The size of the projected image is basically determined by
the distance from the projector's lens to the screen.
The height from the centre of the lens to the bottom of
the screen will vary depending on the lens shift setting.

Refer to the table below to the projector so that the images are
projected onto the screen at the optimum size.
When suspending the
projector from a ceiling,
change the configuration
menu settings.
Avoid setting the projector up in places which are very dusty such as
bedrooms.
Clean the air filter at least once every 3 months.
Clean the air filter more frequently if using the projector in a dusty
environment.
When installing against a wall, leave a space of 20 cm (7.9 in.) or more between the
projector and the wall.
A special method of installation is required in order to suspend the projector from a ceiling.
Please contact your dealer if you would like to use this installation method.

Installing the cable cover
Once the video equipment or computer has been connected, you can
then install the cable cover that is included with the projector to cover
the connectors for a neat appearance.
Installation
Insert the two tabs inside the cable cover into the
notches in the projector.
Secure the cable cover by tightening the two fixing
screws.
If installing on a ceiling, you can change
the orientation of the EPSON logo plate
that would otherwise be upside-down.
Press your finger against the air exhaust
end of the plate. The opposite end of the
plate will lift up, so that you can pull it out
slightly and turn it around.
Securely tighten.
You can use a Phillips
screwdriver or a coin to tighten
the fixing screws.
Removal
Loosen the fixing screws until
they come away from the
projector, and then lift up the
cable cover to remove it.

Turn the power off for both the projector and the signal source before connecting them. If the power for
either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result.
Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the connections. If you try to
force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or number of terminals, a malfunction or damage
to the connector or port may result.
Connecting image sources
Some signal sources may have specially-
shaped ports. In such cases, use the
accessory or optional cables that are
supplied with the signal source to make the
connections.
