Info

•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.

Note

•When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector’s operating status cannot be read by the computer. Therefore, confirm the status by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment menu and checking the status with the on-screen display.

Commands

Example:

• When power on.
