 Note
This projector supports a special feature called closed captioning which allows 
subtitles to be displayed at the bottom of the picture. This is pursuant to the 
Regulations set forth by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Due 
to the different broadcasting or signaling system, it may not operate correctly in 
other regions or countries where TV programs do not support closed captioning.
Closed Caption may not appear correctly depending on the signal conditions or the 
recording conditions of videotapes.
If the Text is not available, only a black rectangle background may appear on screen.  
To prevent this from appearing, set the Closed Caption to [Off].
When you switch channels of broadcasting programs or play a videotape using 
“trick play” functions such as rewind or fast-forward, the operations in the connected 
device may cause the Caption or Text to remain on the screen for a while.
Closed Caption is available for Video and S-Video input images.

Before connecting via a network
Check your computer’s Operating System before you connect a projector 
with your computer via a network. 
This projector supports the Network Projector function of Windows Vista® and Windows® 7 
features.
•  If your computer’s Operating System is 
Windows  Vista® or Windows® 7, and you intend 
to use the Network Projector function for network connection, see “Connection using 
the Network Projector (Windows  Vista® or Windows® 7)” p.46, “Setting up the 
Network Projector/Network Utility” p.51 and “Using the Network Projector” p.61.
• 
If your computer’s Operating System is Windows® 000 or Windows® XP, see “Connection 
using the Network Utility” p.46, “Setting up the Network Projector/Network Utility” p.51 
and “Using the Network Utility” p.64.
Connection using the Network Projector (Windows  Vista® or  
Windows® 7)*
* Now referred to as “Network Projector.”
Functions
By using the Connect to a Network Projector wizard, you can connect to any 
projectors which support the Network Projector function over a wireless or a wired 
network.
You can make a presentation without any connection setting issues.
 Notes
This function’s operation has been verified on the Ultimate and Business 
editions of Windows Vista®, Professional and Ultimate editions of Windows® 7.
To communicate in Ad hoc mode with a computer over wireless LAN also 
requires IP address settings.
In case the resolution of your computer is higher than that of the projector, your 
computer must be set at lower resolution.
Transferring video images and audio sound is not available.
This function does not work while the projector is connected to your computer 
using the Network Utility software.
Connection using the Network Utility
Functions
The following functions are available with the wired LAN, or via wireless LAN when 
the LAN dedicated application software: [Network Utility] p.64 included with this 
projector is used.
1)  Displaying a computer’s screen via the projector
The computer’s desktop screen can be sent, as well as the screens of a variety 
of software applications, to the projector for display. Likewise, the sound being 
played on a computer can also be sent to the projector. Using the Network Mouse 
Controller function, you can operate your computer with the projector’s remote 
control.
2) Displaying a JPEG file saved on a computer via the projector
JPEG files can be sent to the projector for display.

3) Displaying a video image saved on a computer via the projector
Video files can be sent to the projector for image display. As well, the sound 
stored in the video file is sent to the projector.
4) Displaying computer’s screens via projectors using the 
Multiscreen function 
This function allows users to display multiple screens by sending data to different 
projectors from a single computer by setting up the virtual displays on the computer.
You can also send only the screens that you specify to the projector for display.
5) Operating the projector by means of a computer
Some of the same functions available from the remote control can be performed.
 Note
Network Utility is also operable with Windows Vista® or Windows® 7.
Communication mode
The wireless LAN of this projector supports both Ad hoc and Infrastructure 
Communication modes.
 Ad hoc communication mode
This is the transmission mode to communicate 
between wireless LAN equipment.
This mode is applicable, for example, to a 
presentation in the conference room, as it requires 
no other facilities. This function can only be used if 
the projector is in range of the computer’s wireless signals.
Ricoh does not guarantee the coverage of the radio wave in the form of figures. The 
coverage varies depending on the performance of each wireless LAN equipment, 
existence of obstacles or other wireless LAN equipment used by nearby working 
groups, etc. The coverage is generally estimated on the assumption that wireless LAN 
equipment be used in an unobstructed office or conference room.
 Infrastructure communication mode
A mixed wireless and wired LAN can be created 
via wireless LAN access points. (Communications 
between wireless LAN devices are also allowed.) 
Connecting to the rest of the world via a wired 
LAN or the Internet generally requires a high level 
of security.
Use the appropriate transmission mode for your 
network environment.
Caution when using the wireless LAN functions
The Wireless LAN in this unit uses the .4 GHz waveband.  If there is a similar wireless 
LAN in the area, or a wireless device using the .4 GHz waveband, or a microwave oven, 
the communication efficiency of this apparatus will be reduced, and may become unusable, 
but it is not a fault. If this happens, check an area away from the current location that will 
not cause radio interference to medical, industrial and public equipment, and change to 
it, or stop using the unit.
