Caution

• Before making connections, read the instruction manual of the equipment to be connected.
• Use the optional USB cable to connect.
• Effective with USB only when the mouse is used.
• Do not use with any device other than a personal computer.
• When using with Windows 95, it is necessary to set so that USB can be used with version OSR 2.1 or higher. Depending on the kind or the vision of the host controller, operation may not be possible in some cases.
• In the case of notebook type computers with a built-in pointing device such as a track ball, in some cases the built-in pointing device will have priority even if a mouse is connected and the mouse may not be selected.
  In such case, disable the built-in pointing device and change the BIOS setting (system setup) so that an external mouse can be selected.
  After changing the BIOS setting, perform the operations described in 1 - 3 above.
  Refer to the computer hardware manual concerning the BIOS setting.
  Also, some computers may not have a utility program to operate a mouse. Refer to the computer hardware manual.

The command code configuration consists of a 2-byte command and the following data.

- The first byte of a command indicates the command type with 3 bits on the MSB side and the data length with 4 bits on the LSB side.

Projector - computer Computer - projector

‘0xH’ : Error code ‘2xH’ : inquiry code

'1xH': response code '3xH': setting code

‘70H’ : frame error code ‘4xH’ : default setting code

‘x’ indicates the data length (example: x=2 means a 2-byte command).

- The second byte of a command indicates the command contents.

Connection to the control signal terminal (continued)

Requesting projector status

(1) Send the request code ‘20H’ + ‘yyH’ from the computer to the projector.
(2) The projector returns the response code '1xH' + 'yyH' + data to the computer.

Changing the projector settings

(1) Send the setting code ‘3xH’ + ‘yyH’ + data from the computer to the projector.
(2) The projector changes the setting based on the above setting code.
(3) The projector returns the response code '1xH' + 'yyH' + data to the computer.

Caution

The response data in (3) above need not match the setting data in (1).

For example, when the projector cannot set the setting data in (1), the projector may set the closest value. That value will be used as the response data in (3). Or else the projector will return the error code '0xH' + 'yyH' + data.

Using the projector default settigns

(1) The computer sends the default setting code '40H' + 'yyH' to the projector.
(2) The projector changes the specified setting to the default value.
(3) The projector returns the default value with the response code '1xH' + 'yyH' = data.

When a command sent by the projector cannot be understood by the computer

(1) The computer sends the command code '3xH', '4xH' or '4xH' + 'yyH' + data to the projector.
(2) When the command sent by the projector cannot be understood, the error command '00H' + 'yyH' is returned by the computer.

When data sent by the projector cannot be understood

(1) The computer sends the command code '3xH', '4xH' or '4xH' + 'yyH' + data to the projector.
(2) When the command sent by the projector cannot be understood, the error code '0xH' + 'yyH' + data is returned.
When the data length is greater than indicated by the data length code, the projector will ignore the excess data code. Conversely, when the data length is shorter than indicated by the data length code, an error code will be returned to the projector.

When a frame error occurs

Repeats 10 times per second until there is some sort of response to the error code 70H + 70H .

When the interval between bytes in one command is 500ms or greater

When a command or data is not sent within 500ms after the command code ‘2xH’, ‘3xH’ or ‘4xH’ is sent by the computer, the error command ‘70H’ + ‘70H’ will be returned as soon as the 500ms elapses. After this, if there is no response within 1 sec., a frame error will occur.

Caution

• Operation cannot be guaranteed when the projector receives an undefined command or data.
• Provide an interval of at least 40ms between the response code and any other code.

Caution

Turn power off to all devices before connecting.

Refer to the instruction manual of each device before connecting.

Cleaning the Air filter

Clean the air filter about every 100 hours .

1 Turn off the MAIN POWER switch of the projector and pull out the power cord.

2 Remove the front air filter.

Cleaning the Air filter (continued)

3 Cleaning the air filter with a vacuum cleaner

4 Installing the air filter

Caution

When the air filter becomes clogged with dust, etc., the projector power may turn off to prevent the internal heat level rising.

Do not operate the projector with the air filter removed.

Lamp

The light source lamp has a service life.

When used for an extended time, the images may become darker and the colors may deteriorate.

A malfunction could occur if the projector is used in this condition, so replace the lamp with a new one.

The following indicator or a message which appears when the power is turned on will indicate when the lamp should be replaced.

At such time, it is necessary to replace the lamp with a new one. For lamp replacement, please contact your dealer or service company.

Caution

The indicator lamp will also light red when the lamp unit overheats. In such case, turn off the main power switch, wait for a while (approx. 20 min.) and then turn the power on again. If the indicator lamp lights red again when the power is turned on, contact your dealer or service company.
