Introduction
This chapter explains the projector's features and the part names.

Quick and Easy Set up, Projection, and Storage
•Turn the projector on and off by simply plugging in or unplugging.
•Project onto large screens from a short distance.
•Make easy height adjustments with one lever.
•No cool down delay makes it easy to put away.
Connecting with a USB cable and projecting (USB Display)
By simply connecting a USB cable, you can
project images from a computer's screen
without a computer cable.
s"Projecting with USB Display" p.32
Detecting projector movements and automatically correcting
image distortion
This projector automatically corrects vertical keystone distortion which
occurs when positioning or moving the projector.
s"Correcting automatically" p.36
Horizontal keystone adjuster
This allows you to quickly correct horizontal distortion in the projected
image. This is useful if you cannot install the projector parallel to the
screen.
s"Correcting manually" p.37
Useful Functions for Projecting Images
Project two images simultaneously (Split Screen)
This function divides the projected screen in
two and projects two types of image side-by-
side. By simultaneously projecting images from
two sources on one screen, you can raise the
impact of your message or proposition during
video conferences or presentations.
s"Projecting Two Images Simultaneously
(Split Screen) " p.49
Projector Features
8

Increasing projection content in wide (WXGA) screen (EB-1940W
only)
With a computer that has a 16:10 WXGA wide
LCD display, the image can be projected in the
same aspect. You can use whiteboards and other
landscape format screens.
s"Changing the Aspect Ratio of the Projected
Image " p.44
Making the most of the remote control
You can use the remote control to perform operations such as enlarging
part of the image. You can also use the remote control as a pointer during
presentations or as a mouse for the computer.
s"Pointer Function (Pointer)" p.62
s"Enlarging Part of the Image (E-Zoom)" p.63
s"Using the Remote Control to Operate the Mouse Pointer (Wireless
Mouse)" p.64
Enlarge and project your files with the Document Camera
You can project paper documents and objects using the optional Document
Camera. Image focus is automatically adjusted using the auto focus
function. You can also enlarge images using digital zoom.
s"Optional Accessories" p.128
Connect a USB storage device and project PDFs, movies, and
images (Slideshow)
You can connect USB storage devices or digital cameras to the projector
and project saved images.
A wide range of file formats are supported such as PDF, movie, and image
files.
s"Projecting Without a Computer (Slideshow)" p.53
Enhanced security functions
•Password Protect to restrict and manage users
By setting a Password you can restrict who can use the projector.
s"Managing Users (Password Protect)" p.70
•Control Panel Lock to restrict button operation on the control panel
You can use this to prevent people changing projector settings without
permission at events, in schools, and so on.
s"Restricting Operation (Control Panel Lock)" p.72
•Equipped with various anti-theft devices
The projector is equipped with the following types of anti-theft security
devices.
•Security slot
•Security cable installation point
s"Anti-Theft Lock" p.73
Optimum color mode for projecting medical images
A color mode called DICOM SIM is provided to project medical images,
such as X-ray photographs. This mode produces image quality that
approaches the DICOM standard.
(The projector is not a medical device and cannot be used for medical
diagnosis.)
Projector Features

s"Selecting the Projection Quality (Selecting Color Mode)" p.43
Precise color adjustments
You can adjust the image's absolute color temperature and the strength of
each RGB color. You can also adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness of
each RGBCMY to obtain color matching in superior detail.
s"Adjusting the Image" p.41
Taking Full Advantage of a Network Connection
Connecting to a network and projecting images from the
computer's screen
You can connect the projector to a computer on
a network and project the computer's screen
using the supplied EasyMP Network Projection
(application software).
sEasyMP Network Projection Operation
Guide
Projecting images from portable devices over a network
If "Epson iProjection" is installed on your smart
phone or tablet device, you can wirelessly
project data from the device. Because you can
operate these devices from any location, you can
vary the way in which conferences or
presentations are made.
You can download "Epson iProjection" for free from the App Store. Any
fees incurred when communicating with the App Store are the
responsibility of the customer.
Easy connection to a computer with Quick Wireless Connection
By simply connecting the optional Quick
Wireless Connection USB Key to a computer,
you can project the computer's screen. (Only for
Windows computers that support wireless
LAN)

Replacing the remote control batteries
If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not
operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the
batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new
batteries. Have two AA size manganese or alkaline batteries ready. You
cannot use other batteries except for the AA size manganese or alkaline.
Attention
Make sure you read the following manual before handling the batteries.
sSafety Instructions

Preparing the Projector
This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.

Installation Methods
The projector supports the following four different projection methods.
Install the projector according to the conditions of the installation location.
•Project images from in front of
the screen. (Front projection)
•Project images from behind a
translucent screen. (Rear projec‐
tion)
•Suspend the projector from the
ceiling and project images from
in front of a screen. (Front/Ceil‐
ing projection)
•Suspend the projector from the
ceiling and project images from
behind a translucent screen.
(Rear/Ceiling projection)
Warning
•A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector
from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall
causing an accident and injury.
•If you use adhesives on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws
from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the
projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling
mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount
and could damage the projector.
When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to
prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so
on.
•Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of
the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
Attention
Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
