Setting Up the Projector
Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use. Projector Placement Projector Connections Attaching and Removing a Lens Attaching and Removing the Cable Cover Attaching and Removing the Cable Clips Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
Projector Placement
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image. You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location. Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location: · Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount. · Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or
next to anything that could block the vents. · Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord. Projector Setup and Installation Options Projection Distance Parent topic: Setting Up the Projector
Projector Setup and Installation Options
You can set up or install your projector in the following ways:
28

Front Rear Front ceiling
29

Rear ceiling Note: Be sure to leave at least 20 inches (50 cm) of space in front of the air exhaust and intake vents and, when setting up multiple projectors, 20 inches (50 cm) of space between the projectors.
30

If you mount the projector to the ceiling, install it within the following angles: · Vertically: Any angle in a complete 360 degree circle.
· Horizontally: Within the adjustment range of the rear adjustable feet. If you project from the ceiling or from the rear, select the correct Projection setting and, if necessary, turn on the Inv Direction Button setting. If you installed the projector at an angle, select the Direction setting. Note: Selecting an incorrect Direction setting may shorten the lamp life. Parent topic: Projector Placement Related references Projector Setup Settings – Extended Menu
Projection Distance
The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.
31

Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.) You can also use the projector Throw Distance Calculator at epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).

    Connecting to an HDBaseT Transmitter
    To send an HDMI or RS-232C signal over a long distance, you can connect the projector to an optional HDBaseT transmitter using a 100Base-TX network cable. This is useful when you want to send a signal to or control the projector from a remote location, such as in a hall or event site, since you can use a network cable up to 328 feet (100 m) in length. To ensure proper data transmission, use a Category 5e STP cable or better. 1. Turn off the projector and HDBaseT transmitter.
    Note: Make sure the projector and HDBaseT transmitter are turned off when connecting or disconnecting a network cable between the two devices. 2. Connect one end of the network cable to the HDBaseT port on the transmitter.
  2. Connect the other end to the projector’s HDBaseT port.
    44

See the documentation that came with the HDBaseT transmitter for instructions on connecting it to your video device or computer. 4. Turn on the projector and HDBaseT transmitter. Note: To enable communication from the Ethernet and serial ports on the transmitter, select On as the Control Communications setting in the projector’s Extended menu. Turning on this setting disables the projector’s LAN, RS-232C, and Remote ports.

Registering a Digital Certificate on the Projector
Follow the instructions here if you need to install a digital certificate on the projector to provide security for your presentation files (PowerLite Pro G6070W/G6170/G6270W/G6470WU/G6570WU/G6770WU).

Note: You can register a digital certificate over a network. However, be sure to register just once or the certificate may not install correctly.

Secure HTTP Registering Digital Certificates from a Web Browser
Parent topic: Using the Projector on a Network
Secure HTTP
You can use the HTTPS protocol to increase security between the projector and a web browser communicating with it. To do this, you create a server certificate, install it on the projector, and turn on the Secure HTTP setting in the projector menus to verify the reliability of the web browser.
Even if you do not install a server certificate, the projector automatically creates a self-signed certificate and allows communication. However, because the self-signed certificate cannot verify reliability from a web browser, you see a warning about the server’s reliability when you access the projector from a web browser. This warning does not prevent communication.
