Maintaining and Transporting the Projector Follow the instructions in these sections to maintain your projector and transport it from place to place. Projector Maintenance Transporting the Projector Projector Maintenance Your projector needs little maintenance to keep working at its best. You may need to clean the lens periodically, and clean the air filter and air vents to prevent the projector from overheating due to blocked ventilation.
• To remove dust or smudges, gently move the shutter to the side and wipe the lens with lens-cleaning paper. • To remove stubborn smudges, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens. Do not spray any liquid directly on the lens. Warning: Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas. The high heat generated by the projector lamp may cause a fire.
Note: Unplug any charging cables from the glasses before cleaning them. Caution: Do not use paper towels or any other abrasive materials to clean the glasses. Parent topic: Projector Maintenance Air Filter and Vent Maintenance Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector. Your Epson projector is designed with an easily accessible, user-replaceable filter to protect your projector and make regular maintenance simple. Filter maintenance intervals will depend on the environment.

Displaying From a PC Laptop Displaying From a Mac Laptop Parent topic: Solving Image Problems Related concepts Projector Connections Displaying From a PC Laptop If you see the "No Signal" message when you display from a PC laptop, you need to set up the laptop to display on an external monitor. 1. Hold down the laptop's Fn key and press the key labeled with a monitor icon or CRT/LCD. (See your laptop manual for details.) Wait a few seconds for an image to appear.
• Make sure the computer's display resolution does not exceed the projector's resolution and frequency limit. If necessary, select a different display resolution for your computer. (See your computer manual for details.) • As a test, try setting the computer's display resolution to the lowest possible setting, and then gradually increase it as necessary. • Check the input resolution under Projector Info in the Info menu and make sure that the projector supports that resolution.
• Try to fix the image using lens shift before adjusting the Keystone setting. • If you adjusted the projector height using the projector feet, press the keystone buttons on the projector to adjust the image shape. • Adjust the image shape using the Keystone menu setting.
Solutions When the Image is Fuzzy or Blurry If the projected image is fuzzy or blurry, try the following solutions: • Adjust the image focus. • Clean the projector lens. • Check the lens for condensation. Note: To avoid condensation on the lens after bringing the projector in from a cold environment, let the projector warm up to room temperature before using it. • Position the projector close enough to the screen, and directly in front of it.
• Make sure all the cables are securely connected to the projector and your video device. If you connected long cables, try connecting shorter cables. • Position the projector close enough to the screen. • If the image has been progressively darkening, you may need to replace the projector lamp soon.
• Avoid using the projector near wireless networks, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, or other devices that use the 2.4 GHz frequency band. These devices can interfere with the signal between the projector and the 3D glasses. • If the other solutions do not solve the problem, change the Inverse 3D Glasses setting on the Signal menu.
