Projection size
(diagonal)
Height from the edge of screen
to center of lens (H)
Projection distance (L)
Min (wide) Max (telephoto)
Calculation of the projection distance
For a screen size different from the above, use the equation below to calculate the projection distance.
Aspect ratio 4:3
minimum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) x 0.0304 - 0.048
maximum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) x 0.0606 - 0.057
NOTE:
Distances calculated with the above equations will include a slight error.
* This distance is especially recom-
mended for ceiling-mounted use and
other permanent installations.
NOTE:
Values shown are approximate. The value
for L (distance to screen) varies slightly
depending on the zoom lens characteris-
tics.
When the shortest projection distance is
used, a small amount of distortion may
occur in the image due to the zoom lens
characteristics.
The value for H (the height from the edge
of the screen to the centre of the lens) is
the value when the horizontal optical axis
shift function is not used. The value
decreases when the horizontal optical
axis shift function is used. For details,
see Shift range on page 6.

Computer data compatibility
This projector accepts up to 91 kHz horizontal scanning frequency and 162 MHz dot clock.
NOTE: Pixel thinning is applied to signals that exceed a dot clock frequency of 110 MHz. The display resolution of this projector is 1,024
x 768 pixels. If the display resolution indicated in the above data exceeds this resolution, image compression will be used to con-
vert the input signal to 1,024 x 768 pixels.

Serial connector
The serial connector complies with RS-232C. To control the projector from a personal computer, com-
mands must be input through communication software, based on the format and satisfying the commu-
nication conditions shown below.
Pin assignments and signal names
Communication conditions (factory setting)
Basic format
Transmission from the computer begins with STX, then the ID, command, parameter, and ETX are sent
in this order. Add parameters according to the details of control.
CAUTIION
It may not be possible to send or receive commands for about 10 to 60 seconds when the lamp is first turned on. If this occurs, wait for 60 seconds, then
try sending or receiving again. When sending multiple commands, be sure to wait for at least 0.5 second after receiving a response from the projector
before sending the next command. Additional time is sometimes required for response due to processing inside the projector. Set the time-out period for
command response to 10 seconds or more.
NOTE:
If a wrong command is received, the projector will send an ER401 command to the computer.
When sending commands without parameters, a colon (:) is not necessary.
*Effective when connected to a PC having proper functions.

Notes on Projector Placement and Operation:
The projector uses a high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the
following precautions.
1. Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operating.
2. Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm (19-11/16˝) or more around the projector’s
exhaust openings.
3. If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, ensure the temperature of the air surrounding the
projector is between 0°C/32°F and 35°C/95°F. Also make sure the projector’s intake and exhaust
openings are not blocked. Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is
not sucked into the intake openings.
Direction of Air Intake and Exhaust
200 mm (7-7/8˝) or more 500 mm (7-5/8˝) or more 500 mm (7-5/8˝) or more
Operating the Projector Continuously
1. If the projector is to be operated continuously 10 hours or more, lamp replacement cycle duration
becomes shorter.
2. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short
periods.
