Displaying and Adjusting 
the Image
Whether you’re presenting from a computer or video equipment, 
you need to follow some basic steps to display your image on the 
screen. 
Follow the guidelines in this chapter for: 
■Positioning the projector
■Turning the projector on and selecting the image source
■Troubleshooting display problems
■Adjusting the image
■Turning off the projector 
						

							16Displaying and 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, as shown.  
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 figure 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. 
Also keep these considerations in mind: 
■Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.
■Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and 
under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of anything 
that could block the vents under the projector. 
■Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical 
outlet or extension cord. 
note
You can mount the projector 
on the ceiling, or place it 
behind a translucent screen 
for rear projection. See 
page 167 for details.

							Displaying and Adjusting the Image17
Ideally, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of 
the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. The base of the lens 
should be at about the level of the bottom of the screen.  
If you place the projector below screen level, you’ll have to tilt it up by 
extending the front adjustable foot. This causes the image to become 
“keystone” shaped, but you can correct the distortion by pressing the 
buttons on the projector. See page23 for detailed information about 
correcting the image shape. 
For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location, 
such as a theater or conference room, see page 167.
Projecting the Image
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up as described 
on page 35. Then follow the instructions below to start the projector 
and display an image. 
Turning On the Projector
Turn on any connected computer or video equipment before starting 
the projector so it can automatically detect and display the image 
source. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of 
connected equipment, you may have to select the image source 
manually (see page 19). 
note
After positioning the 
projector, you may want to 
connect a Kensington 
MicroSaver
® anti-theft 
device to the lock port on the 
projector. You can purchase 
this from Epson; see 
page 13.

1. Open the A/V Mute slide (lens cover). 
2. Plug one end of the power cable into the projector, and the other 
end into an electrical outlet.
The 
Power light turns orange. 
note
To shut down the projector, 
see page 25. Shutting down 
the projector correctly 
prevents premature lamp 
failure and possible damage 
from overheating.

3. Press the red PPower button on the remote control or on top of 
the projector. 
The projector beeps once and the 
Power light flashes green as the 
projector warms up, then an image begins to appear. When the 
Power light stops flashing and remains green, the projector is 
ready for use.  
4. If you’ve connected a Windows-based computer to the projector, 
you may see a New Hardware Wizard screen saying your 
computer has found a plug-and-play monitor; if so, click 
Cancel. 
5. If you are prompted to enter a password, see page 117.
Selecting the Image Source
Selecting the image source lets you switch between images input from 
different pieces of connected equipment (such as a computer or DVD 
player).  
If you don’t see the image you want, press the 
Source Search button 
on the projector or the 
Search button on the remote control until 
you see the image you want to project. 
You can also use the 
Source buttons on the remote control to switch 
between devices connected to the ports identified on each button, or 
select EasyMP
™ to project wirelessly or from a USB drive. 
warning
Never look into the lens 
when the lamp is on. This 
can damage your eyes, and is 
especially dangerous for 
children.
note
To focus and adjust the 
image, see page 22. If a 
projected image fails to 
appear, see page 20 for help.

Troubleshooting Display Problems
Follow these guidelines if you’re having trouble displaying an image. 
You Can’t Project an Image
If you don’t see the image you are trying to project, try the following: 
■Make sure the cables are connected correctly, as described 
beginning on page 35.
■Make sure the Power light is green and not flashing and the A/V 
Mute slide is open. 
■If you’ve connected more than one computer and/or video source, 
you may need to press the 
Source Search button on the 
projector’s control panel or 
Search button on the remote control 
to select the correct source. (Allow a few seconds for the projector 
to sync up after pressing the button.)
■If you’re using a PC notebook, press the function key on your 
keyboard that lets you display on an external monitor. It may be 
labeled 
CRT/LCD or have an icon such as  . You may have to 
hold down the 
Fn key while pressing it. Allow a few seconds for 
the projector to sync up after changing the setting. 
The Projector and Notebook Don’t Display the 
Same Image
If you’re projecting from a notebook, and you can’t see your image on 
the projection screen and on your computer at the same time, follow 
these guidelines.
If you’re using a PC notebook:
■On most systems, there’s a function key that lets you toggle 
between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on both at 
the same time. It may be labeled 
CRT/LCD or have an icon such as 
. You may have to hold down the 
Fn key while pressing it. 
Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after changing
