Installation

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another.

In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent it from being moved during a presentation.

If you do this, you may need to vertically shift the image to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Lens Adjustments on page 31.

When connecting your equipment:
