives. Connect memory devices while ensuring that 
no more than four drives are connected.
When I connect my digital camera 
to the Data Projector via USB, 
digital camera memory contents do 
not appear.The digital camera’s USB mass storage class setting may not be 
configured correctly, or you may need to perform some operation on the 
camera. Consult the user documentation for your digital camera for 
information about the required settings and operations.
The digital camera may not support USB mass storage class. If it does not, 
you will not be able to use Viewer to view digital camera memory contents.
On the Slide Mode file menu, 
question marks (?) appear in place 
of thumbnails.Question marks are displayed in place of thumbnails of images that cannot 
be projected by File Viewer.

EZ-Converter FA is computer software for converting PowerPoint files to ECA files or PtG files, which 
can be played back using the projector’s File Viewer. EZ-Converter FA supports conversion of files 
created with Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, 2007 and 2010.
Important!Before trying to use EZ-Converter FA, be sure to go to the CASIO website 
(http://www.casio-intl.com/support/) and check the information there about minimum 
computer system requirements, and conditions governing download and use.
The procedure below assumes that you already have EZ-Converter FA installed on your 
computer.
NoteSave for certain exceptions (described below), playback and projection of an ECA file or PtG 
file normally should be able to reproduce transitions, animations, and other special effects of 
the original PowerPoint file.
Starting a conversion operation with EZ-Converter FA will temporarily change the screen 
settings of your computer as shown below. Screen settings will revert back to what they were 
after the conversion operation is complete.
The screen resolution of the ECA file or PtG file will be the resolution specified by the 
EZ-Converter FA setting (800 × 600, 1024 × 768, 1280 × 768 or 1280 × 800) when the file 
conversion operation starts. For information about configuring this setting, see “To specify the 
screen resolution of the ECA file or PtG file” (page 59).
Using EZ-Converter FA to Convert PowerPoint Files to ECA or 
PtG Files
• Conversion of OLE objects (movies, audio, etc.) and VBA objects in a PowerPoint file is not 
supported.
• Conversion of timer and repeat operations in a PowerPoint file animation is not supported.
• An animation in a PowerPoint file is converted up to the time specified by “To specify the 
maximum animation display time” (page 59), and everything after that is cut. When the point 
up to which the animation was converted is reached during playback of the converted file, 
playback will pause, and you will have to press the [R] key to advance to the next step.
• The source PowerPoint file plays when you convert a file with EZ-Converter FA. If there is no 
change on the screen for about three consecutive seconds during this playback, say 
between Points A and B, for example, the effect at Point B in the original file is ignored and 
not converted. When Point B is reached during playback of the converted file, playback will 
pause, and you will have to press the [R] key to advance to the next step.
