							Assigning a Macro to a Programmable Button
To assign a macro, start the ELP Remote Programmer. Move the cursor to the text
box of the button you want to edit. You can then assign keystrokes and mouse
commands.
To assign a mouse command, open the Special menu at the top of the screen
and select the appropriate mouse command. This inserts a special code (PC)
or symbol (Macintosh) in the text box to represent the mouse command.
To assign keyboard keys, you can use record mode or manual mode.l
In record mode, you simply type one or more keyboard keys. The keys are
shown in the text box next to the button, with special codes (PC) or symbols
(Macintosh) representing non-character keys (e.g., Ctrl, Alt, 
F1).
On the Macintosh, some non-character keys cannot be typed in, including
Command, Shift, and Control. You need to choose these keys from Mouse/
Special Buttons in the Special menu at the top of the screen.l
If you have a PC, use manual mode to include Scroll Lock in a macro or
to enter key combinations, such as Ctrl + Alt + S. See page 51 for more
information about manual mode. You do not normally need to use manual
mode on the Macintosh because key combinations are created using the
options in Mouse/Special Buttons of the Special menu.

							Using record mode
In record mode, you simply type keystrokes and the ELP Remote Programmer
displays the keys in the text box next to the button. For non-character keys, the
ELP Remote Programmer enters codes (PC) or special symbols (Macintosh) that
represent the keys. For a list of codes or symbols, choose the Key Help button.
To use record mode to assign a button:
1.Open the ELP Remote Programmer.
2.Turn on record mode. Choose the Key Record button at the top of the screen.
If you have a PC, you can also press Scroll Lock
3.Move the cursor to the text box of the button you want to program. Use the
mouse or press Enter to move the cursor.
4.Type the keys you want to assign to the button or assign a mouse command.
Simply type the keys into the text box. On the Macintosh, you cannot type
some non-character keys (e.g., Shift, Command, and Control) in the text box.
Instead, you need to select these keys from the Mouse/Special Buttons list in
the Special menu.
To enter mouse commands, open the Special menu and select Mouse
Buttons (PC) or Mouse/Special Buttons (Macintosh).

On the Macintosh, you can assign key combinations, such as Command + 0,
while in record mode. To do so, use the Link symbol under Mouse/Special
Buttons between each key you want to combine. For example, to program
Command + 0, choose Command in Mouse/Special Buttons, then choose
Link in Mouse/Special Buttons, then type 0 in the text box. (It is not neces-
sary to be in record mode to choose keys from Mouse/Special Buttons.)
On the PC, use manual mode to create key combinations. See the next
section.
5.Repeat steps 3 through 4 for each button you want to program.
6.Turn off record mode. Choose the Key Record button or, if you have a PC,
press the Scroll Lock key
7.Activate the template by pressing the Activate button. This makes the new
button assignment active with the remote control.
To be able to use the remote control and the new macros, be sure you have
connected the RS-232C cable as described in Chapter 1.
8.Save the template. Choose Save or Save As in the File menu.
Note: In Windows, the ELP Remote Programmer assumes use of the COM1
serial port. To use COM2 port, choose COM2 in the Special menu
4 l Remote Control of the Computer 
						

							Using manual mode
Use manual mode if you have a PC and want to create macros that include the
Scroll Lock key or key combinations such as Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
To manually enter alphanumeric characters (1-9 and A, B, C . . .), simply type the
key. For non-character keys, enter the code for the key. To display the codes,
press the Key Help button. Each control code is enclosed in square brackets. For
example, the code for the Control key is [C] or [Ctrl].
When entering a control key combination, put brackets around the entire
combination as well as around each control key. Do not put individual brackets
around alphanumeric keys. The following gives examples of how to program key
combinations on the PC:
To program Ah + X, enter [ [A]X].
To program Ah + X followed by the escape key, enter [ [A] X] [ESC].
To program Control + Alt + Delete, enter [ [C] [A] [DEL]].
Activating a Template
Once you assign a new macro to a button, you need to activate the template to be
able to use the new button assignment with the remote control. You do not need
to save a template before you activate it. To activate the template, choose the
Activate button.

							Maintenance
The projector needs little maintenance. You should keep the lens clean because
any dirt or stains will appear on the screen. You also need to periodically clean
the air filter, which is located at the bottom of the projector. Keeping the air filter
clean is important because a clogged air filter prevents proper ventilation, which
is necessary to cool the projector and prevent it from overheating.
You should also clean the trackball on the remote control whenever you notice
that the trackball is not rotating smoothly due to dirt and dust that have collected
on the trackball.
The only parts you should replace are the lamp, air filter, and fuse. If any other
part needs replacing, contact your ELP-3000 dealer or a qualified service person,
Whenever you clean any part of the projector, always turn off the projector and
unplug it first.

							Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. tightly wipe the
lens surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
To remove dirt or stains on the lens, moisten a soft cloth with an alcohol-based
cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
Cleaning the Projector Case
To clean the projector case, first unplug the power cord. To remove dirt or dust,
wipe the casing 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 casing.
Do not use alcohol, benzine, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can
cause the casing to warp.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter, which is located at the bottom of the projector, should be cleaned
after every 
100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become
clogged with dust and prevent the projector from being ventilated properly This
can cause overheating and damage the projector.
