Basic format
Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code.
After the projector processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the
computer.

Note
•
When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the response code for the
previous command from the projector is verified.
previous command from the projector is verified.
•
To conserve power in STANDBY MODE, the CPU in this model will enter Deep Sleep mode
approximately 10 seconds after the last command is received. In the case of transmitting
commands during Deep Sleep mode, it takes a maximum of 30 seconds until the response code is
received. If subsequent commands are sent to the projector within 10 seconds, the projector will
reply immediately. If no further commands are received within 10 seconds, the projector will again
return to Deep Sleep mode. Please note that Deep Sleep mode is only activated in STANDBY
MODE. There is no delayed RS-232C response when the projector is in operation.

A special command, POWR???? is available for applications that require continuous polling. This
command will not wake the CPU in Deep Sleep mode and the projector will provide immediate reply
in STANDBY mode. “1” will indicate Power on, “0” will indicate Power off. When the power is turned
on during standby with the “POWER ON” command, wait for at least 30 seconds after the power
has been turned on, and then transmit the next command.

•
We suggest disabling the AUTO SEARCH feature before initiating RS-232C communications. If
AUTO SEARCH is enabled, it will be necessary to send the POWER OFF command “POWR_ _ _0”
two times to power down the projector. (The first “POWR_ _ _0” command cancels AUTO SEARCH
and the second “POWR_ _ _0” command will place the projector in standby mode.)

Note
When using the computer control function of the projector, the adjustment values cannot be read by the
computer. Therefore, confirm the values by transmitting the display commands (e.g. “RARE_ _ _0”) for
each adjustment menu and checking the values with the on-screen display. If the projector receives
adjustment/setting commands other than menu display commands, it will execute the commands without
displaying the on-screen display.
