the Image
Whether you’re presenting from a computer or video equipment,

■Turning the projector on and off
■Selecting the image source
■Adjusting the image

Positioning the Projector
If the projector isn’t already installed in the room you’re using, you’ll 
probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen. This lets 
you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain 
close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to leave as 
much space as possible between the projector and the screen to get a 
good-size image. 
Use the illustrations and tables below to help you determine 
placement. Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending 
on how you position the zoom ring and whether you’ve adjusted the 
image with other settings. 
You can also use the Image Size Calculator
 on the Epson website.

note
You can mount the projector 
on the ceiling, or place it 
behind a translucent screen 
for rear projection. See 
page 151 for details.
