Positioning The Projector - Epson PowerLite G5000 User Manual

Positioning the Projector

If the projector isn't already installed in the room you're using, you'll
probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen. This lets
you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain
close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to leave as
much space as possible between the projector and the screen to get a
good-size image.
Use the illustration below to help you determine placement. Image
size increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you
position the zoom ring and whether you've adjusted the image with
other settings.

under the projector.
■ Make sure the projector is within 10 feet (3 meters) of a grounded
electrical outlet or extension cord.
