❼ Operating Your Computer’s Mouse Functions from the 
Projector’s Remote Control via the USB Cable (Remote Mouse 
Function)
The	 built-in	 remote	 mouse	function	 enables	you	to	operate	 your	computer’s	 mouse	functions	 from	the	supplied	 remote	
control	when	the	projector	 is	connected	 to	a	computer	 via	a	commercially	 available	USB	cable	 (compatible	 with	USB	
2.0	specifications).
The	Remote	Mouse	function	works	for	the	COMPUTER	input	while	the	computer	screen	is	displayed.
The	Remote	Mouse	function	will	not	work	while	you	freeze	or	magnify	an	image.
-	 Using	the	USB	cable	to	connect	the	projector	and	the	computer	will	also	start	USB	Display	function.
AC IN
USB-B
USB cable (not supplied)
To wall outlet
NOTE:
•	 A	USB	cable	must	support	the	USB	2.0	Specifications.
•	 The	mouse	function	can	be	used	with	the	following	operating	systems:
	 Windows	7,	Windows	XP,	or	Windows	Vista
•	 In	SP2	or	older	version	of	Windows	XP,	if	the	mouse	cursor	will	not	move	correctly,	do	the	following:
	 Clear	the	Enhance	 pointer	precision	 check	box	underneath	 the	mouse	 speed	slider	in	the	 Mouse	 Properties	 dialog	box	[Pointer	
Options	tab].
•	 Wait	 at	least	 5	seconds	 after	disconnecting	 the	USB	 cable	 before	 reconnecting	 it	and	 vice	 versa.	 The	computer	 may	not	identify	
the	USB	cable	if	it	is	repeatedly	connected	and	disconnected	in	rapid	intervals.
•	 Connect	 the	projector	 to	the	 computer	 with	a	USB	 cable	 after	starting	 the	computer.	 Failure	to	do	 so	may	 fail	to	start	 the	com-
puter.
Operating	your	computer’s	mouse	from	the	remote	control
You	can	operate	your	computer’s	mouse	from	the	remote	control.

❽ Projecting Your Computer’s Screen Image from the 
Projector via the USB Cable (USB Display)
Using	 a	commercially	 available	USB	cable	 (compatible	 with	USB	 2.0	specifications)	 to	connect	 the	computer	 with	the	
projector	 allows	you	to	send	 your	computer	 screen	image	to	the	 projector	 for	displaying. 	Power	 On/Off	 and	source	
selection	of	the	projector	can	be	done	from	your	computer	without	connecting	a	computer	cable	(VGA).
NOTE:
•	 To	 make	 USB	DISPLAY	 available	on	Windows	 8,	Windows	 7,	Windows	 Vista	and	Windows	 XP,	the	Windows	 user	account	 must	
have	“Administrator”	privilege.
•	 USB	Display	uses	functions	of	Image	Express	Utility	Lite	contained	on	 NEC	Projector	CD-ROM	(→	page	56).
	 Starting	USB	Display,	 however,	 will	not	install	 Image	 Express	 Utility	Lite	on	your	 computer.	 This	is	because	 USB	Display	 executes	
the	projector’s	program	only.	
•	 When	 Image	Express	 Utility	Lite	is	installed	 to	both	 your	computer	 and	the	projector,	 the	one	 installed	 to	your	 computer	 always	
start	even	if	it	is	older	version	than	the	one	installed	to	the	projector.
	 If	audio	 transfer	 capability	 and	other	 features	 will	not	work,	 try	uninstalling	 Image	Express	 Utility	Lite	from	 your	computer.	 This	
will	allow	you	to	use	all	the	features.
•	 USB	Display	 will	not	work	 in	[NORMAL]	 of	[STANDBY	 MODE].	To	use	 USB	 Display,	 select	[NETWORK	 STANDBY]	for	[STANDBY	
MODE].	(→	page	101)
•	 When	 USB	Display	 is	used,	 the	sound	 is	output	 from	the	COMPUTER	 AUDIO	IN	Mini	 Jack	 (Stereo	 Mini).	Image	 and	sound	 may	
not	be	synchronized.	
1. Start the computer.
2.	 Connect	the	projector’s	power	cord	to	the	wall	outlet	and	put	the	projector	into	standby	condition.
•	 Open	the	projector’s	lens	cover.
3.	 Use	the	USB	cable	to	connect	the	computer	with	the	projector.
AC IN
USB-B
USB cable (not supplied)

	 The	message	
“The	projector	is	in	standby	mode. 	Connect	it?”	will	be	displayed	on	the	computer	screen.
•	 The	control	window	of	Image	Express	Utility	Lite	will	be	displayed	on	the	top	of	the	screen.
NOTE:	Depending 	on	 the	 computer 	setting, 	the	 “AutoPlay” 	window 	may	 be	displayed 	when 	the	
computer	 detects	the	connection	 to	the	 projector.	 If	this	 happens,	 click	the	“Start	 USB	Display”	
window.
4.	 Click	 “Yes”.
	 The	projector	 will	turn	 on	and	 the	message	 “The	projector	 is	getting	 ready.	Please	 wait.”	will	 be	displayed	 on	the	
computer screen. This message will disappear in a few seconds.

