Transferring Your Scenario to a 
Memory Card
Once your scenario is saved, you can transfer it to a memory card. You 
can use any of the following standard Type II cards. Most require a 
PC card adapter to allow insertion into the projector (check with your 
computer dealer for availability). 
Before you start, make sure you are set up to access the card in your 
computer’s PCMCIA slot or card reader. Be sure to use the transfer 
process described below to ensure that the scenario plays properly: 
1. Insert the memory card in your computer’s PCMCIA slot.
2. From the Scenario Option(s) menu, choose 
Send Scenario. You 
see a drive selection window:
3. Choose the drive where your card is located, then click 
OK. 
4. Click 
OK again to confirm. Your scenario is transferred to the 
card.
Once the scenario is transferred, you see this message about your 
scenario’s autorun setting:
 
■CompactFlash™■Memory Stick™
■SmartMedia™■Microdrive™
■ATA flash (does not require a PC card adapter)
note
You have to save the 
scenario on your computer’s 
hard drive before 
transferring it. Don’t use 
Windows to copy the 
scenario to your memory 
card, or it may not play 
properly.
You must insert the memory 
card in your computer’s 
PCMCIA slot before you 
select 
Send Scenario from 
the Scenario Option(s) 
menu. If you don’t, you 
won’t be able to see the 
card’s drive in the drive 
selection window. If this 
happens, close and restart 
EMP SlideMaker. Make 
sure your card is inserted 
before you select 
Send 
Scenario.

Inserting the Memory Card in the 
Projector
When done transferring your scenario to the memory card, follow 
these steps to insert it in the projector:
1. If necessary, insert the card into a 
PC card adapter. (ATA flash cards 
don’t require an adapter.)
2. Insert the card (with the adapter) into the projector with the label 
facing outward, as shown. The projector does not have to be 
turned off before inserting the card.
note
If a digital camera is 
connected to the projector, 
disconnect it before inserting 
the memory card. The 
memory card is not 
functional when a digital 
camera is connected.
caution
Never force the card into the 
slot; you could damage the 
projector.

Presenting Scenarios
Before you begin, insert the memory card as described on page 113. 
Follow these steps to present a scenario that you’ve saved to a memory 
card:
1. Turn on the projector, if it’s not already on. 
■If your scenario is set to autorun, it will start as soon as the 
projector warms up.
■If your scenario is not set to autorun, you need to start it 
manually. Continue with the following steps.
2. Select EasyMP as the source by pressing the 
EasyMP button on 
the remote control. You see a screen like the one below. 
JPEG files are displayed as thumbnails. Other files or folders are 
displayed as icons. A   scenario icon identifies a scenario file.

scenario file, then press 
Enter. A drop-down menu appears under 
the scenario.
4. Use the   button to select 
Play Scenario. In a moment, your 
scenario begins playing.

camera connected while the 
memory card is inserted. If 
you do, neither the camera 
nor the card will function 
with your projector’s 
software.
note
Your files may take up more 
than one screen. If so, use the 
Page up and Page down 
buttons on the remote 
control to view all your files.

highlight 
EJECT in the upper right corner of the screen, and then 
press 
Enter on the remote control. When you see a message 
asking you to insert a LAN card or memory card, it’s safe to 
remove your memory card (see page 114 for details).

the screen.
■To exit the scenario at any point, press the ESC button. Press the 
Enter button to confirm that you want to exit. 
Editing Your Scenario on the Projector
You can modify your scenario using EasyMP on the projector. This 
lets you make last-minute changes, such as changing the order of your 
slides or hiding individual slides. These changes are not permanently 
saved with the scenario, but remain in effect only as long as you don’t 
remove the card or turn off the projector. Follow these steps:
1. Highlight the   scenario you want to edit, then press 
Enter. 
note
Even if your scenario is set to 
change slides automatically, 
you can still change slides 
manually as described here.

Creating a Slideshow on the Fly
If you have a folder on your memory card containing an assortment of 
images, you can display them as a slideshow. Your options for 
arranging the slideshow are more limited than when you create a 
scenario—for example, you won’t be able to include PowerPoint 
slides, just JPG images and bitmaps, and you won’t have much control 
over the order in which they’re displayed. However, this method 
quickly lets you display your images if you don’t have time to make a 
scenario. 
Displaying the Slideshow
First make sure the images are stored in a folder on the memory card. 
Then follow these steps:
1. Use the  button on the remote control to highlight the 
folder containing your images. Then press 
Enter. 
2. From the drop-down menu, select 
Play Slideshow and press 
Enter. The images contained in the folder are presented as a 
slideshow.
3. Use the remote control to run the slideshow in the same way as 
for a scenario (see page 116). 
Select Play 
Slideshow

your slides and change several other display settings. 
1. Select the  folder whose settings you want to change and press 
Enter.
2. From the drop-down menu, select 
Options. 
You see this screen:
3. Use the  button to select from the following settings. After 
making a selection, press 
Enter to enable the change.
■Continuous Play
Determines whether to repeat the display of images in the 
folder.
■Screen switching time

as dissolve or wipe. 
						

							120Presenting from a Memory Card or Digital Camera
■Mode switching
Lets you choose the mode to use when presenting slideshows, 
movies, or images, or editing your scenario on the projector.
In 
Guide mode, which is the default, a drop-down menu 
appears whenever you select an item and press 
Enter. 
In 
Quick mode, selecting a scenario, movie, or image file and 
pressing 
Enter starts the presentation; selecting a folder and 
pressing 
Enter opens the folder. To access the menus in 
Quick mode, press the ESC key. 
4. When you’re finished changing the settings, highlight 
OK on the 
screen and press 
Enter. Your changes are permanently saved with 
each folder—even if you turn off the projector or remove the 
memory card. 
Presenting Image Files on Your Digital 
Camera
This section explains how to project individual image files on your 
digital camera using EasyMP and a USB cable connection. 
Before you begin, make sure that there is no memory card in the 
projector’s card slot, and that your digital camera is connected to the 
computer (see page 64 for details). You cannot have the camera 
connected while a memory card is inserted; neither the camera nor the 
card will function with EasyMP.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn on your digital camera.
2. Turn on the projector and the remote control, if they’re not 
already on.
3. Select EasyMP as the source by pressing the 
EasyMP button on 
the remote control. If your camera complies with the DCIM 
standard, you’ll see a 
DCIM folder.
4. Use the  button on the remote control to position the cursor 
on the folder, and then press 
Enter. 
note
Most digital cameras also 
have the ability to play 
internal slideshows. 
Depending on the kind of 
cable you have, you can 
connect a camera with a 
video or A/V out port to the 
projector’s 
Video or 
S-Video port and 
transmmit your camera’s 
slideshow directly to the 
projector. You must press the 
Video or S-Video button 
on the remote control to select 
the correct signal source. See 
pages 59 and 60 for details.
