 The projector can not receive any command for 10 seconds after the lamp is switched on. Wait 10 seconds 
before sending the command.
 If sending multiple commands, check that a response has been received from the projector for one 
command before sending the next command.
 When a command which does not require parameters to be sent, the colon (:) is not required.
 If an incorrect command is sent from the personal computer, the ER401 command will be sent from the 
projector to the personal computer.
