Info

•When controlling the projector using RS-232C commands from a computer, wait for at least 30 seconds after the power has been turned on, and then transmit the commands.

•After sending an input selection command and then receiving an “OK” response code, the projector may take some time to process the command. Please be aware that commands should be sent at intervals of at least 5 seconds.

•When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the response code for the previous command from the projector is verified.

•“POWR????” “TABN _ _ _ 1” “TLPS _ _ _ 1” “TPOW _ _ _ 1” “TLPN _ _ _ 1” “TLTT _ _ _ 1” “TLTL _ _ _ 1” “TNAM _ _ _ 1” “MNRD _ _ _ 1” “PJN0 _ _ _ 1”

-When the projector receives the special commands shown above:

*The on-screen display will not disappear.
