24 Setting Up the Projector
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.
Keep these considerations in mind as you position the projector:
■Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.
■Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and
under the projector.
■Make sure the projector is within 5.9 feet (1.8 meters) of a
grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on the
aspect ratio (image shape), how you zoom into the image, and
whether you’ve adjusted other image settings. Use the illustrations and
tables below to help you determine the projection distance.
You can also use the Image Size Calculator on the Epson website.
