Functions
EasyMP supplied with this unit is divided into the following two functions:
• Network Screen Function - connects to a network and projects 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 Computer Images via a Network (Network Screen)
If a projector equipped with Network Screen is connected to a network via a
wireless LAN, computer images can be projected without cables.
Additionally, if the projector is connected to a LAN, the images of a computer on
the network can also be projected.
Wireless Connection

6
Functions
All-in-one Projector Management
If any errors occur with a projector, the projector can be made to notify the details
of these errors to a designated e-mail address.
In this way, projectors installed in remote locations can be monitored and controlled
from one place, saving time and energy.
If "EMP Monitor" is used, you can simultaneously turn the power to multiple
projectors on or off, and control multiple projectors connected to a network.
Wired LAN Connection

English
Giving a Presentation Without a Computer (CardPlayer)
By using CardPlayer, files saved to a memory card can be projected without using a
computer.
By using EMP SlideMaker2, the essential parts can be extracted from a Microsoft
PowerPoint file, rearranged to create a "scenario" and transmitted to a memory card.
As these transmitted scenarios are reproducible by Card Player, PowerPoint
presentations can be made at your destination by carrying just the projector and the
memory card on which the presentation is stored.
In addition to being able to view the files saved on a memory card in a list, files can
be projected in order, one at a time, like a slideshow.
MPEG movies can also be projected. If a movie file recorded on a digital video
camera or downloaded from the internet is stored on a memory card, it can be
played back by CardPlayer in the same way as an graphic file. If sound has been
recorded with the MPEG movie, the sound will also be played back. A more
effective presentation can be performed using movie files.

The frequency range which applies to the wireless LAN cards that can be used in
the projector is the 2.4GHz band. This wireless LAN card operates in the same
frequency bandwidth as industrial, scientific, and medical devices such as
microwave ovens and mobile unit identification (RF-ID) systems (licenced
premises radio stations and unlicenced specified low-power radio stations) used in
factory production lines.
Before using the wireless LAN card, check that there are not any radio stations for
mobile unit identification or specified low-power radio station premises nearby.
In the event that this wireless LAN card should interfere electromagnetically with
the premises of a radio station used for mobile unit recognition, cease use
immediately and stop generating the electromagnetic field.
Contact your nearest dealer or the address provided under "International Warranty
Conditions" in Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms if this wireless LAN
card interferes electromagnetically with a special low-power radio station used for
mobile unit identification or causes similar problems.
The wireless LAN card configuration is based on the specifications of the country
of purchase.
Because the wireless LAN card is designed to conform to the channel and
frequency limits of the country it is intended to be used in, please be cautious when
using it outside the country of purchase.
