6. Using the Projector in a Network
 The projector cannot be found with General search. (IEU 1.0)
Check Points Countermeasures
Are the wireless LAN settings appropriate?
Are the channel numbers for the personal computer and the
projector set to the same number?
When WEP (encryption) has been set, has the same value been
set for both the personal computer and the projector?Please check the access points, the personal computer setting
values and the projector [LAN Mode] setting values.
When using the infrastructure or 802.11 Ad Hoc, please set to
the same character string since SSID distinguishes between
upper and lower case characters.
Are radio communication conditions satisfactory? Check whether there are obstacles located between the
access point and the personal computer. Try moving the
personal computer closer to the access point.
Are the TCP/IP settings (e.g., IP address, sub net mask, etc.) of
the personal computer and the projector correct?Check whether the network settings are within the same
segment.
Are more than one network interface cards (NIC) being used
with the same computer?Set only the network interface card (NIC) that is connected to
the projector to Valid.
For a network card that is not connected to the projector, click
the network card name under Control Panel 
 System 

Device Manager 
 Network Adapter and then click
[Properties (R)] and set the device usage to Not used.
 Sometimes it takes a long time for screen transmission from the personal computer to the
projector. (IEU 1.0)
Check PointsCountermeasures
•Transmission time may be long depending on the image
pattern.
•When screens are sent to multiple projectors simultaneously,
a larger number of projectors will result in longer transmission
times.
•The transmission time may vary depending on the network
environment.
•The transmission time may vary depending on the perfor-
mance of the personal computer as well as other application
software that is running at the same time.
Transmission time will be longer when the resolution of the
personal computer and that of the projector differ since there
will be an increase in resolution conversion processing.We recommend that the resolution of the personal computer
and that of the projector be set to the same setting value
(except SHOWlite 5000sx
+).
The resolution of SHOWlite 6000gv, is 1024 x 768 dots.
Select the resolution to 1024 x 768 on your PC for sending an
image to SHOWlite 5000sx
+.
 Cannot follow the screen switching processing of the PowerPoint slide show, etc. (IEU 1.0)
Check PointsCountermeasures
Smooth screen switching processing or animation effects
cannot be followed because in Image Express Utility 1.0, the
screen condition of the personal computer is sent to the
projector at a fixed time interval.Use the software with  the PowerPoint screen switching
effects, animation effects, and other settings set to None.

more apparent when displaying small text and detailed graphics.
NOTE: Do not stack both the SHOWlite 6000gv and 5000sx+ projectors together.
CAUTION: To prevent the projectors from falling, install them in a place and fasten them in a
way with sufficient strength to support the two projectors. The projector with a lens weighs 21

z-1. Assigning Projector IDs
You can operate multiple projectors with the same remote con-
trol.
To  do so:
z-1-1. Select [Projector Options] → [Link Mode] → [Settings] →
[Projector ID] a-nd assign an ID number to each projector. See
also page 8-18.
z-1-2. Select the same communication speed for both the pro-
jector.
NOTE: Do not turn on [Master] or [Slave] at this time.
z-1-3. On the remote control specify the ID number of the pro-
jector to be adjusted. Press and hold the CTL and press
MENU (ADDRESS) button to enter the ID number.
You can operate the projector assigned the same ID number
as the remote control.

concurrently. However, some projectors may not synchronize to the other projec-
tors.
