Functions
EasyMP supplied with the projector has two main functions:
• Network Screen Function - uses a wireless connection to connect to a
network and project images from a computer
• CardPlayer Function - projects files stored on a memory card in this
projector and allows a presentation to be shown without connecting to a
computer.
Projecting Images Using a Wireless Computer Connection
(Network Screen)
Have you ever tried to set up for a presentation where you had to fumble with cables
in the limited time between speakers or had to rearrange seating to connect a cable
that was just a little too short?
By setting up the wireless LAN card included with the projector, you can project
images from a computer that has a wireless LAN card or internal wireless LAN
functionality.
The two wireless LAN connection modes are "Easy connect mode
(ad hoc mode )" and "Access point mode (infrastructure mode)".
Of the two, when using "Easy connect mode", connection is as simple as setting up
corresponding passwords or numbers on both the projector and computer.
Projectors and computers can not only be connected one-to-one, but one computer
can be connected to as many as four projectors. This way, projectors placed in
several classrooms or conference rooms can simultaneously project images from
one computer.
Easy Connection with a Wireless LAN

Functions
If a wireless LAN system is already installed in an office, use the "Access point
mode" to share projectors from a participating computer via the company network.
Monitoring Projector Errors with EMP Monitor and SNMP
Using the "EMP Monitor" provided on the included CD-ROM, it is possible to
simultaneously monitor and control the projector from a computer, when using
"Access point mode" to connect to a computer on a wireless LAN. The monitoring
function monitors the error state, power status, and input status of the projector. The
control function performs simultaneous start-up, and image signal input switching
of multiple projectors. Using EMP monitor, it is possible for a single operator to
control the simultaneous starting and monitoring of projectors arranged in separate
classrooms or meeting rooms.
You can also use SNMP to monitor and control the status of projectors from a
computer. SNMP creates a notification message when an abnormal condition occurs
on a projector, and sends the notification to a computer identified by a pre-defined
IP address.
* In order to monitor a projector using SNMP, you need to first install SNMP
management software on the computer.

Using a Memory Card to Give a Presentation Without a
Computer (CardPlayer)
When a memory card containing image files, or a "scenario" made from PowerPoint
files, is set into the projector, its contents can be projected directly using the
CardPlayer function. Neither a computer, nor the application software are
necessary.
You can make your presentation with just this projector and a memory card, and not
be weighed down by other equipment.
Using "EMP SlideMaker2", which is provided on the CD-ROM, makes the
following operations simple.
• Extracting the selected slides from a PowerPoint file.
• Combine the selected slides from different PowerPoint files and save them
as one file.
This type of file is referred to as a "scenario" in this guide.
In addition to PowerPoint files, a scenario may contain JPEG, and BMP files.
See "Files that Can be Included in Scenarios" in the EasyMP Operation Guide.

Functions
Using "EMP SlideMaker2", you can extract and rearrange the selected parts of your
presentation without editing the original files, and easily and efficiently create
presentation material tailored to suit your audience and needs.
Insert a memory card containing a scenario into the projector. Select the CardPlayer,
and use the scenario playing function to present the scenario.
By storing pictures from a digital camera on a memory card, and inserting that
memory card into the projector, the photos can be projected directly using the
CardPlayer function. A computer is unnecessary because the projector can show
these images directly.
If graphics files are combined into folders, besides being able to view a file list, the
graphics files can be projected one-at-a-time in order as if showing photographic
slides.
See "Files that Can be Projected by the CardPlayer" in the EasyMP Operation
Guide.

Each of these programs is described below.
EasyMP Software Overview (Projector)
EasyMP supplied with this projector has the following functions.

browser, or to manage a projector using SNMP .
CardPlayer This function is used to project scenario and graphics files
stored on a memory card inserted into a projector, and it is
used to edit scenarios.
EMP NS Connection This software is used to transmit images from computer to
a projector using a wireless LAN.
EMP SlideMaker2 This software is used to create and transmit scenarios.
EMP Monitor This software is used to simultaneously monitor and
control multiple projectors that are connected to a network.
