Projector Placement

Your ultra-short throw projector is designed to be installed on a wall (with a wall mount) or vertically on a table (with a table mount) to create an interactive tabletop workspace.

You can also place the projector on a flat surface such as a desk or table to project in a portable setup.

Note: Finger touch is only available if the projector is installed on a wall (with a wall mount) or vertically on a table (with a table mount).

Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:

• Follow the instructions in the Installation Guide provided with your mounting hardware to install the projector using the included mounting equipment.

• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or next to anything that could block the vents.

• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

• If installing vertically on a desk or table, the table projection mount (V12H516020) is required.

• If installing on a wall, the wall mount (V12H777020) is required.

• If the projector is not mounted, place it on a sturdy, level surface.

• For finger touch, make sure the projection surface is flat, smooth, and unwarped with no more than 0.2

inch (5 mm) of unevenness in any direction.

Projector Setup and Installation Options

You can set up or install your projector in the following ways:

Mounted on the wall or ceiling

Mounted vertically on a table to create an interactive workspace

Mounted vertically underneath a table to project from behind a translucent screen

34

Mounted on the wall or ceiling and projecting from behind a translucent screen

Front projection from a table or portable cart (finger touch not supported)

Rear projection from a table or portable cart behind a translucent screen

35

Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the screen, not at an angle.

If you project from a table or portable cart, or from the rear, be sure to select the correct Projection option in the projector's menu system.

Note: You cannot use the interactive pens or finger touch when projecting from behind a screen.

Projection Distance

The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.

Refer to the tables in the Installation Guide included with your mount to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.) You can also use the projector Throw Distance Calculator at epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).

Connecting to a Computer for USB Video and Audio

If your computer meets the system requirements, you can send video and audio output to the projector through the computer's USB port (preferably USB 2.0). Connect the projector to your computer using a

USB cable.

Note: This also lets you use the interactive pens with your computer. You need to change the USB Type

B setting in the projector's Extended menu before you can project through the USB port. Note that using

USB Display will slow interactive pen function. For the best performance, VGA or HDMI connections are recommended.

38

Note: A USB connection may cause a delay for content requiring high bandwidth, such as movies. An

HDMI connection is recommended for projecting movies, video games, and other home entertainment content.

1.

Turn on your computer.

2.

Connect the cable to your projector's USB-B port.

3.

Connect the other end to any available USB port on your computer.

4.

To use USB Display, do one of the following:

Windows 10/8.x: Click EPSON_PJ_UD in the upper right-corner, then select Run

EMP_UDSE.exe in the dialog box that appears to install the Epson USB Display software.

Windows 7/Windows Vista: Select Run EMP_UDSE.exe in the dialog box that appears to install the Epson USB Display software.

Mac: The USB Display setup folder appears on your screen. Select USB Display Installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the Epson USB Display software.

Follow any on-screen instructions. You need to install this software only the first time you connect the projector to the computer.

The projector displays the image from your computer's desktop and outputs sound, if your presentation contains audio.

Connecting to a Computer for VGA Video

You can connect the projector to your computer using a VGA computer cable.

Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's VGA video port.

Contact Apple for compatible adapter options.

1.

If necessary, disconnect your computer's monitor cable.

2.

Connect the VGA computer cable to your computer's monitor port.

3.

Connect the other end to a Computer port on the projector.

4.

Tighten the screws on the VGA connector.

Connecting to a Computer for HDMI Video and Audio

If your computer has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an optional HDMI cable.

Note: To connect a Mac that includes only a Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt port, or Mini-DVI port for video output, you need to obtain an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's HDMI port.

Contact Apple for compatible adapter options. Older Mac computers (2009 and earlier) may not support audio through the HDMI port.

1.

Connect the HDMI cable to your computer's HDMI output port.

40

2.

Connect the other end to one of the projector's HDMI ports.

Note: The projector converts the digital audio signal sent from your computer into a mono analog signal for the internal speaker or a stereo analog signal if you are connecting to external speakers.

Note: If you have problems hearing audio through the HDMI connection, you can use one of the projector's audio ports instead to play sound. Connect one end of an optional 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack audio cable to one of the projector's audio ports and the other end to your computer's audio out port.

Then select the audio port you connected to as the HDMI1 Audio Output, HDMI2 Audio Output, or

HDMI3 Audio Output setting in the Extended menu.
