ait 10 seconds before sending 
a command.
 
z If sending multiple commands, check that a response has been received from the projector for one command before 
sending the next.
 
z When a command which does not require parameters to be sent, a colon (:) is not required.
Note
 
z If an incorrect command is sent, the ER401 command will be sent from the projector to the personal computer
.
