Procedures for new timer settings
ProcedureA
Click "Add" on the timer setting window. The following 
window is displayed and the new timer settings are applied.
At Operation, you can carry out the operations of turning the pow-
er on and off and switching the input sources, similarly for the con-
trol buttons on the main window. If you set the input source 
switching, the projector's power will turn on at the timer start time 
even if it is not on at the time. Because of this, it is not necessary to 
make two separate timer settings for turning the power on and 
switching the input source.
B
After completing the timer settings, click "OK".
The timer settings that have been made will be registered and they 
can be checked in the displayed timer list.
You can enable and disable all of the timer settings that have been 
registered. Select Timer - Enable or Disable from the Tool menu.

E-mail notification function settings
The mail notification function can be used to send corresponding 
notification messages to a preset e-mail address when a projector that is 
connected to the network assumes a certain status, or if it experiences a 
problem or warning. By using this function, the operator can be notified 
of a projector’s status or problems even when the operator is in a 
different location from the projectors.
•Up to three addressees (destinations) can be registered and messages 
can be sent to all of them at once.
•If a critical problem develops with a projector which causes it to 
suddenly stop working, it may not be possible for the projector to send 
a message notifying an operator of the problem.
•If Standby Mode is set to Network ON or Network Monitoring is set to 
ON in the projector configuration menus, you can monitor the 
projector even when it is in standby mode (when its power is turned 
off). sProjector User's Guide
•On some projectors, the mail notification function can be set in the 
configuration menu. When notification messages are set to be sent in 
the projector's configuration menu, both the settings in the 
configuration menu and settings made on EMP Monitor are 
functional.
