RS-232C Port Specifications

Basic format

Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the projector processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer.

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

•When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector operating status cannot be read to the computer. Therefore, confirm the status by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment menu and checking the status with the On-screen Display. If the projector receives a command other than a menu display command, it will execute the com- mand without displaying the On-screen Display.
