91 5. Using On-Screen Menu Selecting Communication Speed [COMMUNICATION SPEED] This feature sets the baud rate of the PC Control port (D-Sub 9P). It supports data rates from 4800 to 38400 bps. The default is 38400 bps. Select the appropriate baud rate for your equipment to be connected (depending on the equip- ment, a lower baud rate may be recommended for long cable runs). NOTE: Your selected communication speed will not be affected even when [RESET] is done from the menu. Setting ID to the Projector [CONTROL ID] You can operate multiple projectors separately and independently with the single remote control that has the CONTROL ID function. If you assign the same ID to all the projectors, you can conveniently operate all the projectors together using the single remote control. To do so, you have to assign an ID number to each projector. CONTROL ID NUMBER �������Select a number from 1 to 254 you wish to assign to your projector � CONTROL ID �����������������������Select [OFF] to turn off the CONTROL ID setting and select [ON] to turn on the CONTROL ID set - ting� NOTE: • When [ON] is selected for [CONTROL ID], the projector cannot be operated by using the remote control that does not support the CONTROL ID function. (In this case the buttons on the projector cabinet can be used.) • Your setting will not be affected even when [RESET] is done from the menu. • Pressing and holding the ENTER button on the projector cabinet for 10 seconds will display the menu for canceling the Control ID. Assigning or Changing the Control ID 1. Turn on the projector. 2. Press the ID SET button on the remote control. The CONTROL ID screen will be displayed. If the projector can be operated with the current remote control ID, the [ACTIVE] will be displayed. If the projector cannot be operated with the current remote control ID, the [INACTIVE] will be displayed. To operate the inactive projector, assign the control ID used for the projector by using the following procedure (Step 3). 3. Press one of numeric keypad buttons while pressing and holding the ID SET button on the remote control. Example: To assign “3”, press the “3” button on the remote control. No ID means that all the projectors can be operated together with a single remote control. To set “No ID”, enter “000” or press the CLEAR button. TIP: The range of IDs is from 1 to 254. 4. Release the ID SET button. The updated CONTROL ID screen will be displayed. NOTE: • The IDs can be cleared in a few days after the batteries are run down or removed. • Accidentally pressing any one of the buttons of the remote control will clear currently specified ID with batteries removed.

The NORMAL mode is the mode that allows you to put the projector in the power-saving condition which consumes less power than the NETWORK STANDBY mode. NORMAL �����������������������������POWER indicator: Red light/STATUS indicator: Off When [NORMAL] is selected, only the following buttons and feature will w\ ork: POWER button on the projector cabinet and the remote control, and powering on from PC Control command� NETWORK STANDBY ����������POWER indicator: Orange light/STATUS indicator: Off When [NETWORK STANDBY] is selected, the projector can be turned on over a wired LAN connec - tion and only the following buttons, port, and features will work: POWER button on the projector cabinet and the remote control, powering on from PC Control com - mand, AUTO POWER ON, LAN port, wireless LAN unit (optional), Virtual Remote Tool, Controls by Image Express Utility Lite, LAN feature, and Mail Alert feature� NOTE: • Even when [NORMAL] is selected for [STANDBY MODE], power on or off can be done by using the PC CONTROL port. • The power consumption in the standby mode will not be included in calculating CO2 emission reduction. • Your setting will not be affected even when [RESET] is done from the menu. Enabling Direct Power On [DIRECT POWER ON] Turns the projector on automatically when the power cord is inserted into an active power outlet. This eliminates the need to always use the POWER button on the remote control or projector cabinet.
95 5. Using On-Screen Menu Turning On the Projector By Applying Computer Signal [AUTO POWER ON] When the projector is in Standby mode, applying a computer or HDMI signal from a computer connected to the COM- PUTER IN input, HDMI1/MHL, or HDMI2 input will power on the projector and simultaneously project the image. This functionality eliminates the need to always use the POWER button on the remote control or the projector cabinet to power on the projector. To use this function, first connect a computer to the projector and the projector to an active AC input. NOTE: • Disconnecting a computer signal from the computer will not power off the projector. We recommend using this function in com- bination of the AUTO POWER OFF function. • This function will not be available under the following conditions: - when a component signal is applied to the COMPUTER IN terminal - when a Sync on Green RGB signal or composite sync signal is applied - when MHL signal is spplied to HDMI1/MHL IN terminal • To enable the AUTO POWER ON after turning off the projector, wait 5 seconds and input a computer or HDMI signal. If a computer or HDMI signal is still present when the projector is turned off, the AUTO POWER ON will not work and the projector remains in standby mode. Enabling Power Management [AUTO POWER OFF] The projector has power management functions. To reduce power consumption, the power management functions (1 and 2) are factory preset as shown below. To control the projector from an external device via a LAN or serial cable connection, use the on-screen menu to change the settings for 1 and 2. 1. STANDBY MODE (Factory preset: NORMAL) To control the projector from an external device, select [NETWORK STANDBY] for [STANDBY MODE].
