CLEANING. Small amounts of dust and wipe marks are very
noticeable on lens surfaces with a high brightness projection beam but
typically will not impact the image as much as damage from excessive
cleaning in pursuit of a "perfect" optical surface. Occasionally blowing
off the lens surfaces with clean air is the best way to maintain long
term performance. If there is any excessive residue or build-up then it
is recommended that you clean the optics with professional lens
cleaning supplies such as from a camera store while the lens is in front
of the lit beam of the projector. This will allow you to quickly see if the
cleaning process is causing any damage.

the top edge of the screen surface (about +3 to +5 inches is ideal)
and on the screen +/- 3 inches.horizontally centered
3. (throw distance divided by screen surface width) should Throw ratio
be at least 1.4:1.
4. Longer throw distances are encouraged to reduce edge
distortion. About 1.5” of screen border is needed to mask edge at
1.4:1 is needed at 1.6:1. At throw ratio. About 1.0” 2.0:1 throw ratio
