■To receive a signal from your computer’s USB port, you’ll need a USB cable. You can purchase one from Epson. See “Optional Accessories” on page 12.

Positioning the Projector

If the projector isn’t already installed in the room you’re using, you’ll probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen. This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to get a good-size image.

Use the illustrations on page 18 to help you determine placement. Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you position the zoom ring and whether you’ve adjusted the image with other settings.

note

You can mount the projector on the ceiling, or place it behind a translucent screen for rear projection. See page 149 for details.
