OPT. (OPTION)  Menu
The OPT. Menu allows you to adjust the Communication Function* (COM. SPEED and COM. BITS), enabling
you to control the projector from a computer. The OPT. Menu also allows you to set the TIMER, select the
LANGUAGE for all on-screen displays, activate AUTO OFF  and START UP.
IMPORTANT: If AUTO OFF is activated and shuts off the
projector lamp, wait at least one (1) minute. Then  press--and
briefly hold--the STANDBY/ON button. The lamp will turn back
on.
* NOTE: Computer control of the projector (communication
function) is an advanced feature that requires specialized
software not included with the PJ860. To develop this software
you will need various control codes and other supplementary
information available from ViewSonic Customer Support. (See
page 15.)

Technical Information
Timing Chart
The following table lists the maximum refresh rates that the ViewSonic PJ860 will operate at a number of standard
resolutions (timing presets). While the projector is capable of this level of performance, not all video cards are
capable of operating at these signal timings. See your graphics cards user guide to ensure compatibility.
CAUTION:Some input sources may not display properly if they are not compatible with the
projector. Some input sources may not display in full size, as shown in Output Resolutions.
Connecting to the RS232 Port
The RS232C Port has two possible uses:
1Mouse Emulation This allows you to use a mouse with one computer at a time, by toggling between one
computer connected to RGB1 and another computer connected to RGB2.
NOTE: Depending on which type of mouse you will be using (PS/2, ADB, or Serial) you must use the appropriate connector. (See diagrams
below.)
2Computer Control Port This is only used for special applications in which a computer controls the projector
(
instead of the projectors control buttons or Remote Control Unit).
NOTE: To use this feature you must first develop customized software using various control codes.  To find out how to access this supplementary
information, contact  ViewSonic Customer Support.  (See page 15.)
Mouse Emulation
1With both the projector and the computer powered OFF,
connect the projector and the mouse terminal of the
computer using the appropriate cable. (See diagrams to
the right.)
2Disconnect the existing mouse.
3Power ON the projector, then power ON the computer.
NOTE: If mouse emulation will not start, reset the
computer and/or check the mouse driver.(b)  ADB (Macintosh)
