Compatible Computer Display Formats
To project images from a computer, set the computer’s video
card at a refresh rate (vertical frequency) compatible with the
projector; see the following table for compatible formats. Some
images are automatically resized to display in the projector’s
“native” format (XGA). The frequencies of some computers
may not allow images to display correctly; see your computer’s
documentation for details.
Positioning the Projector
Follow these guidelines to get the best results when projecting:
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between
2.8 and 35.4 feet from the screen.
❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around
and under the projector.
❏ Make sure the projector is within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of a
grounded electrical outlet or extension cord and within
5 feet (1.5 meters) of the image source.
❏ Face the projector squarely toward the screen.
The projector supports 4 viewing setups, as shown below. If it is
installed in a rear or overhead position, you need to select the
correct projection option from the Extended menu after you
turn it on.
If the projector is tilted in the front or the back, you may need
to adjust the image shape; see page 7.

Image Size and Projection Distance
The distance between the projector and the screen determines
the basic size of the projected image, as shown below. The
diagram shows approximately how big your image will be, based
on where you set up the projector. Because other adjustments—
such as those made with the
Resize and keystone buttons—also
affect the size of the image, the numbers shown in the
illustration should be considered as general guidelines, not exact
measurements.
Use the formulas given below to either find out how large your
image will be when you know the distance from the projector to
the screen, or to find out how far from the screen to place the
projector when you want an image of a certain size. Since the
size of the image can be changed by rotating the zoom ring,
formulas are given for both the minimum and maximum sizes.
To determine the diagonal size (inches) of an image when you
know the projection distance (feet):
❏ Wide: Maximum diagonal size (inches) = 10.126246
×
distance (feet) + 1.166113
❏ Tele: Maximum diagonal size (inches) = 8.443213
×
distance (feet) + 0.916898
To determine the projection distance (feet) when you know the
diagonal size (inches) of the screen image:
❏ Wide: Maximum projection distance (feet) = 0.09875
×
diagonal size (inches) - 0.11516
❏ Tele: Maximum projection distance (feet) = 0.11844
×
diagonal size (inches) - 0.1086
Turning On the Projector
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and
connected correctly. Then turn on your projector, as described
below.
If you turn on your connected computer or video equipment
before starting the projector, the projector automatically detects
and displays the image source. If you turn on the projector first,
or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have
to select the image source manually. See “Selecting the Image
Source” on page 6.
Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector:
1. Remove the lens cap.
Caution:
Do not use the projector with the lens cap in place. The heat
generated by the lamp can damage the cap.
2. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s power
inlet. Then connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
The
Power light on top of the projector turns orange.
3. Turn on your computer or video source if they are not on
already.
4. Press the P
Power button on top of the projector or on the
remote control.

Replacing Remote Control Batteries
When the batteries run out, follow the steps below to replace
them. The remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries.
Caution:
When replacing batteries, take the following precautions:
❏ Replace the batteries as soon as they run out. If a battery leaks,
wipe away battery fluid with a soft cloth. If fluid gets on your
hands, wash them immediately.
❏ Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
❏ Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
❏ Remove the batteries if you won’t be using the remote control for
a long period of time.
1. Press in the tab to remove the battery cover.
2. Remove the old batteries, then insert the new ones as
shown.
3. Replace the battery cover. Make sure it clicks into place.
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before you clean the projector case, turn off the projector and
unplug the power cord.
❏ To remove dirt or dust, wipe the outside with a soft, dry,
lint-free cloth.
❏ To remove stubborn dirt or stains, clean the case using a soft
cloth moistened with water and a neutral detergent. Dry it
using a separate cloth.
Caution:
Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, wax, or other chemicals; these
can damage the case.
Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
❏ Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
❏ To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use lens-cleaning
paper. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner
and gently wipe the lens surface.
Caution:
Do not use glass cleaner to clean the lens and do not spray liquid of
any kind directly on the lens. Spray the lens cleaner on a soft cloth
and then gently wipe the lens with the cloth.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter and the air intake and exhaust vents on the
projector after every 100 hours of use. If they are not cleaned
periodically, they can become clogged with dust, preventing
proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and damage the
projector. When the filter and vent are clogged, the projector
displays the message
The projector is overheated.
To clean the air filter, air intake, and air exhaust vents, follow
these steps:
1. Turn off the projector, and unplug the power cord.

2. Turn the projector upside-down and clean the air filter and
air intake vent. Epson recommends using a small vacuum
cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment.
If you don’t have one, gently clean them using a very soft
brush (such as an artist’s brush).
If dirt is difficult to remove or the filter is torn, replace it.
The air filter set (part number
V13H134A08) contains two
filters. See page 14 for ordering information.
3. If you need to replace the filter, slide it off, as shown.
4. Align the new filter carefully and slide it in until it clicks
into place.
Replacing the Lamp

(in high brightness mode) or 3000 hours (in low brightness
mode). It is time to replace the lamp when:
❏ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
❏ The
Lamp light is flashing orange.
❏ The message
Replace the Lamp appears on the screen
when the lamp comes on. To maintain projector brightness
and image quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible.

Let the lamp cool before replacing it. If the lamp breaks, handle
the shards carefully to avoid injury.
