Positioning The Projector; Image Size And Projection Distance - Epson PowerLite 6110i User Manual

Positioning the Projector

Follow these guidelines to get the best results when projecting:
❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.
❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around
and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of
loose papers that could block the vent under the projector.
❏ Make sure the projector is within 10 feet (3 meters) of a
grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
❏ Face the projector squarely toward the screen.
The projector supports 4 viewing setups, as shown below. If it
is installed in a rear or overhead position, you need to select
the correct projection option from the Extended menu after
you turn it on. (See the User's Guide for instructions.)
If the projector is tilted in the front or the back, you may need
to adjust the image shape. See page 7.

Image Size and Projection Distance

The distance between the projector and the screen determines
the basic size of the projected image, as shown below. The
diagram shows approximately how big your image will be
(diagonally), based on where you set up the projector. Because
other adjustments—such as those made with the zoom ring—
also affect the size of the image, the numbers shown in the
illustration should be considered as general guidelines, not
exact measurements.
For more help determining the size of your image or where to
position the projector, try the Image Size Calculator on the
Multimedia Projectors page for your projector on Epson's
website.
