Multi-screen Color Adjustment
You can match the color of projected images when two or more 
projectors are being used to display images near each other. For each 
screen, you can set five levels of brightness and color correction.
1. Before starting, you may want to assign a numeric ID to each 
projector. This lets you use the remote control to select the 
projector you want to adjust. See page 43 for instructions.
To match the display colors as closely as possible, make sure that 
all the projectors are set to the same color mode before starting. 
See page 48 for instructions.
2. Press the 
Menu button on the remote control. You see the 
projector’s menu screen. 
3. Press the 
Menu button, highlight the Extended menu, and press 
Enter. 
4. Select 
Multi-screen and press Enter.
5. Start by setting the 
Adjustment Level to 1 for two projectors. 
Then use 
Brightness Correct to match the darker projector to 
the lighter one. Press 
Enter to see the effects of your adjustments.
6. Next, adjust the brightness of Level 5 for the same two projectors. 
Match the brighter projector to the darker one.
7. Adjust and match the brightness of Levels 2, 3, and 4. 
8. Adjust and match the G/R color correction for all levels. Then 
adjust and match the B/Y correction for all levels. 
9. If you are using three or more projectors, repeat steps 5 through 8 
to match projector 3 to projector 2, then match projector 4 to 
projector 3, and so on.
caution
If you use two or more 
projectors side-by-side, 
exhaust from adjacent 
projectors might cause 
overheating. Leave at least 
2 feet (60 centimeters) of 
space between projectors.

Managing Projectors
The software included with your projector lets you monitor and 
control your projectors from a remote computer.
First connect and configure each projector you want to monitor. You 
can connect the projector over a wired network as described in this 
chapter.
Once you’ve connected the projectors to the network, you can use any 
of these tools to manage your projectors:
■Use EMP Monitor (available for Windows® only) to see your 
projectors’ status, switch image sources, turn projectors on and 
off, control basic settings, and register projectors and projector 
groups. See the EMP Monitor Operation Guide for more 
information.
■Use the mail notification function to receive e-mail alerts about 
possible problems. See page 67 for more information.
This chapter covers the following information:
■Connecting your projector to a wired network
■Using e-mail alerts to warn you of problems
Connecting to a Wired Network
Follow these steps to connect the projector to your network and 
configure it with an IP address: 
1. Connect the projector to your network using a commercially 
available 100BaseTX or 10BaseT network cable. Connect the 
cable to the 
LAN port on the projector. See page 23.
2. Turn on the projector. 
						

							66Managing Projectors3. Press the 
Menu button on the remote control, select the 
Network menu, then press Enter. You see the following screen: 
4. Choose 
Wired LAN and press Enter.
5. Do one of the following:
■If your network assigns addresses automatically, turn on the 
DHCP setting.
■If your network does not assign addresses automatically, turn 
off 
DHCP and enter the projector’s IP Address, Subnet 
Mask
, and Gateway Address.
To enter numbers, use the  pointer button on the remote 
control to highlight the number you want to input, then press 
Enter. 
6. When you’re done making all necessary changes, select 
Return, 
Setup complete, and then Yes to confirm that you want to save 
the changes. Press 
Menu to exit. 
note
If you’re a network 
administrator, you can use 
the SNMP option to enter a 
trap IP address. This lets you 
receive trap alerts for the 
projectors you’re monitoring.

Using Projector E-mail Alerts
When this feature is enabled, the projector sends you an e-mail alert if 
it has any problems. 
1. Press the 
Menu button on the remote control, select the 
Network menu, then press Enter. You see the following screen: 
2. Choose 
Mail, then press Enter.
3. Highlight 
On to receive e-mail notifications, then press Enter.
4. Enter the IP address for the 
SMTP server for the projector.
You can enter a number from 0 to 255 in each field of the address. 
However, the following IP addresses cannot be used: 127.x.x.x, 
224.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 (where x is a number from 0 to 
255).
5. Enter the SMTP server’s port number. The default value is 25. 
You can enter a numeric value from 1 to 65535.
6. Choose one of the 
Email Address fields, then enter the e-mail 
address where you want to receive a message when a problem 
occurs. You can register up to three addresses. You can enter up to 
32 alphanumeric characters for the e-mail address.
note
You can also set e-mail alerts 
from EMP Monitor (see the 
EMP Monitor Operation 
Guide for more 
information). 
						

							68Managing Projectors7. Select problems or warnings to be notified about by e-mail. 
(Numbers 1 through 3 in this section correspond to the e-mail 
addresses you entered.) 
8. When you’re done making all necessary changes, select 
Return, 
select 
Setup complete, and then select Yes to confirm that you 
want to save the changes. Press 
Menu to exit the menu system. 
When the selected problem or warning occurs, an e-mail message is 
sent to the specified notification addresses. The subject line of the 
e-mail is 
EPSON Projector. The e-mail includes the following 
information:
■Line 1: The name of the projector where the problem has 
occurred
■Line 2: The IP address of the projector where the problem has 
occurred
■Line 3: Details of the problem 
note
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.
If Standby Mode is set to 
Network On in the 
Extended menu, the 
projector can still be 
monitored even if the 
projector is in standby mode 
(when the power is off).

Maintaining the Projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you have to do is keep 
the lens clean. You may also need to clean the air filter and vent. A 
clogged air filter or vent 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 the air filter
■Replacing the air filter
■Replacing the lamp
■Replacing the remote control batteries
■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 
cover. 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. 
						

							70Maintaining the Projector
Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use a commercially available 
cloth for cleaning glasses.
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before you clean the case, 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 and firmly wring the cloth dry. Then wipe 
the case.
Cleaning the Air Filter 
Your projector includes an air filter to ensure the best performance. If 
dust collects on the air filter (on the side of the projector), clean it as 
described below. Dust clogs prevent proper ventilation and can cause 
overheating, which can damage the projector.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2. Grip the air filter cover tab and remove the air filter cover as 
shown.
caution
Do not rub the lens with 
harsh materials or subject 
the lens to shocks, as it can 
easily become damaged.
caution
Do not use wax, alcohol, 
benzene, paint thinner, or 
other chemical detergents. 
These can damage the case.
note
To order replacement air 
filters, request part number 
V13H134A17. See page 10 
for ordering information.
