When projecting from a table, the ideal arrangement is to set the projector flat on its surface. This way, you can use the lens shift knob (instead of raising the projector’s feet) to position the image on-screen. This delivers the best-looking picture. (See chapter 2 for details.)

You won’t need to tilt the projector upward as long as you position it so that its lens is at least as high as the bottom of the screen, but no higher than the middle of the screen, as shown:

no higher than middle of screen

no lower than bottom of screen

If you have to raise the front of the projector, you can use the projector’s keystone correction to eliminate distortion caused by tilting the projector upward. But you’ll get a better picture if you can leave the projector flat on the table and use the lens shift knob to adjust the height of the image.

If you’re projecting from overhead, you can get the best-looking picture by mounting the projector parallel to the ceiling, with its lens at least as high as the middle of the screen, but no higher than the top of the screen. Then use the lens shift knob to position the image on-screen.

note

After positioning the projector, you may want to connect a Kensington MicroSaver® anti-theft device to the lock port on the projector’s left side. You can purchase this from EPSON; see page 13.
