Serial Communication Kit

The Serial Communication Kit allows your computer and projector to communi- cate over an RS-232C connection. The kit includes an RS-232C serial cable and two software utilities: ELP Link and ELP Remote Programmer.

•ELP Link allows you to make adjustments to the projector from your computer. The same controls that are available on your remote control, including the ability to access the projector menus, are available from the main ELP Link screen.

•The ELP Remote Programmer allows you to use the remote control to control your computer. The trackball moves the mouse on your computer monitor, and five buttons on the remote control can be programmed to drag or click windows and icons or perform the same functions as keys on your keyboard.

For information on using ELP Link, see Chapters 2 and 3. For information on the ELP Remote Programmer, see Chapter 4.

Standby mode

Standby mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp if the projector has not been used for a specified period of time (the default is

10 minutes). In standby mode, the projector remains on but the lamp is turned off. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp.

Use the Standby button on the remote control to turn standby mode on or off.
