Using the Tablet PC and Ink Functions
When you install the Easy Interactive Driver, the Tablet PC function is enabled in 
Windows 7 and Windows Vista
®. This allows you to annotate, use handwriting 
input, and perform other actions using the pen, even without installing 
annotation software. 
1. To open the Tablet PC input panel, select 
 > All Programs > 
Accessories> Ta b l e t  P C.
2. Select 
Tablet PC Input Panel.
If you have Microsoft Office 2003 or later, you can also use the Ink function in 
Office applications. This lets you add handwritten notes to a document, 
spreadsheet, or presentation, and save the notes with the file.
For more information about the Tablet PC and Ink functions, see your Windows 
Help information.

Problems and Solutions
Problems Displaying Your Computer Screen
■Check that the Ppower light is green and not flashing. The projector may be 
in standby or sleep mode. If the Ppower light is orange, press the Ppower 
button to turn the projector on. Also press the 
A/V Mute button on the 
remote control to make sure the picture has not been turned off temporarily.
■The attached computer may be in sleep mode or displaying a black screen 
saver. Try pressing a key on the computer.
■If more than one computer or one or more video sources are connected, you 
may need to press the 
Source Search button to select the correct source. 
Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after pressing the button.
■If you don’t see the whole screen, press the Auto button on the remote 
control. Or, press the 
Aspect button and try various settings. Make sure the 
Resolution option (on the Signal menu) is set to Auto.
■If you see a No Signal message and you’re using a PC notebook: 
Hold down the 
Fn key on the keyboard and press the function key that lets 
you display on an external monitor. It may have an icon such as  , or it 
may be labelled 
CRT/LCD. You may need to hold down the Fn key while 
pressing it.  
						

							Problems and Solutions23
■If you see a No Signal message and you’re using a Macintosh:
1. Open 
System Preferences. 
2. Click 
Display or Displays.
3. Click 
Detect Displays. 
4. Do one of the following:
Mac OS X 10.6.x: Click 
Show displays in menu bar.
Other versions of Mac OS X: Make sure the 
VGA Display or Color LCD 
dialog box is selected, click the 
Arrangement or Arrange tab, then make 
sure the 
Mirror Displays checkbox is selected. 
Interactive Pen Problems
■Make sure the USB cable is securely connected to the projector and computer. 
Try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable to your computer. 
■If you don’t see the   pen icon on your taskbar (Windows) or in the Dock 
(Mac OS), do one of the following:
Windows: Select 
 or Start > All Programs or Programs > EPSON 
Projector
 > Easy Interactive Driver.
Macintosh: Open the Applications folder, then select the 
Easy Interactive 
Driver
 icon.
■If you see a red X on the pen icon, the computer and projector are not 
connected correctly. Try removing and reconnecting the USB cable.
■Make sure the pen batteries have enough power. If the light on the pen doesn’t 
turn green when you press the button, you need to replace the batteries.
■Make sure you are not casting a shadow on the projection surface, and 
nothing is blocking the signal between the pen and the interactive receiver on 
the projector. The cable cover should be attached to the projector to keep the 
cables out of the way.
■Dim the room lights and turn off any fluorescent lights. Make sure the 
projection surface and the pen receiver are not in direct sunlight or other 
sources of bright lighting.
■For easier operation, hold the pen at an angle to the projection surface. 
						

							24Solving Problems
■If the pen position is not accurate, you may need to recalibrate the pen (see 
page 14). 
■If the flashing circles don’t appear when you try to calibrate, make sure the 
VGA cable and USB cable are securely connected to the computer (see 
page 10). Try restarting the Easy Interactive Driver, as described page 23.
Try pressing the 
Auto button on the remote control to sync up your computer 
with the projector.
If the circles don’t stop flashing and don’t turn black (or they stop flashing 
and turn black automatically), dim or turn off any bright lights near the 
projection surface.
■Make sure you are not using Extended Display mode. The interactive 
functions are not available in this mode.

Epson America, Inc. Limited Warranty
Two-Year Projector Limited Warranty and 90-Day Lamp Limited Warranty
What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser 
of the Epson projector product enclosed with this limited warranty statement that the 
product, if purchased new and operated in the United States or Canada, will be free from 
defects in workmanship and materials for a period of two (2) years from the date of 
original purchase. This limited warranty applies only to the projector and interactive pens, 
not to the projector lamp, which carries a limited warranty period of ninety (90) days from 
the date of original purchase. For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date of 
original purchase.
What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: If your product requires service during the 
limited warranty period, please call Epson at the number on the bottom of this statement 
and be prepared to provide the model, serial number, and date of original purchase. Epson 
will, at its option, repair or replace the defective unit, without charge for parts or labor. 
When warranty service involves the exchange of the product or of a part, the item replaced 
becomes Epson property. The exchanged product or part may be new or refurbished to the 
Epson standard of quality, and at Epsons option, the replacement may be another model 
of like kind and quality. Epsons liability for replacement of the covered product will not 
exceed the original retail selling price of the covered product. Exchange or replacement 
products or parts assume the remaining warranty period of the product covered by this 
limited warranty. If Epson replaces the lamp as part of the warranty service, the 
replacement lamp carries the limited 90-day warranty stated above.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty covers only normal use of the product. 
Twenty-four hours per day or other excessive continual use is not considered normal use. 
This warranty does not cover consumables such as filters. This warranty is not transferable. 
Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the Epson label or logo or the rating 
label or serial number be removed. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the 
product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, 
abuse, improper installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such 
as fire, flood, and lightning, improper electrical current, software problems, interaction 
with non-Epson products, or service other than by Epson or an Epson Authorized 
Servicer. Postage, insurance, or shipping costs incurred in presenting your Epson product 
for carry-in warranty service are your responsibility. Epson will pay for all freight charges if 
you choose to send your unit to Epson for repair. If a claimed defect cannot be identified 
or reproduced in service, you will be held responsible for costs incurred.

LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT 
NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR 
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE  
						

							28NoticesEXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL 
EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY 
PERIOD IDENTIFIED ABOVE. UNLESS STATED HEREIN, ANY STATEMENTS 
OR REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY ANY OTHER PERSON OR FIRM ARE 
VOID. IN THE EVENT THE REMEDIES ABOVE FAIL, EPSONS ENTIRE 
LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO A REFUND OF THE PRICE PAID FOR THE

FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and 
some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential 
damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty 
gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from 
jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
