one touches the projector’s buttons while you’re using the remote 
control

							66Configuring the ProjectorIf you assign the projector a password, a screen appears requesting the 
password whenever the projector is turned on. If you enter the 
password incorrectly three times in succession, the projector’s 
operation is locked and you’ll need to disconnect the power cord, then 
reconnect it to redisplay the password screen. If an incorrect password 
is entered 30 times in a row, the projector is locked and you’ll need to 
contact Epson to unlock it. See “Where To Get Help” on page 106.
If someone else will be using the projector for awhile but you want to 
make sure the person returns it by a certain time, you can temporarily 
disable the password for a set period of time. When that time has 
elapsed, the password is reactivated and must be entered before the 
projector can be used.
When you enable the Operation Lock feature, all of the projector’s 
buttons are disabled except the P 
Power button.
Creating Your Own Screen Logo
You can transfer any image on your computer to the projector, and 
then use it as the startup screen and/or the screen that is displayed 
when you press the A/V Mute button. The image can be a company 
logo, slogan, photograph, or any other image you want to use. The 
projector considers this image the User’s Logo.
If you create a user’s logo for the projector, you can lock the logo on so 
it is displayed as the startup screen and/or A/V Mute screen. 
Unauthorized users cannot turn it off or change it. This feature is 
intended to discourage theft and provides a way to identify the 
projector should it be stolen.
Follow the steps below to capture the image and transfer it to 
the projector:
1. Display the image you want to use on the projector. You can use 
an image from either a computer or video source, such as a VCR.
2. Press the 
Menu button on the remote control, highlight 
Extended, then press the Enter button.
note
If you should happen to 
enable the password before 
you set one and you see the 
prompt to enter the 
password, enter the default 
password 0000 to proceed.
