Using EMP Monitor
Before using EMP Monitor, make sure you’ve installed the program as 
described in Appendix A or on the Quick Setup sheet. The computer

described in Chapter 3.

If you’ve added the program to the Startup programs folder (see 
page 89), then it may already be open. Click the icon in the system 
tray on the lower-right corner of your screen to display the EMP 
Monitor window:

Using a Browser to Monitor Your 
Projector
If your projectors are set up to communicate over an 802.11b network 
as described in Chapter 3, you can use a standard web browser—such 
as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape
® Navigator®—to monitor 
and control each one. 
1. Do one of the following:
■Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the projector 
you want to monitor in the browser window. 
If you’re not sure what address the projector is using, turn it 
on and switch it to EasyMP. With the EPSON 802.11b card 
inserted and the projector connected to the network in Access 
Point mode (see page 34), you see this screen:
The projector’s IP address is displayed as shown.

Maintaining the Projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a 
regular basis is keep the lens clean. Any dirt or smears on the lens may 
show up on your projected image.
You also need to periodically clean the air filter on the side of the 
projector. A clogged air filter can block ventilation needed to cool the 
projector.
The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any 
other part needs replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified servicer.
This chapter covers the following:
■Cleaning the lens
■Cleaning the projector case
■Cleaning and replacing the air filter
■Replacing the lamp
■Transporting the projector
warning
Before you clean any part of 
the projector, turn it off and 
unplug the power cord. 
Never open any cover on the 
projector, except the lamp 
and filter covers. Dangerous 
electrical voltages in the 
projector can injure you 
severely. Do not try to service 
this product yourself, except 
as specifically explained in 
this User’s Guide. Refer all 
other servicing to qualified 
service personnel.

Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lenses whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
■Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
■To remove dirt or smears on the lenses, use lens-cleaning tissue. If 
necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe 
the lens surface.
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before you clean the case, first turn off the projector and unplug the 
power cord.
■To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free 
cloth.
■To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water 
and a neutral detergent. Then wipe the case.
■Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical 
detergents. These can damage the case.
