Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a number greater than the maximum range is received, it is automatically set to the maximum number for that function. If a command is received that is not understood, a "?" is returned. With absolute settings, "0" is off, 1-9999 is on. The one excep- tion is the Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on.

To assure the projector can process a command, wait 3 seconds before enter- ing the next command.