❾ Controlling the Projector by Using an HTTP Browser
Overview
The	HTTP	Server	function	provides	settings	and	operations	for:
1.	 Setting	for	wired/wireless	network	(NETWORK	SETTINGS)
 To use wireless LAN connection, the optional USB Wireless LAN Unit is required. (→ page 124)
 To use wired/wireless LAN connection, connect the projector to the computer with a commercially available LAN 
cable. (→ page 123)
2.	 Setting	Alert	Mail	(ALERT	MAIL)
	 When	 the	projector	 is	connected	 to	a	wired/wireless	 network,	lamp	replace	 time	or	error	 messages	 will	be	sent	 via	
e-mail.
3.	 Operating	the	projector
 Power on/off, selecting input, volume control and picture adjustments are possible.
4.	 Setting	PJLink	PASSWORD	and	AMX	BEACON
5.	 Allowing	Image	Express	Utility	Lite	to	be	downloaded	and	copied	to	your	USB	memory
This	 device	 uses	“JavaScript” 	and	 “Cookies” 	and	 the	browser	 should	be	set	 to	accept	 these	functions. 	The	 setting	
method	 will	vary	 depending	 on	the	 version	 of	browser. 	Please	 refer	to	the	 help	 files	and	the	other	 information	 provided	
in	your	software.
Two	ways	of	access	to	the	HTTP	server	function	are	available:
•	 Start	the	Web	 browser	 on	the	 computer	 via	the	 network	 connected	 to	the	 projector	 and	enter	 the	following	
URL :
	 http://	/index.html
•	 Use	Image	Express	Utility	Lite	contained	on	the	supplied	NEC	Projector	CD-ROM.
TIP:	The	factory	setting	IP	address	is	[DHCP	ON].
NOTE:	
•	 To	use	the	projector	in	a	network,	consult	with	your	network	administrator	about	network	settings.
•	 The	 display’s	 or	button’s	 response	 can	be	slowed	 down	or	operation	 may	not	be	accepted	 depending	 the	settings	 of	your	 net-
work.
	 Should	 this	happen,	 consult	your	network	 administrator.	 The	projector	 may	not	respond	 if	its	 buttons	 are	repeatedly	 pressed	in	
rapid	intervals.	 Should	this	happen,	 wait	a	moment	 and	repeat.	 If	you	 still	can’t	 get	any	 response,	 turn	off	and	 back	 on	the	 projec-
tor.
•	 If	 the	PROJECTOR	 NETWORK	SETTINGS	screen	does	not	appear	 in	the	 web	 browser,	 press	the	Ctrl+F5	 keys	to	refresh	 your	web	
browser	(or	clear	the	cache).
Preparation before Use
Connect	the	projector	to	a	commercially	available	LAN	cable	before	engaging	in	browser	operations. 	(→	page	123)
Operation	with	a	browser	 that	uses	 a	proxy	 server	 may	not	be	possible	 depending	 on	the	 type	 of	proxy	 server	 and	the	
setting	method. 	Although	the	type	of	proxy	server	will	be	a	factor,	it	is	possible	that	items	that	have	actually	been	set	
will	not	 be	displayed	 depending	 on	the	 effectiveness	 of	the	 cache,	 and	the	contents	 set	from	 the	browser	 may	not	be	
reflected	in	operation. 	It	is	recommended	that	a	proxy	server	not	be	used	unless	it	is	unavoidable.

Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser
Regarding	the	actual	 address	 that	is	entered	 for	the	 address	 or	entered	 to	the	 URL	 column	 when	operation	 of	the	 pro-
jector	 is	via	 a	browser,	 the	host	 name	 can	be	used	 as	it	is	 when	 the	host	 name	 corresponding	 to	the	 IP	address	 of	the	
projector	 has	been	 registered	 to	the	 domain	 name	server	 by	a	network	 administrator,	 or	the	 host	 name	 corresponding	
to	the	IP	address	of	the	projector	has	been	set	in	the	 “HOSTS”	file	of	the	computer	being	used.
Example	1: 		When	the	host	name	of	the	projector	has	been	set	to	 “pj.nec.co.jp”,	access	is	gained	to	the	network	
setting	by	specifying 
	http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html 
for	the	address	or	the	entry	column	of	the	URL.
Example	2: 		When	the	IP	address	of	the	projector	is	 “192.168.73.1”,	access	is	gained	to	the	network	setting	by	
specifying 
	http://192.168.73.1/index.html 
for	the	address	or	the	entry	column	of	the	URL.
