Controlling the Projector by a Computer

When the RS-232C terminal on the projector is connected to a computer, the computer can be used to control 

the projector and check the status of the projector.

When connecting to a computer using an RS-232C serial control cable

Note

• The RS-232C function may not operate if your computer terminal is not correctly set up. Refer to the 

operation manual of the computer for details.

• For details on RS-232C specifi cations and commands, see page 52.

Info

• Do not connect the RS-232C cable to a port other than the RS-232C terminal on the computer. This may 

damage your computer or projector.

• Do not connect or disconnect an RS-232C serial control cable to or from the computer while it is on. This

Basic Operation

-25

Turning the Projector On/Off

Connecting the Power 
Cord

Plug the supplied power cord into the 

AC socket on the rear of the projector.

• The power indicator illuminates red, and the 

projector enters standby mode.

Turning the Projector On

Before performing the steps in this section, 

connect any equipment that you use with the 

projector. (See pages 18-25.)

Remove the lens cap and press 

ON 

on the projector or 

ON on the remote 

control.

• The power indicator illuminates blue. 

Note

• About the Lamp Indicator
  The lamp indicator illuminates to indicate the 

status of the lamp.

Blue:  The lamp is ready.

Blinking in blue:  The lamp is warming up.

Red: The lamp is shut down abnormally 

or the lamp should be replaced.

• When switching on the projector, a slight 

fl ickering of the image may be experienced 
within the fi rst minute after the lamp has been 
illuminated. This is normal operation as the 
lamp’s control circuitry is stabilizing the lamp 
output characteristics. This does not indicate 
malfunction.

• If the projector is put into standby mode and 

immediately turned on again, the lamp may 
take some time to illuminate.
